The latex finger or what it is... so good. 😂😂😂 Love your humour! Great video! 🤩
Thanks Bettina. A lot of people don't like the little hand 👈👆👇
@@HermanHitstheRoad That's a shame! 🤪
Great video, thanks Adam! And handy to know about Hook Lighthouse as we'll be getting off the ferry quite late next week on our way back from visiting our eldest daughter in Nottingham 👍
Hi Sean, Hook lighthouse is a bit of a drive from Rosslare. I think it took us over an hour. Very nice place though
That looks a good trip would like to follow that route . Thanks for your interesting posts.
Yeah, it seems that everyone forgets Ireland and go to Scotland or France. A beautiful place and lovely friendly people.
Excellent video, looking forward to the next one as fancy doing he same trip in our MH!
You should definitely go to Ireland. A beautiful place, lovely friendly people. A country in Europe where you drive on the left. We need to go back
Thanks for the map heads up! Looks a fab trip, going to be doing it also soon 👍😉
That's great. You'll love it if the rain holds off.
I've added a link to the route map book in the video description
The power of amazon I’ll get it tomorrow 👌👍 I love weather of all kinds better to be out in the rain than stuck inside eh 😁 keep up the great vids watched the NC 500 yesterday 👌🍷👍 safe travels JP...
Great video - think Ireland will be going on our list. Just back from a France road trip and planning the next! Keep the videos coming!
Thanks for commenting, @campervanhygge
I have enjoyed your great video and your little fingerhand! Thanks for having paved the way for my smaller Hymer Car 372. The WWW is on my to-do-list. Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for the kind words, Camp mal. BTW you there is a ferry from Brittany to Cork. When are you thinking if going?
Well, I have been planning for years (collecting leaflets, brochures, maps obtained at Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf and CMT Stuttgart). An acquaintance living in Dublin has repeatedly urged me to visit the green island. Due to the necessity of caring for my old parents trips have been extremely limited in duration. I know that ferries from Roscoff or Cherbourg allow for convenient sailing from one EUropean country to the other :-).
Great vid, lovely scenery 😊👍
Thanks Mark. The scenery gets even better as we go further around the coast, in our upcoming videos.
Very nice video. We will maybe do the same route with Alfred (our motorhome) next year. I look forward to see your new video sir.
You should definitely go to Ireland. A beautiful place, lovely friendly people. A country in Europe where you drive on the left. We need to go back
Ireland is for next year. This summer, Scotland !!!! Let's hope the weather is fine.
Great video and we now see what you mean about the cliffs lol
Hi guys, if only I had my 3 metre selfie stick - that would have been even better
I have meet so many people from the UK visiting Ireland for the first time and most of them are astounded by the scenery and the reception that they get. Enemies we are not, welcome everybody is. Stay safe.
Totally agree. People are so friendly in Ireland. I think it's probably the weather that puts people off though
Hi guys could be worse you might live in the WILD WILD WEST lol.
Brilliant blog one of my top 5.
Really looking forward to the next episode 👍
Thanks Chas. I'd be interested to know what your other top 5 are.
@@HermanHitstheRoad 1 your Scotland tour 2 Canadian adventure 3 repair step blog 4 NASA 5 all 360 videos 👍
So that's 6 then with the last one lol👍
Thanks again, Chas. I knew you couldn't count. You may have to expand that list to the top 10 when you see the others from the Ireland tour
I'm planning a camper trip for the next weeks in Ireland and this video helped me a lot. Wish you the best!! Muchas gracias :D
That's good to hear, Santiago. That's not the only video from Ireland we made. Feel free to check out the others.
Hope you have a great time in Ireland 🇮🇪 👍👍
Cobh is pronounced ‘Cove’. Previously known as Queenstown reverting to its original name after independence.
Thanks 👍👍
Loved that church, theres nothing like the sound of church bells, Thank you for sharing :o)
Thanks for commenting, @Victoria2cupsadayVlogger
Great video, fabulous introductory shot. I was a little disappointed we didn't get the 'How we get here' bit. I appreciate it was probably just a ferry bit a minute or two 'overview' would have been nice. Keep up the wonderful work, very informative, relaxed style and a pleasure to watch.
Thanks Richard. There's not much to see or do on a ferry and I'd rather jump to the good stuff and keep the video short and interesting but I'll note your comment for next time.
Looking good. The WAW is on our list to do. We subscribed a while back as we enjoy your adventures
Thanks Campervan Tales. When do you think you'll do the WAW?
@@HermanHitstheRoad probably next year. We were going to do the Causeway Coastal route in Northern Ireland in September but we couldn't get enough time off work. So fingers crossed we will get a month next year to do both routes over a month
Oh nice one. We did the Causeway last year. Did you see our video? Btw the Causeway is free. Entering the NT building isn't
@@HermanHitstheRoad yep we watched and that's what made our minds up to visit. Have a good weekend at your event. Sadly we can't make it. We have Off Grid 2020 next year to look forward to, if you can make that you would be more than welcome.
Cobh (Cove)..nevermind...I should've waited a few mins.. 😁. Thanks for visiting my Island
Hehe 😊 thanks Mattú. We'd love to go back. Wonderful place 👍👍
Hi Adam (& Zoe), Your videos are great, not too long (although I've happily watched the full Monty or your directors cuts whilst in lockdown) and very informative. Not necessarily looking for pictures of a ferry, perhaps a short overview of route, what was good, what was bad, recommend a cabin, or not, eat before boarding or on board that type of stuff. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Richard. I'll consider the ideas next time 👍👍👍🚙🚙
For your information the bell ringing would be the Angelus, which is rung daily at 06h00, midday and 18h00, a tradition from years ago to let people working in the fields what time of the day it was and workers used to down their tools at the strike of the bells at those times of the day to say prayers.
Thanks. That's interesting. Didn't know that.
Hi from NZ. Love your video look forward to the rest of your trip of Ireland seems a beautiful country. We like your MH Herman, looks like you have good floor space, is your bed a drop down bed? Lovely spots to park up by the sea, You call it Wild Camping we call it Freedom Camping.
Hi Karynn, thanks for commenting. Yes, we have a drop down bed above the driving area. We (the UK) incorrectly call it "Wild camping". Wild camping is actually using a tent in the countryside normally remote. Motorhomers have used this term for over-night parking or Boondocking (USA & Canada)
Hiya, Cobh is pronounced Cove. The bell of St Colmans is ringing for the eveming Angelus at 6pm. The bells are interesting - Laurel & Hardy came to visit Ireland in the 1950s. As the ship approached the Cobh harbour wall, the bells rang out the their theme music, The Cuckoo Song.
Cobh is a lovely town & we go there quite often. There is a lot of very interesting history connected with that town - Titanic, Lusitania graveyard, Spike Island + many other things.
Thanks Colman, that's interesting. Soon after visiting we watched the new Laurel & Hardy movie of when they visited. It's a shame we didn't stay longer. Very nice place.
@@HermanHitstheRoad I still haven't seen that movie, but enjoy the original black and white stuff from the two lads.
Great video Ads. You’re whetting our appetite for a trip to Ireland. Looking forward to Hermanfest too of course.
By the way, did you know that Kinsale is twinned with Far Kinnell?
Hi F70100, yes we're look forward to Hermanfest too but it might be raining :-(
Where's Far Kinnal?
How could you visit Cobh & not visit the Heritage Centre? It is fascinating. The Queenstown Story tells the story of the Irish emigrants who left for the Colonies & the West Indies in the 17th Century, the early emigrants to Canada & the US, the Great Famine & the transportation of convicts to Australia. You learn all about the maritime history - the hardship & the heartbreak, also about the connection between Cobh & the Titanic (Cobh was the last town visited by the Titanic before it sank) & of the sinking of the Lusitania. Fascinating museum - would highly recommend it.
Thanks Ann. It sounds interesting. I think it was closed when we went to Cobh. It was late
Fun fact Cobh was actually the last port of call for the Titanic before it sank.
Yes, there is a museum there too
This is the start of our tour of the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland we hope you enjoy this video as much as we enjoyed the tour. Trying to get fancy with the introduction as well to kind of spice it up a bit
You were right beside the oldest lighthouse in the world and didn't go in!!!!!Says everything!!
We had a look round but didnt go on the tour. It's the second oldest in the world but I get your point. Maybe next time
I like your video.where did you get the car from?
What car?

Hi Jane, I brought them off of Amazon. You can see them in our Amazon store front. Click the following link and then then go to "Maps and More"

Cobh, pronounced "cove" as in a sheltered bay.
Thanks for commenting, @PaulSheils
Great video, I loved the editing! I hope you had a good time. We just got back from traveling around Europe and studying abroad in Dublin, Ireland. We've been documenting our travel adventures & would love it if you could check it out!
Thanks for commenting, @ChasingWanderlust
It’s the WILD Atlantic way not WEST
Thanks Mags, we realised our mistake early on in the video and correct ourselves throughout. I get the impression you missed this part before commenting. Did you watch the whole video, it is a good one and would be a shame if you missed it? I'm know for getting place wrong or miss-pronounced 🚐👍😆
The old term by Hook or by Crook originated in this very location.
Thanks for commenting, @tommartin7333
Watch your backs and never relax too much when here, be warned!
Hi Saneman, you should watch out where ever you are but is there something or some where in particular you mean?
Travelling a little more West and a Little North is actually Travelling North West
Hmm but not at the same time 😉
I think when the Irish Tourist Board see this they'll just change the name.....
LOL. What, just to annoy me or because it's a better name?
@@HermanHitstheRoad 🤣
17:55 that hand looks so fake
LOL. That was someone elses hand
Cobh is pronounced Cove.
Thanks Mr pea. If you keep watching we do find out and start calling it Cove 👍
The 100 years may be , liberation from Britain, just a thought.
