I have come to the conclusion, you are only interested in cheap stuff, charity shops and Poundland things. and the price of Chinese food and kebabs. This is how you come across. maybe you should start a shopping channel. !!!
wow how well you know us what does every one else think about andy’s comment 😂😂😂
My reply bull 💩💩💩
Great vlog again, hi chicco ❤
You know what to do !
So what ? Scroll on by, these three cheer me up.
Excellent as always. I'm a biker, so a bit about the amazing Dunlop family, Joey and Robert were brothers, both killed racing. Robert had three sons, Daniel, William and Michael. William was killed racing, but Michael races on. It was an honour for me to be at the TT races this year to see Michael break his Uncle Joeys record of TT wins. Very emotional and so fantastic to witness it!
@@dongraham1559 amazing family and story
micheal Dunlop on the memorial is still racing and broke his Uncle Joey’s record this year at IOM TT, Joey did a lot for charity.
And thanks for showing the memorial.
@@krystsource8473 argh thats amazing to know xxx
@@NorthernersonTourthere is a similar memorial in Isle of Man . Xxxx
welcome to our corner of the UK we are very proud of Our small wee Northern Ireland
Thanks for sharing nothing wrong going to Charity Shops and finding your bargains. Lovely down to earth couple
@@suefoster6574 thanks sue
We lived in Northern Ireland for 11 yrs, just after the first really bad Drumcree protest. I loved living there, we lived in a place called Carlough, which has beautiful harbour. The village also gave you access to the Ulster way with a walk up by the quarry, and of course Cranny Falls a must. If you haven’t been there yet, although these recordings are weeks and weeks back. Still worth a visit, maybe next time.
The whole of County Antrim from Belfast, the Port of Larne all the way up through Glenarm, Carnlough, Cushendall, Cushedunn and Torr Head is particularly beautiful with clear views across the North Channel to The Mull of Kintyre.
We enjoyed our time In Antrim. The main shopping town of Ballymena and Larne were always a nice place to go and within 20-30 mins drive, plus the beautiful walks in the hills of the county. It’s a fantastic place to visit and I miss it.
We moved there at a time when the communities were quite divided, we chose to live in the mixed community of Carnlogh (Catholic & Protestant) and as a gay couple never really faced discrimination.
To anyone who visits Ireland you must visit the coast of Antrim, along with Kerry, Cliffs of Moher, Sliabh Liag (Sleeve league), these coastal areas of Ireland are quite simply breathtaking and every one should see at least once.
Conflicting stories about Robert the Bruce and the spider, several places have claimed it happened elsewhere ( if at all) A couple of things you missed though. Marconi did his radio transmission experiments between Ballycastle and Rathin and more recently ( well 30 years ago now) Richard Branson crashed his hit air balloon near Rathlin and to show his appreciation he donated a Rib ( Rigid Inflatable Boat) to the Islanders. Unfortunately it fell into disrepair over time but then was bought and restored to its former glory and is now based on Carrickfergus. Bushmills Distillery that you mentioned is the oldest whiskey distillery in the world dating back to 1608.
The sea you were looking out over is the Atlantic Ocean and it proved to cause the demise of the Spanish Armada. Many shipwrecks from them lie on the seabed from there and on around the Donegal coastline. The Girona treasure was discovered on one of the wrecks and is now on display at the Ulster Museum in Belfast. Michael Dunlop will bd surprised you have amnounced his death, particularly as he has just broken his uncle Joey's wins record at the Isle of Man TT Races in June this year. Love watching your vlogs of your N Ireland tour.
What a lovely couple you are , could listen to you for hours, greetings from Colombia, enjoy your travels life is short.
@@robertmiur2388 greetings robert xxxx
There is an exact replica of Joey Dunlop on the Isle of Man. Michael Dunlop was the son that raced two days later in honour of his dad Robert. Michael is still alive and still racing, a TT legend.
@@jrtfan5463 what a legend of a family xxx
I love how respectful and appreciative of the towns that you visit. Very kind .
Always!
Loved it beautiful northern Ireland ❤
@@PaulDellow thank you loads more to come
WELCOME to N. Ireland!!!! It is lovely to have you here. So many people refer to themselves as UK van-lifers yet they never come here which is part of the UK. Give cutie-pie Chicca a big kiss and a hug from me. Thank you xx
@@sharons6891 we are honoured to be here
Hi Lisa and Mark. The body warmer was a great bargain and a nice colour too. The food looked nice and good value. The memorial garden was so nice to see, yet so sad that a family had lost so many. Aww Chicco looks so cute in his vest. Oh dear lol Mark does tempt fate . Lol go Lisa to the charity shops, i love them. Great video, thank you, take care x
@@susangreen9127 thank you suusan xxx
evening. glad you enjoyed your visit to northern ireland. 👍
@@markhitachi loved it willl be back before we leave xx
Love watching you tell them they dont have to watch it,but we love it keep it up and Mark you keep eating your Chinese,Lisa you keep doing your thing with charity shops just ignore the ignorant people ❤
@@jangrant3228 thanks guys xx
Joey Dunlop was one of Northern Ireland's MOST famous sports persons. And he was a true gentleman.
You two are so much fun and thank you for visiting our little island. Here is a little rhyme that links the Bally towns together: If you weren't so Ballymena with your Ballymoney you could buy a Ballycastle for your Ballyholme.
Thanks for sharing!! love it
Love charity shops even on holiday and do check them out.
Love Northern Ireland it is soo friendly I found
You two are Great, keep doing what you are doing and love to little Chicco, Cutie Pie. 🐕❤😊 xx
Thank you! Will do!
Joey Dunlops widow has a pub not far from the garden.Joeys bike is on the wall.love your channel.love from Bangor Northern Ireland. Xxx😀
thank you carol shame we missed that
Thank you for showing the joey Dunlop Memorial. I met him in the I.O.M TT races 1984 awards he was a very gental, unassuming, lovely man . Xx
No problem!❤️❤️
Keep being who you are, you’re both so lovely and I love your trips to the charity shops. ❤️
@@gillianspedding4910 thank you gillian
Fish and chips in Northern Ireland don’t compare with English and Scottish ones! We always look forward to having them when we go across the sea. They are so good over there 😊.
Welcome, head over to Donegal, you will love it. Take a drive down the Wild Atlantic Way. Beautiful.
The tree you mentioned at the lookout point where they built the wall around it, it’s a lone tree & considered very bad luck to knock it down. That & disturbing fairy fortes. Enjoy our lovely Ireland 🤗
wow thanks for that info love it ❤❤❤
Love it as usual keep it up guys the tribute statues to the Dunlop family gave me goosebumps as I'm a biker myself
@@barrygoodwin7378 thanks barry xxx
I have no interest in camper vans, cheap stuff, charity shops, Chinese food or kebabs. But I think you both are hilarious and so fun to watch! Maybe you should start a comedy channel? ;) xx
Fair enough! but glad your enjoying our channels xx
@@NorthernersonTour Please don't take it the wrong way, but you both remind me of classic Coronation Street couples, like Stan and Hilda, Jack and Vera. You have really great comic timing together, which is just great to watch.
Love this video of Ballycastle guys. ❤ Have an urge to drive there tomorrow now, love the beach.
Just watched the video before this one. St Patrick’s Parish is my place of worship. So well kept. The Old School House was derelict for many years and is now used for mental health groups and much more. After Sunday morning service parishioners meet there for coffee. You’ll have to revisit as theres a spectacular Quiet Garden tucked in behind the Parish Hall. Glad you loved our wee toon.
Also. I hope you made it to Joeys bar just down from the memorial garden.
Ahh that was lovely that you gave this person much respect , my son is a biker and would love to go , so I sent him your video and he was very impressed how well you let everyone know about it . Good for you ❤
after reading about him he totally deserves it ❤❤
You are so entertaining to watch love you both keep it up ❤
We have them in parks in Glasgow too it is to get people out and do exercise.👍🏴🇬🇧😊
Loved again this blog what a beautiful memorial garden food looked good .loved seen checco running round with mark.🐕🚍
Glad you enjoyed it
Did you know a few more steps past that little church beside the Dunlop Memorials is the railway station where Joeys bar is (Full of Joey Dunlop memorabilia and owned /ran by the Dunlop family).....Dont miss the Glens of Antrim around the small towns of Cushendun, Cushendall and the beautiful seaside village of Carnlough.....There are 2 absolute must see`s on the North coast in Murlough Bay with gorgeous views and Balintoy Harbour, just before the village of Ballintoy....at the harbour in Ballintoy park beside the tea room and walk down half way along the harbour wall then climb up onto the green area/rocks out to the point and you will see views you will never forget left and right and before you leave Ballintoy harbour walk around to the left past the little cottage and over a wooden style (short walk) to explore a beautiful part of the coast including Elephant rock (A huge rock the shape of an elephant).....enjoy the rest of you`re trip.
wish we had seen this before leaving north ireland ❤
Another great place in Ireland, yes, that bodywarmer suits Mark 👌 greener than the fields of Ireland 😊
@@simplyandrew7063 it is so bright xx
Gutted I missed you in ballycastle! I only discovered your channel recently and we have a mobile and an apartment up there! There's two charity shops in ballycastle nd you do get the odd wee gems in them! Highly recommend the beach bistro in causeway coast holiday park, great food and not expensive at all. Our Dollys in the town is amazing too!
So thankful of you to let us see how lovely Ballycastle is! It's worth a trip to NI alone. You popped up on my suggested videos a few weeks ago (I like travel). I thought I'd give you both a go, and I'm now hooked! xx
Glad you enjoyed it! and welcome to the channel xxx
Well done for promoting n.i guys great video
Thank you so much for showing off our local towns and what they have to offer!😀❤
Hi Lisa & mark use both should come back to Scotland and go to Isle of Skye it’s beautiful there’s loads to explore like the fairy pools, and check out the dinosaur footprints on the beach it’s gorgeous there 😊
Giants Causeway is a free visitor attraction, you need to pay to park but you can get a bus from Bushmills...
Payment is required to enter the visitors centre...the glens of Antrim are worth a visit, motorhome park at Glenarm marina. Fabulous videos!!!
thanks for the info❤
Lisa you need to go to newcastle co down beautiful beach and mountain views .
@@annfinnegan2791 yes we have heard about this place
Great to see you folks visiting my native Northern Ireland. Please make sure you call at Castlerock and the beaches on the Londonderry coast.
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the tip!

Our Northern Ireland bank notes are pound sterling same value as the English pound.

@@catherinenorman5354 ❤️❤️🐕
Ballycastle beach is worth seeing.
Love watching your vids you both make everything seem calm and interesting 👍
I ride bikes so really enjoyed the Dunlop memorial, I live just down the road but never been to see it.
Charity shops are only a small part of your videos whats he talking about. You tell us bits about everywhere you go, history and interesting facts. You keep doing you 😊
Thanks for that
Scarborough is Oliver's Mount
If you walk through the visitor reception you have to pay, but on up theres a gate thats free to walk through 😊 its free to access the giants causeway.
Great blog Mark & Lisa such a beautiful place. I’ve never been to Ireland it’s on our list of places to go. What an amazing memorial & mural xx
It really is!
You two absolutely crease me 😂😂loving the hat Lisa, it suits you 😊
❤❤
The Chico cam always has me in stitches, with his Hawaii shirt lol bless him he is so cute 😊 thanks for a great video, very interesting seeing the Dunlop memorial too. You two are hilarious thanks for the laughs 😂

Fantastic memorial garden. Made me chuckle Mark saying he is athletic !!
@@hazelwade-oq2zc 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤣❤️👍🏻
love your vlog lisa and mark
Great vlog guys really enjoyed your visit to bellimoney ❤ Chris/ Jan
your welcome xx
Micheal dunlop is still alive and racing he's on the murals in the town centre also he's the youngest of Roberts sons who's just recently over took his uncle joeys record for most wins at the isle of man TT only fitting it was a member of the dunlop family 😊
Great video Mark and Lisa! Loved Chicco in his hawaiian shirt 🥰 My parents would love to retrace your route in Ireland in their campervan next year - it would be really useful if you considered adding the town into the title of your videos to help viewers go back and reference locations more easily, for example when looking for restaurant recommendations in a certain location.
they will al be in a playlist at the end of the tour xxxx
Hiya guys. Great vlog again. The place in Scarborough where they race bikes is Oliver’s mount. I absolutely loved mark doing his workout on the outdoor equipment….it was just like watching muscle beach hahahaha. Safe travels xx
thanks sarah xxxx
I spotted you two at the ice cream van in Ballycastle.
You should check out Holywood (pronounced Hollywood). They are very Dog Friendly, they love their dogs there.
Portrush has a dog friendly cafe. we go into when up there. enjoy the rest of your visit to our wee country
thanks for that
WOW GUYS 😅
JUST GOT HOME😂
YOU KNOW SPAIN 🇪🇸
I CAN'T believe you're here❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very sad Joey Dunlop & family, I've been to the Tourist Trophy Races, on the beautiful island that is the Isle of man xx 1985... 🇮🇲 Thankyou for showing us this lovely memorial site, r.i.p doing what they loved 🏍️ Love your vlogs guy's ❤ awwww Chicco's summer shirt, bless him, love it... & What a bargain your body warmer Mark..

Great video. I love looking round charity shops. Very interesting video and fantastic views on the coast. 👍
Glad you enjoyed
Hi Lisa and mark another brilliant vlog love watching your videos thanks for sharing ❤❤
Thanks so much 😊
Bush Mills distillery 1608 oldest distillery in the UK
They've a great chippy in Ballymoney.
Guys if you going to giants causeway. There is a carpark just before you get to the causeway carpark, it's alot cheaper and you can walk to the causeway without having to pay extortionate prices. Just follow the path 😊
Ahhhhh look at that!!!!! I knew it was going to be breathtaking 😍
❤❤❤❤
What a lovely place to look around and the view over the sea looks amazing. Not sure if I would be going over that swing bridge it looks a very long way down over the sea.
Glad you enjoyed it
My folks came from Ballyclare and Ballylinney, various parts of Antrim, Portadown and Tyrone. Hoping you maybe pop through one of those.
The boat trip is amazing!! I did it a few years ago. Unreal experience
so gutted we couldn’t go❤
Hi guys, fantastic video, brings back lots of memories for me. As you know I am originally from Belfast, been away over on the mainland 35+ years, but every place you where, I have been as a kid with mum and dad, Lisa, I would of been in every charity shop with you 😂 Mark that body warmer was an absolute steel 😊 and that wee shirt on checo was soooo cute ❤ I was sat in stranraer today, in the same spot you stayed overnight, I was having a Butty and a Costa coffee 🥤🥪 keep up the good work xx
Our pleasure! glad we can bring back some memories xx
@NorthernersonTour Thanks LISA 😘, i knew mark wouldn't give me xx 🤣🤣
Yes you can park up at that last picnic area near the rope bridges. Not loud at all at night. We stay there every time we go on the NI coastal road.
thanks for that tip xx
Great Video you make me laugh so much when talk the charity shops and all that food you put away, We have one of those park exercise gyms i have to get on it, Im fast getting to Marks size already, The biker memorial was something else , He must of done a lot for the local community to get that recognition , Merci
Glad you enjoyed
Balintoy is worth a visit . Very tight though for camper vans so would park at church and walk down . They are working at the car park down at the harbour so hardly any spaces . 👌
I have been to the joey Dunlop memorial .Its worth seeing. And the pub on railway station has one of his bikes on display with some of his leathers . X
wow missed that
Wow thanks guys, being someone that regularly visited the Isle of Man TT in the 90s I was very familiar with Joey and him claiming the most TT wins title at the time (his nephew Michael actually past that record this year) but wow, I think seeing that I now know that when I eventually pass that way I will need to call in, so Thank you it meant a lot. I also wanted to say. Being a larger gentleman over the age of 50 Regatta gear seems to fit perfectly I have several jackets and waterproof trousers and they fit perfectly (im also someone that cycles to work every day) so the bike reviews are always interesting.
❤❤❤thanks for your lovely comment ❤
Just found your channel...love it.....have youse been to Larne yet?
hi gave no we haven’t but met 2 people from there and it sounds lovely
Scarboroughs Olivers mount do bike racing every year
Beautiful tribute to joey thank you ❤

Awwwa little man that shirt bless him he looks so bloody sweet,mark what a bargain suits you.
Love that hat Lisa.
Think a visit to my friend is on the cards.
If you visit Donaghadee let me no.
She would be so happy she loves her home by the sea xxxxxxxxxx
Great vid again folks - Lisa what app do you use to find your laundry locations please?
You must try a super chip in the chip shops next time you’re over here! 😋🤤
Good idea!!
J. McMichael featured in a clip is my late uncle,s dad.
