  • We are the Wild Atlantic Way in our 25 year old classic motorhome called Herman. In this video, we visit Dunguaire Castle, see where the first transatlantic plane crash landed in the grounds of the first commercial steam powered transatlantic wireless station & we scare ourselves silly on the narrow but beautiful Sky Road.
    We used the following maps

    Best line in this episode Wow that is not what I expected ....That is very nice. Did you order expecting it not to be nice He he .
    Hoping to do Ireland one day..... I mean one month as I think that would be minimum time needed.

      @HermanHitstheRoad  Před 8 měsíci

      Haha well, it was sweet and creamy, @Martin37vg 🤣
      Ireland has to be done. We've now visited Ireland three times now for two weeks holidays (2wks Northern Ireland and 4wks Ireland). So maybe a month isn't enough?

    Guy's you should have taken some Peat home. It gives off some great heat and last's a long time. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, enjoy and enjoy the rest of the journey.

      I'm not sure how I'd had used the peat to heat our home though 🤣🤣

    Hi guys, we are hoping to go next year. Just to follow a previous question, your map book looks a lot more detailed than mine. Could you tell me which one it is and maybe where I can get one. Also, what is the average price of diesel. If you are lucky you might be able to get my favourite food in my homeland. Corn ribs, boiled with spuds and cabbage. To die for but so hard to find in a pub or restaurant. Enjoy yourselves.

    • @HermanHitstheRoad
      @HermanHitstheRoad  Před 8 měsíci

      Hi @paddy4799, we mostly used the Wild Atlantic Way Route Atlas - Xploreit. You can buy it from Amazon using this link amzn.to/46JWAHU
      If I remember correctly diesel was around €1.70-€1.80 per litre and it seemed to get more expensive the further west we went.
      I hope that helps?

    Thanks for that Ads. I have the hero 5 and not overly impressed with it. Maybe will checkout DJI and other versions.

      Well, DJI and Gopro both have sales on at the moment. And the DJI Pocket 3 has just come out too. A tad expensive though

    Hi guys. Great vlog as always. Just wanted to know what action camera you use other than your DJI pocket?

    • @HermanHitstheRoad
      @HermanHitstheRoad  Před 8 měsíci

      Thanks Tony 👍👍.
      Along with the DJI Pocket 2 I also use three GoPros. A Hero 3+ to film us driving; a Hero 6 to film the road and a Hero 8 for wet days. I won't be buying another because they are so unreliable. The only benefit I get from them is that I have a GoPro remote which I use to record while driving so the two cameras record at the same time.
