This was really special. The road time and excellent commentary were captivating, as always. The video of the grey seal was a special addition. Something that I keep forgetting to mention is the drone and video transitions which are absolutely professional in every way. I love the music and video combinations. The drone footage is really well done and the brief cutaways to road riding and back to drone are spectacular. Well done my friends! This Ireland trip has been so good.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Jim! We really appreciate your comment, this episode was a special one for us too. Seeing nature and animals in their natural habitat is always a highlight for us. Thanks also for appreciating the Montage sections -they actually take the most time to find the right song and then arrange the footage to the music. The heading West Tour was a wonderful experience and the UK and Ireland really surprised us. Catch you in the next one 😎👍

[@brianfarrelly7151]

I hate signing off on your final Irish video. You’ve done us proud with your excellent photography and enthusiastic commentary. Your series will encourage other bikers to follow your route and support the local economy. I just hope that they have time to sample more local eateries than you - pubs do great food and the WAW has helped that sector to grow. Thanks again.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Brian, yeah the Ireland stage of this tour is over too soon! So happy to hear we showed Ireland off in a good way. Yeah we hope it does inspire people to come and explore Ireland and support the locals. Most people don't tour at our pace so will for sure stop for breakfast lunch and dinner 😉 -for us we need to make the most of the time we have and find restaurants take up too much time ...they are also usually closed by the time we arrive at our destination 😂 Thanks again for watching and if you know anyone that would also enjoy the series feel free to share it 😊 Hope you enjoy the next stage of the tour ....Scotland 👍

[@paulmcconnell8453]

We're relatively local and my wife and I took our bikes round same part of coast road a few weeks ago. Have to agree with your feelings of disgust at NT pricing. We had a similar experience, a few miles on from the causeway, at Carrick-a Rede rope bridge which we hadn't visited since admittance was free, many years ago. Anyway great video guys and glad you got such fantastic weather.

Hi, yeah things like that have got expensive -don’t mind paying for upkeep etc but there’s only a path 😁. Beautiful area though and the coastline is spectacular!

Great video, the causeway is a bit of a trek alright. As you said the story goes that the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn MacCool), from the Fenian Cycle of Gaelic mythology, was challenged to a fight by the Scottish giant Benandonner. Fionn accepted the challenge and built the causeway across the North Channel so that the two could meet. That seal footage was awesome. The drone shots are so good.

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks! Love the story of the causeway and thanks for confirming the story 😊 The Seal was amazing and he really put on a good show, there's something incredibly fascinating seeing animals in their natural habitat. Thanks for watching and we appreciate your comment 😎👍

It was a grey seal, they can get very large. I live beside Cushendall, i notice you went down the Antrim Coast Road, perhaps you went through Cushendall to get onto the coast road. I also noticed that you took the turn off from the coast road to get to the motorway that goes to Belfast. That's the way I always go and few people seem to know about it. Really good video, well done.

Greetings from N.I. Great to see the sea lion. It's a shame this despicable organisation gets away with the charges, they have been through the courts recently and fined . It is a public right of way 24/7 and glad you done it . This is our fav rat run so we are privilege to have it. We were past your door in June on our way home from Italy.

[@timcully4706]

Great to see this part of your Irish tour, I'm blessed to have the Antrim coastal road on my doorstep, which I ride often, and although you were very much pressed for time, heading off the coastal road, into the Glens of Antrim, is very good biking roads, I normally do a loop of Coast and Glens, maybe another time, you will return. Before the building of the visitors centre, it was free, just a small wooden hut, where you could buy gifts etc. There are free ways to see the Causeway, as mentioned by others, Also Family tickets are around £42, and 1 parent family ticket is approximately £22, both of which will get you into the visitor centre and all the audiovisuals, and more importantly the gift shop for Emily lol. I always tell my guests, how to save on the expense, if all they want to see are the rocks etc. Anyway, great video as always, happy to see my local roads on camera with you guys, evening is the best time, very little cars etc, as it is a nightmare at times during the day. Not sure if you noticed the Maidens, out in the sea, just as you turned off the road to head to Belfast, they are 2 rocks, one was the old lighthouse, the other has the newer lighthouse, The old lighthouse has a large colony of seals on it, which I see when out fishing, great to see so many of them and their pups at breeding time. Thanks gain for the videos, highly entertaining, great craic and beautifully filmed, I'll look forward to Scotland now :)

The little coastal village you were passing through at 25.19 (time) was I think, Carnlough. The harbour that you passed was the setting for a Game of Thrones scene. It was the fictional town of Braavos in GoT. A lot of the Antrim coastline was used for filming.

A brilliant concluding video of your time in Northern Ireland. I found your footage quite surreal, as I live in Carrickfergus at the start (or end!) of the Coastal Route, but your journey simply reminds me how fortunate it is, to have this road in my own 'backyard'! As always, you've captured the scenery superbly and that sea lion performed impeccably! Sorry about the extortionate costs at the Giants Causeway......it is a rip-off, influenced by the cruise ships that call into Belfast and the associated passengers that book coach tours to visit the North Coast. Nevertheless, thanks again for a superb vlog and I wish you both continued safe travels.

[@SeanandEmily]

Yeah must be great to have all those routes so close to you! Really glad you have enjoyed following our journey through Ireland and it has been a great experience for us too! The Seal (as we realised when we got back to the Hotel and numerous people have informed us lol) was awesome and put on a great show, a real highlight of the day! It wasn't too bad really as we parked elsewhere, but for a family to go it's ridiculous -still must a good money maker for the area. The next part of this series will be Scotland!

[@stephenblair5236]

Locals tip, but not so good if you're pushed for time.. Free car parking in Port ballintrae, to the west of the causeway. Drop down onto Runkerry beach and follow the clifftop path which is stunning in good weather and brings you to the causeway, emerging behind the hotel. Drop down into the main bowl of the causeway and tbh that's as far as you need to go to see the best parts. If you're up for it walk on past that and take one of 2 paths up to the cliff top above the causeway and make your way back to the visitor centre from there. Stunning views again but not good unless you've decent footwear, not motorcycle boots!

[@SeanandEmily]

Great tip!! hopefully people read this and they can do it like this. As you say we are often pressed for time, but we would have loved to have done the walk along the coast 😊

Yeah it should be free at least for local people that want to enjoy there coastline, we have no problem with them making a few quid to maintain the walkways but it is a bit steep! When we arrived it really appears like you need to pay and then later we realised that as you say it is a right of way path.

When we used to visit the cliffs of Moher and the Giant's Causeway it cost nothing. We parked nearby and walked because they're natural phenomena and just there. Then someone had the idea of charging to park. Now I think it's too expensive.

Thanks for asking! We prefer to avoid … the added uncertainty and extra cleaning fees that often come with Airbnbs, especially since we usually only stay one night during our motorcycle trips and usually find accommodation an hour or less before we need it .

Such a shame they abuse natural sites like the Cliffs of Moher & Giants Causeway by charging extortionate fees to see park and see the attraction, they'd still make money if they charged £2/car to park but £15 each is absolutely absurd. Nice coastal route and lovely sunset at the end

It's funny that you think prices of attractions in the UK are so expensive, but you live in Switzerland! I was in interlaken last year and the Jungfrau railway trip was £100 each!. The UK is cheap compared to Europe.

[@SeanandEmily]

The Jungfrau experience takes you to a height of 3,454 metres via a gondola and a train tunnel that took 16 years to build through the Eiger mountain, the expense to maintain a facility like this in the extreme conditions is huge, summiting this peak is not really comparable to the costs of a walking path to a natural formation. Obviously we can't speak for your experiences but having travelled to every country in Europe in the last few years we can assure you the UK is in no way cheap compared to Europe. For example on our way to Calais we stayed in a couple of hotels each costing 40euro - there was almost no options like this during this trip. This 4 week trip to the UK and Ireland cost us the same if not more that than when we toured Norway and the Baltics.

I live 40 minutes away from the causeway and I've never been

[@SeanandEmily]

Get yourself down there 😉 -maybe in the evening when they don't charge and there's not so many people, also probably nice on a crisp Winters day 😎👍

[@akepettersson4847]

So where , at 10.30 , do I find these in Iceland ? Asking for a friend 🤭🙄

[@SeanandEmily]

Hey Ake! I think there are multiple places but tell your friend Reynisfjara Beach is a good example 😎👍

[@akepettersson4847]

@@SeanandEmily Thank’s , sadly we’re on the northwest part of Iceland now 🤷‍♂️

[@Joseph13163]

it was a grey seal ,they are no native seal lions around these islands.The difference is sea lions have visible ears and can fold there back flippers and walk on land whereas true seals can't they can only move on land by hauling themselves forward with there forward flippers.Many people get that wrong .

Yes we realised that when we looked it up (see text in the description 😉) Hope you enjoyed the video

It is Giant's causeway not because of the size but because of the story of giants related to this place. And they should change the name to "Giant Cost, why?" Didn't you go to the suspension bridge in Carrick-a-Rede?

[@SeanandEmily]

Yes we know…..it was a joke and go onto tell the story of the giants.

[@pyotrpyotrovitch]

@@SeanandEmilythat yarn about competing giants is not a genuine legend either: it is a bit of Victorian hokum, probably invented in the 19th century when tourism was becoming a thing. The original name for the stones translated from the Irish means “the stepping stones of the Fomorians” who actually do exist in mythology as an ancient race of pirates. No mention of giants anywhere. I agree that the National Trust are really milking it, and many people have paid them lots of money when they didn’t have to. Also the place is so hyped up by tour operators that visitors are somewhat underwhelmed when they actually get there. Dr Johnson was probably right.

[@SeanandEmily]

Will have to have a read, “the stepping stones of the Fomorians” does sound more authentic 👍Thanks for the Info

@@pyotrpyotrovitchThere's a place in Israel, in the Golan Heights, in one of the streams flows to the Jordan River, that has the same formations. It is celled the Hexagons pool. A nice place to hike to in early summer.

@@creativesolution3 very interesting. But the Golan Heights is Syria.

The Causeway is an absolute rip off for what it is, a few small rocks on the sea front. Agree with you that it is disgusting with ita set up. The North coast is a spectacular ride on a good sunny day, lucky ti have it on my doorstep.

[@SeanandEmily]

Yeah it's a shame places like this become corporate but I guess it brings a good income in for the area. Yeah we really enjoyed the North Coastal ride and it was the perfect way to end this tour of Ireland. Yeah for sure you are lucky to have all these routes on your doorstep, not that we had bad weather but it's great to be able to have a sunny day and say right I'm going to ride this road today without having to plan it 😎👍

[@aodhfinn]

Interesting place if your a geologist....

[@SeanandEmily]

Lol I don't think there are credentials for it to be interesting 😉

[@aodhfinn]

@@SeanandEmily yes ...but it's a little bit .....over rated ?

[@SeanandEmily]

We enjoyed them, fascinating to see for the first time and as we were passing by, why not 😊 (although we enjoyed seeing the seal the most lol)

Great idea, unfortunately not staying in Bushmills otherwise we would have done for sure! -would have been a shame to do the tour without sampling the goods! 😉

The Giant's Causeway car park prices are an infamous ripoff by the National Trust.

[@SeanandEmily]

Indeed they are! Great tip from another viewer was to drop your passengers off before parking 😉

[@jetrex1986]

If you in a car --------- driver can park for £15.50 and everyone one else just get out and walk before you enter the Car Park.

[@SeanandEmily]

Brilliant!! 👏👏👏

[@littlejoe8359]

Dr Johnson said about the Giants Causeway worth seeing but not worth going to see

[@SeanandEmily]

Good quote, totally worth seeing as we were passing by but of course we would make the journey especially. Did enjoy out time there though!

[@tomjohnston1220]

Not a sea lion, we don't have them here.

[@SeanandEmily]

Check the video description 😂😂

[@Snags-sy8is]

You can just walk through for free. Never paid once.

[@SeanandEmily]

Yes we said that. For parking it’s 15.50 per person and if you want to go into the visitors centre.

[@glenirland]

It's not a giant causeway,it's the Giants Causeway,IE belonging to the giant

[@SeanandEmily]

@@glenirland IT WAS A JOKE!!!! 🤣😂🤣

[@TheMakersRage]

Charging people 15 pounds to see a natural phenomenon is kinda sketchy. Where's that money even going?

[@SeanandEmily]

Well we realized afterwards there is no charge to get access to the causeway, although you have to pay a lot to park. Also if you don't pay there is no entrance to the café and gift shop which is just silly.

Robbing people for god's work😮
