Is Vanlife in Ireland Friendly - The Harsh truth

[@TREADtheglobe]

If you have travelled Ireland and want to add any advice - or if you have any questions that aren't covered in this video then put a comment below and then we will answer them. - thanks for watching

[@ngonigriffith8856]

You are true about the locals: they are very friendly. I went to Ireland in the 90s. Toured the Ring of Kerry and saw the tour bus go almost halfway off the cliff to make a turn. Yes, the roads are tiny, but I had one of the best times of my life. Thanks for the video! From America.

[@Cal-wj1du]

fluffyduckbutter's sister probably too late but Ring of Kerry 😍

[@Useaname]

@fluffyduckbutter's sister the cheapest place to buy right now is County Leitrim. Lots of liveable small cottages and farmhouses, even cheaper if you buy to fix up. It's near the coast, (even has a tiny coastline of a few km) near the border with the UK, has the Shannon Blueway with great rivers loughs and canals, lots of mountains and hiking trails. However it can be wet due to the bad weather coming in off the Atlantic, and with the mountains and loughs, that encourages precipitation. County Leitrim will benefit from extra government spending this year on town centre improvements, cycle paths, road upgrades, tourist advertising, other things. Hope that helps.

[@lindamoser6317]

Loved the video about Ireland. I would love to visit there. I do have a questions, I'm from the US. I understand that we drive on the opposite sides of the road from u all. Do u think it would be hard to drive there??? R the road signs pretty easily read also? Keep up the great work.

[@lindamoser6317]

@fluffyduckbutter's sister You r one lucky person!!!! Wish u the best!!!! Its my dream to go too.

I spent three days in a rural bar In Ireland. I was part of a film crew. It seemed the whole village turned out, all 37 of them. I went in with 60 quid and came out with 60 quid!

[@TREADtheglobe]

That is just one example of the fabulousness of the Irish !! They are generous and so sweet hearted !! It was a pleasure and an honour to have met so many beautiful people 💚🚐🌸🙌🌺 We will be going back without a doubt !! kind regards Marianne xx

[@sundrieddelivers]

As a Brit who’s lives in Ireland for 10 years, theirs a couple of points that might help you. Those washing machines are also in most supermarket car parks as well. You also missed out on the coastal town car parks, as they’re now being set up especially for camper vans with bins, waste disposal and water facilities. Here in Cobh (and a lot more tourist towns that I’ve found) theirs specific parking spaces especially for campers These are normally about €10 a night and are right in the tourist hotspots

[@TREADtheglobe]

Those are great tips - thank you - we will be back next summer so that is very useful - Thanks 😍👍💚

[@sundrieddelivers]

TREAD the globe I’m based down in Cobh, just off the coast from cork, and around the coast from kinsale. Give me a shout next time you come over, I’ll give you some tips on places to visit. We have a drive way you can park on and use of our facilities. I love spreading the word of how beautiful this country is, and would recommend anyone to come over and explore it.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Hi 👍 That is sooo kind - thank you very much - well we love spreading the word too !!! we absolutely have fallen in love with Ireland and will always come back !! - thank you again for your offer and if we are your way !! we will be there 😊😂🤗💚 kind regards Marianne xx

Bit biased here..am Irish living here all of my life...must categorically agree with you both..Ireland is STUNNING..and the locals are BRILLIANT. No local needs to kiss the Blarney stone. We are born pickled with the gift of the gab..yes it's a true gift. Some of us never shut up. We have the ability to laugh at ourselves..country of comedians..its all good. Glad you had such a great trip. More to see next time you return.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thank you Claire - yep we will be back!!

[@l0eh0esh]

Ohh this is so true! I went to Ireland for a week, hitchhiking, and the problem is not getting picked up, the problem is, they won't let you go! They want to buy you lunch and coffee and drive you anywhere, show you everything, tell you everything! They are amazing, I love the Irish so much! And I will definitely consider taking my van there once I have one! Thank you for this very helpful video :)

Great video. I live in Northern Ireland, quite close to the Causeway in fact. I can confirm your statement on fuel prices between the both countries. Diesel is much cheaper in the South compared to the North. Petrol is the opposite dearer in the South. I discovered this fact when I changed from diesel to petrol.

[@beachut]

Loved the vid, Me and my partner (she is originally from up in the North of Ireland) went there and Hired a motorhome from Belfast in February after doing a canal boat in England. We traveled north to Bushmills and then headed west to do the Atlantic Way all the way to the bottom and then Waterford before finishing up in Dublin to fly to the Canary Islands before flying home to Australia. We mainly parked behind pubs outside of towns which was dangerous as we got to party with some amazing locals. The narrow roads were a challenge but because it was winter we did not have much traffic to pass. Our biggest problem was if we wanted to park up at a van park, most were shut because it was off season. And most the car parks have bars at the entrance so only cars can get in. Most of our friends here thought we were crazy going that time of year but we got lucky and got home before the virus and they have had to cancel holidays. Love Ireland and the very friendly people. cheers.

[@Powerstroke98]

I watched this video, from here on the west coast of Canada, where I've lived all my life, and found it very interesting indeed. Our motorhome is 36' feet long and weighs 30,000 lbs, so it seems the small roads of Ireland wouldn't be very hospitable, as I'm generally on interstate highways for the most part, and stay in campsites with power, as we have a residential refrigerator that uses a lot of power, similar to a home, which has water & ice in the fridge as well. Many folks, live full time here in Canada and the United States in our larger motorhomes, but it's truly much different as we have a full bathroom, shower, generator, four push-outs, washer & drier on board, and many have solar panels, so it's much like having a sticks & bricks home on wheels! It can be expensive, but as you've said here, it's a lifestyle, that many millions of North Americans enjoy. I love to hear that the Irish are friendly, as even here in Canada, it's a well known statement, and generally most Canadians are very friendly as well. Thanks for the video, and I'll have to try and find more of those you've produced for sure!

[@TREADtheglobe]

We are delighted you like the videos - yep the roads in North America are perfect for bigger rigs ... and some of the roads in Ireland would / could accommodate big rigs but not the little side roads and mountain passes - just the towns and cities 👍

I love Donegal, we stayed in a cottage owned by an Irish friend's family. When we got there "Aunty Mary" brought us a big plate of home made scones which was nice but this happened every day! She came to play Queeny (card game) with us and our 3 young daughters every night, took our eldest daughter out to Bingo, looked after them and sent us to the pub for a night out. We could not have asked for a more hospitable hostess if we tried. And the beaches up there - fantastic white sandy beaches just amazing but a bit wild! I'd love to go back.

Fantastic !! What an adventure !! 💚🚐💜 best wishes Marianne xx

Glad you both had a great time...

Duncannon beach is only about 20 minutes from me. It's a lovely spot. Next time you come back, make sure to visit the Copper Coast here in Waterford if you haven't yet. Also rent some bicycles if you don't have any and cycle the Déise Greenway here. It's very scenic. If you need any other spots, just let me know. I've drove from tip to tip many times.

[@TREADtheglobe]

That is so helpful - thank you again Sean - TBH Duncannon was the first time we had ever parked on a beach !! so it is really special to me - we did drive some of the Copper Coast ... but when we come back we would love to do some cycling 💚👍🚐- Thank you - Marianne and Chris xx

[@keepcreationprocess]

But how do I get my minivan into Ireland ? Can someone help with advice paperwork, directions and website or how to buy ticket 🎟️ for the boat and costs?

[@TREADtheglobe]

If you search online you will find all the info and ferry prices

[@hugostiglitz6914]

Another good tip when travelling in Ireland is to click the option on your Sat Nav to avoid motorways!

[@TREADtheglobe]

ha ha good tip LOL - Trudy is allergic to big roads 😂🤗😍🚐💚kind regards Marianne and Chris xx

[@hugostiglitz6914]

The road system in Ireland is designed to weed out the weak😂

I have just posted I couldn't find the rest of the videos you had been pointing to, after looking around I found them. Delighted I did. I am delighted you had such beautiful weather when you visited. Thank both of you for the way you promoted Ireland, I think you guys should get some recognition from the Irish tourist board, maybe they just might like to say thank you with a gift of cash are a 5 star holiday here next time you return to Ireland 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️💚💚💚

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks Pat - sorry we are on a drive in Alaska at the moment and the internet and time driving are causing me to be delayed in replying !! But yes we loved our time in Ireland and Chris created a playlist to help find the videos - I hope you are enjoying them xx Kind regards Marianne xx

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Great tips and ideas both! We did the Scotland northcoast500 back in June in a hired RV and experienced very similar things, wild camping for example! Thanks for a super video😀👍👍👍

[@TREADtheglobe]

Hi 🤗 Thanks for your comment, sounds great !!! Scotland is so wild and beautiful isn't it ? 💜 glad you liked the video 😀👍

[@PiperX1X]

Thanks for such a great video, I really enjoyed it. I soon will be a newby to the world of the motorhome and I can’t wait. So all videos of information, tips etc are all welcome. I lost my mother a few years ago and her will has been rather complicated and very much drawn out but at last it’s soon to be settled and mother bless her always knew that I dreamed of owning a motorhome and now thanks to her that dream will soon be coming true. So if you see a bloke in a motorhome with two black Labradors with a smile from ear to ear on your travels, it just could be me.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Hi Jonathan, I am sorry for your loss and send big hugs your way ..... Keep us posted and DM us on FB to let us know when you get on the road, we will be about in the summer / autumn and will be taking Trudy back to Ireland and NI - so you might see us too !! I am so happy you have found your way into the Moho world - never a dull day, and the community is a beautiful family ... keep in touch 🤗😍👍💐💚🚐 kind regards Marianne and Chris xx

[@gabrieldillon11]

Good advice on the ring of Kerry, as I am a coach driver. Btw ALL natural sites like the cliffs and causeway are free no matter what time of day you visit, although the visitors centers won't tell you this

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks Gabriel - thanks for the tips 💚🚐👍 hope you get a chance to see our videos on the journey we made 🙌😍 I have to tell you, I was driving Trudy up a very steep hill and we met a coach driver and I was grinning and pretending to pull myself up with a rope and the driver starting joining in !! we all laughed so hard and this is one of the many fun experiences that will stay with us ..... EVERYONE is amazing !! Kind regards Marianne and Chris xx 🌼💐💚

Great video! Thanks for posting! My son (23 yrs) and I (61 yrs) are planning a trip in this spring (May/June 2024). We're thinking of renting a camper van as we are already avid campers in the United States. Wondering if those wild campsites are still available 5 years after your trip. I'm seeing information that wild camping isn't allowed. Anyway, thank you so much! It was very helpful!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Sounds great! If you download park4night that is one that UK and Euorpe van / moho use to find the latest information 👍

Ah this is deadly, so so glad you both had a brilliant time in Ireland. It's what you make of it and you both certainly sound like you made the most of it rain or sunshine. Pitch your van up again soon, don't be strangers. 😁 PS you both should visit ALL the little islands on the west coast especially Donegals and Galways.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks !!! we really will be back ..... we loved every minute of every day !! we hope to get to the Islands in 2019 - but if we don't we will be back again !!! we don't think we could resist !! ha ha - totally in love ........ 💜😍😄

Woo Hoo - have a great time

I wasn't travelling by camper, but visiting family, but mentioned to my missus that not one of the supermarkets we visited in the west had a bin outside.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Ha Ha - yep they hide them in the shops !!! 😄👍💜

[@rachelleeaton6396]

Did you plan your overnight stops ahead of time or just trust you could find a pull off when you needed it? I'll be going to Ireland in June with my husband and 6 year old son, we'll be driving a rented motorhome (that has toilet, kitchen, and shower) and I'm trying to figure out how much to plan. It will be my first time in Ireland and first time traveling in a campervan, so as much as I'd like to do the wild camping thing (and not spend hours and hours painstakingly making a plan that we'll then be tied down to), I am a bit nervous about it.

[@TREADtheglobe]

The WAW was great because you just followed the signs - if you plan to leave early and park up before 2 you will find somewhere on the way - depending on the time of year it might be harder - but park4night and google will help you find a place and pubs / restaurants sometimes let you stop over if you eat … Kat from Wandering Bird is there at the moment check her out 👍🌺
