Wow. That looked bloomin freezing.Love our diesel heater. Porridge sets you up on a cold day like nothing else! Did look icy. Very atmospheric ❤️😊👍

[@getawaygeese]

It was magical mainly because we were on our own Thanks for watching

[@brianmcclure8012]

Really well done how you respected the magic of the village. I'm from N.Ireland and never heard about this place. Many thanks for helping us open our eyes!

[@getawaygeese]

Thank you for such a nice comment - we were quite touched by the place and the story of a hard life

[@janetbowen7854]

You're very brave to go campervanning in such cold temperatures, however, it does look beautiful, so well done. 😀

[@getawaygeese]

We wanted you to see how we take to a colder trip but actually we saw Ireland in a different light to - brilliant Thanks for watching

[@eamonnobrien1410]

Love watching your videos

[@getawaygeese]

Glad you like them!

[@andymorrow55]

Hahahaha you did get there. I need to watch the next episode before commenting. Love your style guys. Jut how I'd do it myself if the chance arose.

[@getawaygeese]

It was so atmospheric in the snow thanks for watching

[@Sarahmatthews167]

I think this is one of my favourite vlogs thankyou. Such an interesting visit and the editing was really clever. Loved it! Safe travels. x

[@getawaygeese]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was definitely a memorable day for us Thanks for watching

[@smiley9872]

I find, most UK people sound like they are saying "island" rather than "Ireland" to us Irish. Loved the abandoned village, no music necessary, it was wonderful.

[@getawaygeese]

We apologise we genuinely try hard to get it right Thanks for watching what was a very special place

[@smiley9872]

@@getawaygeese oh no need for apologies whatsoever!

[@GerardCorcoran-mw4gq]

Great video, we are from Ireland, and we are in france after having up to 38Degreee Heat in the Dordogne, watching your video, is making g us think of our winter to come..best make more memories here before we make for home...looking forward to next week's video..😊🥶😎

[@getawaygeese]

I know our visits are a little crazy timing but useful I guess if anyone is planning a winter trip in your beautiful country 38 is a bit to hot for us lol We’re in France tomorrow mind you

[@Neaskemenna68]

Pretty common for southern English to pronounce Ireland as Island. All my English relatives do, it's amusing 😁. Enjoying your adventure!

[@getawaygeese]

We try hard as we know in the first series we got called out so we are conscious of it but we will still screw up but not through ignorance for forgetfulness 😂 Thanks for watching

[@roaminginraymond]

Can't beat a crisp winters day. That abandoned village was really interesting and atmospheric. Why can't all winter days be cold but sunny. Love those caves too. Enjoyable video both.

[@getawaygeese]

Yep love blue sky snow and ice do we were lucky to see it for a couple of days before the 90mph winds hit us lol 😂

[@roaminginraymond]

@getawaygeese oh no, not good. Bloody hate being in wind in a van or trying to walk in it. It's horrible.

[@CampervanTales]

Finally getting around to continuing your series. Blinking heck that looked cold! Hate black ice. We slid down Hardknott Pass in our van one winter. It wasn't a nice experience.what a fascinating little village to look at. Right up our street. A harsh life but i bet they were happy. Certainly a magical time of year to visit. Sorry it has taken so long to watch.

[@getawaygeese]

No need to apologise I struggle to get everything It was icey but the village would be right up your street

[@moog37-j3b]

Ah Cool Video we were recommended to see you from LIFES TO SHORT ( Happy Couple L Britain ) haha Both Nice Channels ! Go Well !

[@getawaygeese]

They’re great friends and have a wonderful channel So welcome hope we can do half of the quality they do

[@moog37-j3b]

@@getawaygeese yes agree ! Go well both keep off the ice 🧊 🤣

[@dianabelcher39]

Thanks for the interesting video, showing us how lucky were are to be living in today!!!! all very cold looking, the abandoned village as well as the caves down by the water made me feel very cold.... anxiously looking forward to part 2....

[@getawaygeese]

Arent we just Diana ! How they lived in such conditions i have no idea. Such strong people ! Jane

[@andymorrow55]

I think the thatched cottage you were in was not an original village dwelling but one built for the TV series.

[@getawaygeese]

Ah I see it did look a lot younger I must say …..

[@MelG-ut3hs]

That abandoned village has an eery beauty to it. It does look cold but the winter weather is magical.

[@getawaygeese]

I totally agree! … it was a great memory because of the weather and the isolation we felt Thank you for watching

[@andymorrow55]

The rock of the cliffs is what is known as 'Conglomerate' a type of rockformed by the compression of boulders laid down within a matrix of much finer muddy sediments.

[@getawaygeese]

Wow thanks - it was really impressive looming above us

[@didevilliers1238]

What an evocative and sad little village, one can just imagine the people who lived there. Oh the snow and ice is beautiful but glad we can watch thru. your eyes and not have to feel its icy bite. Yes agree the wind sound was much better than innocuous music. 🦋

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks for watching… it was hard to imagine what life was like but in the snow and biting winds its must of been really tough

[@captured-by-kenny]

Great video, great editing 👍

[@getawaygeese]

Thank you! 👍 appreciate that comment

[@smaco1409]

Great Video folks. Really enjoying this series.

[@getawaygeese]

Glad to hear it! Hopefully that will continue 😂 We have a soft spot for Ireland

[@colinblack7049]

Hi Jane and Stew, its a lovely coastline there, I passed through Cushendun and cushendall, as you say, thank goodness for the night heater.

[@getawaygeese]

It’s stunning coastline as you will see - we couldn’t do without a diesel heater for sure Thanks for watching

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

Thank you for taking us around the abandoned village. It’s the sort of place I like to explore. Take care Gill

[@getawaygeese]

To be honest it’s not well advertised and it’s the power of comments in the channel through a recommendation and it was an amazing few hours all on our own Thanks for watching and commenting

[@LorraineG123]

Great episode of your tour of Ireland. Thanks for taking us along.Its definitely beautiful in the snowy weather, ye are braver than me.

[@getawaygeese]

Well we wanted to test ourselves and as you will see next week we did lol 😂 little bit of snow and it all stops 😂😂😂😂 Thanks for watching

[@rob20452]

Just subscribed thank you,i like the freezing cold get aways more cosy

[@getawaygeese]

Yes we did like the cosy feel in Harry when you have been out in the cold Thanks for watching

[@richardayres2949]

Another great video Stew and Jane. The road conditions look worse than my Scandinavian trip! Stopped,in Glenarm harbour when I sailed round the U.K. back in 2016, enjoyed stopping there.

[@getawaygeese]

I think road conditions are all about how the roads are treated - the fact there was a strike added to the challenge for certain as you will see next week Thanks for watching

[@the-other-windsors]

Abandoned dwellings do hit us emotionally. It was the same on St Kikda. You can't help but think about the people who lived there and just how hard life must have been. The Snow and ice adding to that feeling and as for driving on those roads... Boy... Well scary!! 🙄🐕🚙

[@getawaygeese]

Yes I thought of your Kilda episode when I was producing it as it’s hard to imagine what it was like Thanks for watching

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Could feel the cold as you were walking round that abandoned village. Very atmospheric. Porridge is just what you needed to set you up for the day 😋👍❤️

[@getawaygeese]

It was great few hours I have to say - the weather made the day as well as the isolation when we visited Thanks for watching

[@redparrot9489]

Greetings from an internet rando in 🇨🇦 … your cold weather antics are adorable! 💕💕💕💕

[@getawaygeese]

Hello and welcome - you will be used to snow and whereas a little dusting and it all comes to a standstill 😂 Thanks for watching

[@coling7091]

The build up to Torr Head in the winter! I'm still clearly traumatised from my last visit. Well done Jane for your Cushendun pronunciation :) And thanks for visiting Galboly village. Magic place.

[@getawaygeese]

Thank you for your comments You will see how we do next week rector head Jane works hard on pronunciation although like anywhere differing local dialects sometimes make it challenging We appreciate your comments - thank you

[@lesliegould9429]

I just discovered you and thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@getawaygeese]

Awesome! Thank you for watching and taking time to comment

[@GaryJDavies]

Enjoying the videos guys - especially useful for us as we’ve just been lucky enough to be allocated some tickets to the British Open golf at Portrush next year, and are considering taking the campervan. It all look lovely so far anyway 👍🏻 BTW that looked like a perfectly reasonable amount of honey to put on your porridge Stew - i do exactly the same 👍🏻☺️

[@getawaygeese]

lol I have a sweetness buddy 😂😂 Jane will be happy We loved every minute of our trip despite some challenges as we got close to real Ireland Enjoy your trip when it comes up

[@HermionefromAustralia001]

Fantastic! Ta for sharing!

[@getawaygeese]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

[@caramckinney-vz2vb]

Great video guys , Cushendun is pronounced cushion done. Local here😊

[@getawaygeese]

Ah Jane tries hard on pronunciation with lots of research but challenging like many dialects in a country all saying things differently Hopefully we are forgiven lol 😂 Thanks for watching

[@blakes4ontour]

Cor blimey Guv'nor! Looks cold!!!! I dread to think what you've done to Harry in part 2!!!!

[@getawaygeese]

It’s the coldest we’ve been out in so a tad fresh 😂 problem is we’re not used it We had a few challenges for sure as you will soon see Thanks for watching

[@donseclad]

What beautiful views

[@getawaygeese]

It was a fantastic hour or so it really resonated with us Thanks for watching

Great start to Ireland in the winter video but we now have to wait a week 🥲🥲to see what happens to Harry. So please to see your heaters are all working we.☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks guys - that’s the temptation of episodes lol 😂 Don’t miss it Couldn’t do this without a good diesel heater for sure

👍 yes you will see in the next few episodes when it gets worse it triggers an immediate change Thanks for watching

[@sheilarussell8852]

Great vlog so well researched. Perfect without music would have spoiled the atmosphere of the abandoned village and its history. Thanks so much. Sheila & Gavin ❤

[@getawaygeese]

Thank you we took time to decide music or not and sometimes the raw natural audio works well as such a great moment on our own in isolation Thanks for watching .

[@christinedennehy9426]

Great 👍

[@getawaygeese]

Thank you 👍

[@dougb100]

Where I live here in Canada if your caught driving in snow without snow rated tires there is a large fine!

Great video.

Hooray, first to comment 👋 Wow, that does look cold 🥶 but beautiful landscapes. I loved the sound of the crunchy snow ❄️ under foot. Oh guys, what have you done to Harry, I wait with baited breath. 👍🐸

Well done for being first lol You will see our challenged next week - cold but makes you feel alive to Thanks for watching

[@pascalennis9123]

What month was this filmed.im down in st east ,the sunniest part of ireland,i enjoyed yer vid thanks

[@getawaygeese]

This was a winter series so January to March - we lag behind due to do much footage etc lol - but may be useful if you have had enough of all the sun or planning a winter trip Thank you for watching

[@rosieG2112]

Would love it if you stated where you where at the start of the video.

[@getawaygeese]

I think we did if you mean the parkup - but it’s at Glenarm a car park next to the marina - it’s on park4night - any issues let me know

[@dtmccphotography]

My wife is shooting "Don't go up Torr Head", but too late, as you discovered, I enjoyed driving our campervan up over in mid June, making loads of black smoke from the exhust pipe and the wife "Thelma" screaming, I told you not to go up this way., it's from 3rd to 1st gear change a couple of times with right foot kept hard down.... Any way the village that you walked up to, you were on the orginal road before the coast road was made and the farmer that owns it and he is great craig, told us that the road was named main Belfast road and fiinal bit, the house with the thatched roof is the set build for Game Of Thrones, totally fake, only a few years old

[@getawaygeese]

I needed you to shout at me in January lol 😂 as you will see next week - your advice is what the barman sort of said on next weeks video who told me after we tried ‘you don’t wanna go up there ‘ I assume all the other houses are genuine - I hope so Thanks for watching

[@murtagh232]

The one with thatch was built for game of thrones I think

[@getawaygeese]

Ah wasn’t sure of the exact building - I assumed the monk lived in that one to Thanks for watching

[@Sunshine-Light]

I’m waiting for the real videos…. The wife exploding at you for burning the potatoes or trampling around in muddy boots Come on guys publish the explosive ones 😂😂😂

[@getawaygeese]

These we the real ones lol 😂 we’ll try harder to annoy each other
