We Found an EPIC SURF Beach In Ireland and Had Some Van Drama

[@towerdave4836]

Stayed at Strandhill several times at the local campsite. Terrific for sunsets!

That “just like they do it in England “ comment at 4.08 would make an Irish mammy have a heart attack . Sligo Abú🇮🇪🤝

[@gerardgorman1008]

Happy days lreland what a great country from head to toe you are welcome anytime love from the Irish people

[@MathersOnTheMap]

It was incredible! We seriously enjoyed every second of our time there! Thanks Gerard and thanks for watching! ❤️

[@TheTravellersCookeBook]

Trust you guys had a great time exploring Ireland … we were parked up next to you (silver VW) … safe travels :)

[@lurur2010]

Awesome news you got everything going. Yay!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Yes it was! Thanks for watching Lisa!

[@ciarabergin8509]

Strandhill is a great surf beach but it has really dangerous rips - there’s no lifeguard to dissuade people from swimming.

[@ChrisWilkinson1]

Taylor’s camera work on the surf footage 👌🏻

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Really was solid right?!

[@billhurley5406]

Tough last night. Hope you enjoyed a well deserved pint.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Yes we did Bill! Haha

19:02. Is that a smiley face seatbelt? 😂😂

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Hahaha just noticed that

[@jemjr1628]

@@MathersOnTheMap lol all the things I liked about this VlOG and that minute detail was what I saw lol

[@seanduggan276]

If feel your pain-it is baffling to me that there is no surfboard rental in Strandhill (the town of my people). If you are curious to hear some more stories about Irish surfing history and the West Coast. Check Keep It A Secret documentary. No streaming on KZbin.

Too late for your trip, but Waterways Ireland have free overnight parking at jettys all along the river Shannon. You can buy a card in local shops that give you access to the shower/ toilets.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

oh that sounds awesome!!! good to know for next time!

[@nigelmchugh5541]

@@MathersOnTheMap From memory, €10 card gets you 6 showers and unlimited use of the toilet. Most villages and towns along the waterways have good restaurants and multiple pubs.......

[@lurur2010]

Well at least you got recommendations for a place to eat. Poor sweeties

[@dominicdonoflio1429]

Surf looked sick!!!🤙🤙🤙 Also you trying to stay positive is hilarious 😅😅 " Moral is Low" sounds like the team black locker room lol.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

haha thanks mate! Yes it does, how did playoffs go?

[@doodsanddudes]

I feel your pain. I can’t imagine doing it on the run not knowing if you will have strong Wi-Fi. Making it happen. Have a deadline for Athens tomorrow..😊😅

I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU CAN NOT FIND A BAR IN IRELAND - Corn Flakes whiskey

[@paulsilva1708]

Portugal is better (IMHO), it’s the country many people from Ireland and the UK go for ‘holiday’ aka vacation, beach, surfing, camping and/or van-life, etc… They have Irish pubs along the southern coast where they eat, drink and ‘sing’ karaoke. Good people & Good times! Don’t forget the big waves at Nazaré, Portugal. BTW congrats! wishing you guys a safe pregnancy with a healthy baby.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

We love Portugal!! That’s actually the first place we tested out vanlife and it was incredible! Unfortunately, Nazare was really small when we visited but we would love to go back again in the future!

[@yorotirb3941]

How do you like the 3 passenger front seat? Ive allways wondered how that would work in a van. Does yours swivel around?

[@MathersOnTheMap]

It did not swivel and we aren’t really fans of it since you can just walk to the back of the van

[@towerdave4836]

What no solar panel on the van.

[@gustavohelmer6564]

Did u guys see the huge dolphin swimming right next to the surfer?

[@jml2804]

Hello, thank you very much for your videos because they make me travel. With my disability and the help I have to get, it's a little more difficult to travel, but soon it will be USA and Europe. My question is ; your orange block to charge your cell phone, is it rechargeable in the sun? if so, where did you buy it? Should I buy a cable for or only USB? Thanks.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

Thanks Jean-Marc, I’m not sure if we’re talking about the same thing but the orange block is a hard drive. We do have battery banks that is pretty reliable this is the one we use amzn.to/3TodkOB

[@pauljones2146]

If you had problems with the battery, the company should have fixed it for you.

[@MathersOnTheMap]

It wasn’t broken we just depleted the batteries but it eventually charged back up

[@dianasullivan3285]

We've had 99 icecreams in England since I was a kid now I'm 77, it wasn't 99 pence then it was about sixpence or less. It started in Italy with the Royalty, they had 99 guards so that's were the 99 comes from, it's a Cadbury flake from England, then it came to Scotland 1920s and England 1930s, it was probably only a penny or less in those days. It went to Ireland much later,

[@MathersOnTheMap]

So interesting, thank you for sharing!

You’re in a camper and don’t have food on board to cook?
