OFF GRID At Mahon Falls Comeragh Mountains - VANLIFE IRELAND - 5

#Campervan #Ireland #Vanlife #WildCamping #wildatlanticway #waw
Something different in this episode as we take our Ford Autocamper Campervan into the Comeeragh Mountains for a wild parkup by Mahon Falls. We go on a great walk but I push my back a little and Jane is not a happy bunny. We then head for our first Irish Aire at Dungarvan and find another great clifftop parkup at Bally Brannagan. Loads of history and stories that we discover along the way
Our names our Stew & Jane and along with 'Harry' our Auto Campers Ford Custom Transit campervan we are Getaway Geese, we record our adventures as we enjoy the freedom of vanlife. We hope our videos inform and maybe inspire you to vanlife whether that be permanent living or casual trips.

Apologies our pronunciation on Mahon and Dungarvan It's Dungarvan not Dunvargan has been rightly picked up

[@blakes4ontour]

Ahhh! That's a rare bird, that is. The elusive MANBIRD! I think there is only one left in the whole wide world now!!!! Ju 🤣

[@getawaygeese]

😂 thanks for watching …. Well it looked like a bird that far up ….. but a lesser spotted human in the end

[@cosudu3002]

What an awesome life you two lead. I really enjoy your vlog so much. Makes me want to travel again.

[@getawaygeese]

Thank you. We are living a life we talked about for so many years. We love Harry so much and what hes given us. Stew worked so many 14 hour days in his life its a great thing to see him do this. I understand what you mean about making you want to travel. The more we are travelling the more we want to ! Thanks for watching and especially commenting. Jane ☺️

[@robsmithadventures1537]

Good on you. Glad you like it. I am from Waterford.

[@getawaygeese]

Loved the factory tour at Waterford as we got so close to the skilled craftsmen

[@marymahar8446]

I believe the Guinness and the dip in the sea helped fix your back. 😉

[@getawaygeese]

I think the sea traumatised me lol 😂 Jane was made of harder stuff than me - but definitely the Guinness

[@lyndalike3037]

Another great vlog good to see you both on the mend thank you both 😀

[@getawaygeese]

Glad you enjoyed and thank you for supporting

[@colinblack7049]

Hi Jane and Stew, I'm really enjoying the scenic views of southern Ireland, I find a stick helps a lot when going uphill, my wife has a shop bought one similar to the one Stew's using. But of course, me being miserly Scot I cut a straight piece of branch off a tree that had been cut down when we were out walking in the woods around Callander and Aberfoyle.

[@getawaygeese]

Ha ha and I bet your stick is as good and has a memory attached - glad you are enjoying the videos and thanks tor watching

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Lovely park ups and a shame about the no camping signs. Good to see the back is on the mend ❤👍

[@getawaygeese]

Yep it’s one of those things you wake up and it’s not pressing on the nerve so all of a sudden your invincible - until Jane pulled me up lol 😂 thanks for watching and supporting

[@geraldwalsh6489]

Hi.....you guys missed a fab cliff walk in Ballycotton....it starts near that Car park.....also there is another fab cliff walk in Ardmore...up past the Cliff House hotel

[@getawaygeese]

Hi is that where the ship wreck is …. I am sure we missed loads of great places but it took us 9 weeks to get to Limerick We both said if we went back and did the same route again we would be able to find all new places and I suspect were right Thank you for watching and above all commenting

[@geraldwalsh6489]

Yes,its where that shipwreck is. We discovered a fab walk last month when the weather was fab.......Loop Head lighthouse loop on the Sheeps head peninsula. From Bantry you head west thru Ahakista until you come to the carpark two kilometres from the lighthouse. The walk is memorable but is not the easiest terrain. The views are stunning.

[@getawaygeese]

Always great when you find a new walk and better still if it’s a loop one I am not so keen on there and back

[@atcautoelec]

Nice vid guys, excellent editing and drone work Stew and interesting voiceovers Jane. You have really got this KZbining sussed! Well done and thank you for sharing, this trip just keeps getting better.

[@getawaygeese]

Well not sure about that re YT - it is a mystery to me on how they promote but I am glad you enjoyed it

[@piratesalleycats2290]

Great video! I liked the shot of you two walking away and holding hands. It was sweet!

[@getawaygeese]

Haha 😂 that was before I got in trouble 😂 thankyou for watching its really appreciated

[@roaminginraymond]

You're finding some really nice park ups. Oooh, Stew was brave making jokes about Harry being broken into. I have a stick I use sometimes too, and I'd definitely be using it walking somewhere like that. Lovely waterfall, definitely worth the walk. That tower reminded me of the pencil monument in Scotland. Beautiful beach and sea views with the drone. Looks like you're really enjoying Ireland.🇮🇪

[@getawaygeese]

Out of season Ireland at the moment seems to be easy - even if you see no parking places there is always somewhere. The history you would enjoy as so much of it. Yes a bad joke as one day we will have an issue - as ever thanks for watching and hope you are both well and finding sone downtime

[@CamperVanya]

Aargh, I lost a whole day’s footage once from a beautiful harbour. It’s so annoying when that happens. You were proper explorers in this one by foot and by wheels! Great video 👍🏻

[@getawaygeese]

It’s a horrible feeling when your backup process of copying fails you - thanks for watching

[@Wizardinthewild]

Beautiful scenery. Lovely walk to the falls. Pleased your back’s feeling better Stew x

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks for watching - Ireland delivers lots of scenery that’s for sure

[@CampervanTales]

Irish pronunciation is as difficult as Welsh, Stew. Love a waterfall, andxyour determination to get to the top. We really want to do Ireland at some point. Just need dog sitters first as passports for the trio would be extortionate. The beaches look stunning.

[@getawaygeese]

You would both love it as it’s very easy going and loads of history - thank you for supporting us

[@rogerthorley2888]

Great video and information

[@getawaygeese]

Thankyou kind sir for watching

[@powerdisney]

MAH on falls with emphasis on Mah if that makes sense

[@getawaygeese]

Yes it does thank you ☺️. I try and google the names after to get it correct. But sometimes end up more confused as some people have different takes on it which makes it worse. We are off on another trip in a few weeks and Im going to ask at all our stop offs how to pronounce it while Im there 😂. Wales was a nightmare trying to pronounce it right 😱. Thanks for watching. Jane

[@teddygas9689]

Dan and Mazzy say utubers shouldn’t do walk away from the camera vids 😮😂, keep up the good work and glad your both enjoyed . Brilliant as ever

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks for watching and commenting and glad you enjoyed it

[@teddygas9689]

@@getawaygeese yes just ignore those 2 haha, they were only having a bit of fun on one of theirs that I thought amusing 🤦‍♀️😂

[@getawaygeese]

I haven’t seen it the walking away is always a bit of a debate as I guess it’s set up but I wanted to show the start I guess - I need to take a look

[@teddygas9689]

@@getawaygeese no it was them having a bit of fun at nobody particular, I think @campervibe started the trend haha. I personally think it’s great but it was also quite amusing with Dans sense of humour 🥴😂

[@getawaygeese]

I will have to dig it out sounds a fun vid

[@annc3628]

Mahon falls is pronounced "Man" falls as im looking at your videos 1 after another i know ye do wild camping but there is 2 campsites near there 1st is the getaway in dungarvan and 2nd Ardmore seaview camper park

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks for watching - we are trying hard to get names right but there were so many we try at least in the narration to sort it but often fail so apologies. We loved the walk to the falls and the following day it rained and you could see the impact on the falls

[@adogaday]

Lovely! Was interesting to see some nice inland scenery as well as we were wondering about that. That area around the waterfall looked fab! Been looking at the west coast on Google maps recently. Did you spend any time around Quilty? Looks like lots of vehicles parked on and around the beach there but can't find much info on google for some reason. No spoilers though if that's a future episode lol.

[@getawaygeese]

I had to look Quilty on the map and now pinned it as looks a place to visit. It was good to dive inland as so much to see to be honest. Thanks for watching

[@the-other-windsors]

Now Stew ...stop giving Jane have heart failure! Climbing up that falls. Jane Bernie's just the same. Always getting too close to sheer drops etc. Honestly, what we going to do with them !! 😬🐕🚙

[@getawaygeese]

Never ask that question of Jane as she will find a few things to do with me neither of them pleasant - hope Bernie is improving and thanks for watching

[@the-other-windsors]

[@markmangan845]

Great vid billy and Edna, very enjoyable as usual 😊😎👍

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks Geoff. As you know your support is very valuable to us 😂 jane

[@paulbleasdale6283]

Stew, can you please tell me what Drone you have many thanks

[@getawaygeese]

Dji mini 2 it’s under 250g which makes a difference on the rules on where you can fly in the uk at least when they changed the rules 18 months ago - before then I Han an mavic air

[@gordonwilson6342]

Great content as always! I’m no expert on Irish pronunciation however, I’ve got my doubts about the Mahon waterfall being pronounced as Ma-hone. The famous Irish band The Pogues were originally called Pogue Mahone (pronounced ma-hone) which (so popular legend has it) translates as “kiss my *rse”. I’d imagine it’s more likely to be pronounced Mar-un, hopefully some Irish viewers will be able to confirm or deny

[@getawaygeese]

We are sure we got it wrong and pronounced it a couple of ways - thanks for watching and commenting

[@phaedracleary1154]

Hi I am from Waterford and its pronounced as "Maa Hon " and its pronounced like "come er aagh " mountains and its also Dungarvan is pronouned like " Done Garven"

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks we knew we were get Mahon wrong as we try to get it right but Google sometimes confuses

[@phaedracleary1154]

@@getawaygeese no probs..your videos are absolutely wonderful btw..the editing and setting the vibe is really really good...i love following your adventures.

[@getawaygeese]

Thankyou that’s very kind

[@smiley9872]

Mahon pronounced mahen locally

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks we do try but unfortunately we also get it wrong and still will but key to learn - thanks for watching

[@paddysboys]

pronounced "Mahan" Falls

[@getawaygeese]

Yes a few pointed out we got it badly wrong - sorry 😞 we do try Thanks for watching

[@paddysboys]

@@getawaygeese Love the videos keep up the great work

[@getawaygeese]

@@paddysboys thanks

[@powerdisney]

Uncomfortable couples moments when you put Stu down and he is obligingly self deprecating! Remember the men are our super heroes! It is decades of social engineering that has us portray our menfolk as the weaker sex? No offence intended! Enjoying your Ireland playlist and shared including in America with a Disney tour guide. It may be that eventually these kind of channels will make tour guides redundant?? I live in Ireland and haven't toured all the places you have! P.S. My father emigrated from Dungarvan and we came to visit every year. The Mahon Falls were a regular visit, where legend has it the water runs uphill as do the cars!

[@getawaygeese]

None taken. If you watch alot of our videos you’ll see its my hobby 😂 and believe me stew gives as good as he gets and some lol. Ireland has been our best trip to date by far. We did have one complaint - it was so stunning we never managed to travel far each day !! We didnt see as much as we’d of liked but it just means we get to come back again and again. We certainly didnt rush it as we’d of missed so many fantastic places. Thanks for watching. Jane

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks Angie for the watch and above all the comment - Jane and I bounce off each other so it’s a way we are but understand your sentiment Really appreciate the share as one thing we are evolving is our story telling and this episode was a bit different we share the hour and the bad but try to give a sense to the places we visit The 9 weeks was our best yet and we fell in love with Ireland and we have toured very slowly Merry Xmas and Happy New Year Stew
