Thanks for watching, who's enjoying the summer storms we are having this year? 😂 Don't forget to check the video description each week for links and info mentioned in the video

Yeah crazy weather right now, Europe is burning uk and Ireland drowning... 🤷‍♀️ bonkers!! 😂😂

[@WaspTaylor]

Cannot say I'm enjoying the weather but it's made me feel better! whilst my broken hand heals I'm not missing any sunny weather where i can't ride my motorbike lol, I so need to do Ireland it looks beautiful even in the rain,, and you definitely are enjoying it come rain or shine🤣🥰🥰🥰

Aww you guys and your travels warm the cockles of my heart. Co Kerry is stunning thank you for sharing 🥰

Welcome to Ireland, where you could experience 4 seasons in one day lol!! Amazing drone footage! I live in Kerry, and despite the awful rain, its fab to see and also from someone else,s perspective. Love!

[@ThoseHappyDays]

It's such a beautiful part of the world, you are very lucky

[@sammurray1627]

That is one heck of an honest windscreen dude. He gave advice at the cost of potential business, how cool is that? Ireland is gorgeous. I’d be out dancing in that rain every day ❤

[@mkdons22]

Could be honest but I've had trade's blag it cos they couldn't be arsed doing the job lol

[@imagseer]

You've embraced the Irish rain now so the sunny bits in between are going to be extra special, and not being able to see all the scenery simply means you'll be back again one day. Hope you get to see The Cliffs of Moher on the way up to Galway.

Stop worrying about the cracks its a laminated windscreen so it won't shatter the cracks will keep creeping , as the car body flexes but its fine it won't leak water it might even go all the way up the screen don't worry its fine till you get back I've seen cracks in old vehicles screens been there years . Enjoy your trip trip.

[@paulwebb2748]

Hi guys, just to say... From my experience this comment from Johnhow is spot on. I've had cracks like that for a few months in my van before I got it repaired, just avoid those pot holes if you can and don't worry. Best of luck, have fun. Paul.

[@jasmine-oliviarose1908]

I can third that, it’s fine , keep going, it’s tougher than you think ❤

The storm looked extremely difficult to endure. We had a heavy downpour on Saturday morning in my part of Scotland which thankfully wasn't as bad as you have had to endure. Another fantastic Irish adventures of Janine & Liam vlog and love 🥰it. Love 💕Janine & ❤Liam.

Guys the word is MURAL. People started saying muriel from a coronation street joke on the ogden family who had a muriel put on their living room wall, they always pronounced it wrong. It was funny, but it somehow got picked up by some people who had never heard the word before. Lol.

The landscapes of the west Irish coast are so behemoth, angular, dark and dramatic! The Dingle peninsula coast is awe-inspiring! You managed to capture the magic and ethereal beauty of Ireland. and btw-If you spend a day or 2 in Dublin's pubs in most evenings, you will be singing ur wee little heart out before u finish ur first Guinness. Thank you for ur commitment! U two never disappoint! ❤

For weather like this be warm in all weather you need awesome base layers like people use for ski ing Then a cotton layer like a long sleeve teashort then a thin jumper then a fleece Then a windproof rain proof with high hydrostatic head And for bottom half full length base layer then leggings the jeans then water proof trousers you can get flexible breathable ones . Than always wear a woollen hat in rain and wind and gloves if needed you can waterproof over gloves too If you wear that you will be warm all day outdoors

[@premasru]

Except you wont be able to move 😂

[@rawlyroo5975]

@@premasru I worked all day every day in all weathers moving climbing and helping children dressed like that this is how people in Finland and Iceland dress I wore flexible breathable waterproof trousers from a well known brand they are awesome.i was never cold no matter the weather . It's lots of thin breathable layers that create the warmth

Your Crack is fine don’t worry. Have grown up driving gravel roads my whole life. Unless it spiders out in several different directions it’s safe. And glass today is very strong & unbreakable when driving. Even with a spider crack. Have Fun.

Seventeen years ago my daughter and I had an amazing. holiday there 😅We stayed at Inch Beach , then drove round the Dingle Peninsula/Ring of Kerry, drove across to the Rock of Cashel and back one day, then did the opposite direction to you down to Cork,then back to Killarney. The beaches are beautiful and the people we met were so friendly. But we had fabulous weather, you have been so unlucky, you must go back 😍

Leam the window is laminated and after 20 years as a windscreen fitter FORGET ABOUT THE WINDSCREEN ITS COMPLETELY SAFE. Let the hire company sort it out when you get back. yes it will crack till it runs off the end but it is safe and wont collapse in or smash, or leak stop worrying about the windscreen just get on with the trip. We are loving seeing the adventure as its on our to do list Michael uk 🫶

[@johnthompson9032]

Question Sir, good to hear and learn from your comments and 20 years, does super glue slow the crack down if applied, although I hea4 you, just don’t worry about it👍🏻

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

No super glue will not work the only way to stop it running is drill the glass to stop it. But it’s not worth doing as it’s way to long now. Leave it and enjoy the trip it’s no problem at all. And 100% safe 👍

Genuinely think my garage were just old-school dudes who didn't realise it's not so dangerous, and the place we had it repaired at weren't the ones who gave the advice.

You almost certainly drove through Adrigole on the way. Such a shame the weather was so bad as its an insanely beautiful part of the world.
