[@getawaygeese]

Thanks for watching - as you will see Ireland delivered all sorts of memories

[@Wizardinthewild]

Just catching up with your new series. Great start. That cafe was a welcome site. Looked like oyster catchers but I’m not good on birds. Nice to see the snow ❤️😊👍

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks for watching!

[@andymorrow55]

You will need to come back and do the walk up to the hidden village of Galboly which you drove past on the run up to Glenarm.

[@getawaygeese]

Watch the next episode I think it is as we had a great walk - very emotional place I found

[@eamonnobrien1410]

Love you're video

[@getawaygeese]

Thank you

[@atcautoelec]

Looks like being another cracking mission. 👏

[@getawaygeese]

[@VickiT158]

Thank goodness for diesel heaters! We like travelling in winter, too, but have never had to contend with snow. Jane would've been in her element. 😘

[@getawaygeese]

Yep could do without it - Jane would sleep with a window open - but I have to buried like a bear 😂

[@MelG-ut3hs]

That was a great start to your Irish winter adventure. The snow makes it magical.

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks - glad you enjoyed and we’re glad we saw snow to

[@blakes4ontour]

Those birds you can hear are Oystercatchers. Looking forward to the rest of your trip! Ju 😁

[@getawaygeese]

I bow up your superior knowledge- thanks for watching

[@didevilliers1238]

BRRRRRRR ! That looks (ahem) ffffreezzzzing but very pretty ❄️❄️

[@getawaygeese]

It was ‘fresh’ but as you say beautiful Thanks for watching

[@donseclad]

Been so looking forward to this

[@getawaygeese]

Hope we do it justice Thanks for watching

[@donseclad]

@@getawaygeese First episode was excellent as always

[@Kermit-Si]

Hi guys, I'm really looking forward to this series, great start. I'd love to do this trip. Perhaps not quite so early in the year. I like Southport, spent many a great days there, as I've got friends in Wigan. Looking at the front of Harry, reminds me I must remove my headlight deflectors 😀 Cheers 👍 🐸

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks for watching - you would enjoy Ireland I am sure Driving around Uk with mine in 😂

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

Good to see you getting all your ducks lined up for this series 😂 it's gonna be a good 'un 👍

[@getawaygeese]

I’ll have you know that’s two weeks of rations lined up lol 😂 Thanks for watching

[@LorraineG123]

Well now,thats a great start, snow in Ireland ha ha, it doesnt happen too often in our area ha ha. Hreat start you too,looking forward to the adventures ye had. Its remindung me whats ahead post our non starter summer. Only got camping twice so far. Life and weather was in our way.

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks - it was interesting weather especially in the first few weeks as you will see As ever we loved it

[@LorraineG123]

@@getawaygeese Awe bless ye,definitely Ireland has interesting weather ha ha. Hit and miss. Sun blazing here today,thankfully.

[@colinblack7049]

I loved that road to and from the ferry when I was driving the lorries on nightshift, as I was in no hurry I pulled in to the first layby on the Scottish side off the boat to let all the Irish batter on. Roll on the next episode.

[@getawaygeese]

Yes I really enjoyed the drive there the scenery is special Thanks for watching

[@the-other-windsors]

Great start to your new Irish adventure. Amazing to see snow on the coast. Been here 10 years and have seen pretty much nothing, despite it covering the village just a few hundred metres away! I hate driving in snow...keep ducking 😅🐕🚙

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks guys - I must admit it was nice having snow but you will see it stopped us in our tracks in a few episodes time

[@captured-by-kenny]

Great to see you came back to Ireland 👍👍👍

[@getawaygeese]

More to come! Thanks for watching

[@stevenwhite921]

Been looking forward for this series to start for ages as your videos are full of great information although l would like to point out it's 4hrs from Fishguard to Rosslare and not 8hrs Stewart:) which is the route l have booked for my September trip but wish l had waited for your Ireland videos to start and i would have booked the route you took. Thanks for sharing your adventures:)..

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks it just seemed that long lol I know we’re delayed massively on the first trip 😂 - thanks for pointing it out as it’s important Enjoy your trip I am sure you will love it

[@stevenwhite921]

Thank you, l was over there last year for 60 day's and will do the same again this year, t's a long sailing to some but in the past l spent 9 months on a single sailing:). l only plan on doing the south and west coast so it makes more sense for me to to go to Rosslare this year. Best wishes to you both

[@kiwihib]

Did the ferry trip in 1998, it left from Stranraer back then.

[@getawaygeese]

Ah did that’s why I always remember it as that - assume they built a new foresight port m Thanks for that and watching

[@cathalmccionnaith8268]

Hi Guys, great to see the new series ! Can I ask, what's with the blurred flag ?

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks for watching nothing other than my error as we were in the north we hadn’t hit the republic yet and I had already cut and uploaded the video - hope you can forgive quality control. I couldn’t easily remove so blurred it on this episode

[@elorac9160]

love the videos, I have learned so much from them . We are new to all this and just about to start out getting our transit custom converted. I noticed you got a duvelay what size and thickness did you get for Harry and would you recommend getting one.

[@getawaygeese]

Hi and thankyou for watching but above all commenting So we have actually had two originally we had the 25mm thickness or around that size but we suffer from bad backs so we upgraded to the 50mm A we have a rock n roll bed so we simply roll it up over the back We actually bought the custom service which you can supply the dimensions as we wanted the cut out in the corner where the back pillar sticks out Plus we had the fitted zip sheet which is a tight fit but do much easier All costs money of course but a good night sleep is key - there maybe other forums around that may suggest other brands as duvalay is a premium one I suspect

[@getawaygeese]

Meant to say if you measure a custom size duvalay add a bit more to size as when you lie it obviously pulls in a bit / something we learned between our first and second one

[@CampervanTales]

This is going to be something to look forward to. Southport though.... North East!!! No sinkings though Mrs Google so at least that's good news. Seagull should have been called a Gannet instead. We can recommend Guinness 0.0.

[@getawaygeese]

lol compass upside down Yes I have had that and have to say 0.0 in my opinion is very close to the normal and I never realised until this trip when they pour it in a pub it’s actually tin they load into a special bar top pourer that has the timing to deliver a perfect pint

[@kiwihib]

Hope your mum avoided all that crap that happened, stay safe.

[@getawaygeese]

Yes he did but all very close unfortunately in that we know someone who knows someone etc …. Very sad and tragic

[@kiwihib]

@@getawaygeese Good to hear, but the crap that followed helped by people who should no better.

[@davestickings4501]

We think the birds chirping could be Oyster Catchers

[@getawaygeese]

Ah right I am very poor and thought plover but I have no knowledge or basis for that other than I thought I saw some previously lol 😂 Thanks for watching and determined to improve my knowledge

[@marijayne9644]

Weird seeing a vlog from January in August!

[@getawaygeese]

Yes we have a bit of a backlog but we felt some will be planning winter trips but I know what you mean

[@karenholdaway8284]

Looking forward to following this trip. Have you got underslung water tanks? Do they have problems in the cold weather? I like the look of your cab curtain - is this a diy one? Was thinking of putting one on our van.

[@getawaygeese]

Hi thanks for watching and supporting us We have underslung fresh and waste 40 litre tanks but unsure at what temperature they freeze so plate it safe I have installed the cab curtains myself and a great asset - I did create a video showing how it’s in the playlist of projects on the main channel with my head poking through them - any issues mail me

[@karenholdaway8284]

@@getawaygeese I've just caught up with your previous video about being off grid and saw you were using bottled water! Will go back and visit your previous projects

[@getawaygeese]

We normally use underslung fresh and waste but sparingly so we can last longer - only because it was sub zero did we move to bottles which turned out to be easy

[@davidtoynton7702]

Hi what month was this trip please? Thanks Dave

[@getawaygeese]

Thanks for watching this was a January to March trip - out of sync with the seasons but hopefully useful if your planning for this year etc

[@coling7091]

Did you do the Torr Head (north of Glenarm) coastal route, on your travels? Don't break down halfway up like we did. Its scary!

[@getawaygeese]

Eventually lol you will see why in two episodes time a few challenges 😂 Thanks for watching

[@donseclad]

Do you have a night heater in Harry?

[@getawaygeese]

Yes we have a diesel heater that draws off the main tank - really good and blows out below the passenger seat into the space

[@johnnelson9764]

Loved watching the start of your winter adventure. Just to clarify your video shows when you reach Larne the Republic of Ireland flag! You actually as I’m sure that you know where in Northern Ireland part of the UK which has the Union Jack! Regards John

[@getawaygeese]

Great to have you onboard for the series hopefully Yes I messed up but blurred out the flag as soon as I realised my error - apologies

[@dtmccphotography]

You do know that, you "🐐"Landed in Northern Ireland NOT Ireland "aka. them lot down south" we have the Union flag as our national flag the same as England, not the tri-colour🤕, apart from that, hopfully you enjoyed the Ulster way 🏴‍☠

[@getawaygeese]

Ah yes never thought it through thanks for pointing it out

[@dtmccphotography]

@@getawaygeese Ah yes, must have been "dick ?" not Harry or Tom doing that part of the edit, haha, The wife and I often wondered what Glenarm Marina parkup looked like when empty, as every time we drive past in our camper van "Patches" it is full to the road ? Now we know and with SNOW !😀!😁!😅! And you drove past one of the sets built for Game of Thrones which you can walk into and around.

[@getawaygeese]

Your not wrong ‘Richard Head’ was fully in charge on the production - I could only blur out on this one but sorted future episodes - do appreciate your comment and tolerance 😂

[@tiddlywinks456]

“Them lot down South” love getaway geese too! Greetings from sunny Dublin guys 😘😘

[@getawaygeese]

@tiddlywinks456 haha thanks guys for watching

[@foreverirish132]

It’s great to see you back in Ireland 🇮🇪 your van is lovely 😊 just wondering who done your van conversion? 🚐 thanks

[@getawaygeese]

A company called AutoCampers based down in Winnersh they have a few different types but this one is the Leisure Van. There is a complete review video ( I think vlog 7 ) about 5 years ago but we have upgraded the kitchen, gas and batteries since
