Is ALL Irish off-road like THIS?🇮🇪 | S1E73

Wonder what kind of trouble I'm gonna get into up here. I thought it's gonna be gravel My journey began at North America's most northern drivable point after riding through Canada and America I've crossed over to Europe from there. I'll make my way across Asia and down to Australia New Zealand's southern most drivable point will mark the end of my journey I'm calling it the big spiral and this is act four a lap of Ireland and the United Kingdom. Oh It's sunny today A bit of a rare thing in Ireland So I'm pretty happy about that And also I had a Guinness last night, and I don't feel so bad today. So Things are looking up So yeah, let's let's get going Before we go There's a couple horses over there painted up as skeleton horses. It's really cool. I don't know if you can see that but Yeah Skeletons awesome All right, it's time to go So I just want to go back the way I came a little bit Because on the way in I saw this something. There's a fort there Or and you know when you think about a fort You know when I was a kid a fort is just like a little wooden shack that you build in the woods or something, but This is an Irish fort and it's an old one. So I thought I'd go check it out. Oh Look at that the Sun there's some blue in the sky. It's a good day Yeah yesterday there's so much mist in the air and even a little rain my lens is just getting fogged up and Pretty much makes the footage useless. So Yeah, look at They could see the other so there's another peninsula over there. I'm not sure what it's called but yeah, there's this West coast of Ireland is all these fingers coming out of it these peninsulas and I think I'm on the third one up Kerry Peninsula What I don't have it on my map I think it's coming out but must be coming up soon. Oh That's it something port state I don't even know how to say it stagger stack stagger something for it Yes, thank you for It's a and I feel like I've just Stay for it, but maybe that's the French way. You'd say and clearly there's no French-speaking people here Stake stake Maybe there'll be someone there I could ask It's so wet here. You get moss on the road Which is a little bit scarier from a motorcycle From my experience on mount bikes, it's really slippery. Look I have a shadow You work oh there it is They're just gonna say we're really kind of climbing into the mountains here Wow It's a big circle This is a parking lot. I guess I I could go through but maybe I won't All right, let's have a look-see. I'm not really sure what to expect, but I can see already that it's round. Oh There's the sheep Thanks to the fort How are you you're not gonna ram me are you oh now peeing Okay, I'm going to the fort now Okay Huh, I Got a little nervous. I know some of them like to to ram All right, let's see. Oh Wow This is pretty cool. Oh, there's like little holes All right, I have to go in the hole. Oh It's really a little Okay, that's a dead end. Oh It's good in both ways We allowed to walk on the top. It looks like it this Like obviously there's steps, but there's actually the top is well worn Okay, Wow So this fort was built sometime they think between 300 and 400 AD and It was likely for a lord or king at that time in Ireland. There are a lot of like local kings or lords Yeah, basically it was a protective place where they would have lived inside. So inside there would have been like huts or whatever The walls are six meters high in places and four meters thick So I I don't know what it was like back then, but they definitely built a pretty sturdy stout It's lasted this long hasn't it? But You know, I guess invaders I guess I guess they were all fighting each other back then Hello Are you local? I'm from Cork. Oh, okay. Do you know how to pronounce the name? Stag Fort. Stag? Yeah, I feel like it's got something to do with a deer Okay Stag? Stag? Okay. Yeah, I thought it was like steak or I don't know. Yeah. Anyways, yeah, cool Alright. I feel like it's something to do with deer. Yeah Probably All right. Thanks All right, so I was reading a little bit more on the walk back Apparently that hole I crawled into well, I think those were Cells for slaves like a combination for slaves. Oh man The Iron Age was a bit of a rough time, wasn't it? So I asked the owner of my Airbnb like, oh, is there any like dirt roads around here? Cuz we've got all these mountains here and Actually, he said You can drive to the top of the mountain nearby. So I think I want to just go do that and Enjoy a bit of off-road for a bit So it must be that mountain I'm going up. I'm not sure really When I walked to the pub last night, I took this road Here there's a sidewalk but back there is no sidewalk and it's actually kind of scary To walk on the road in the dark here in Ireland, I think the pubs down there, isn't it? Yeah Yes, here's our turn off it's gravel already Okay, you said there was one gate and it's not locked and you should be able to go up oh Yeah Is this someone's house Can I keep going am I breaking and entering here? Oh, it's muddy. Oh It's real muddy, I Wonder if it's a good idea Okay, there's two gates apparently Wonder what kind of trouble I'm gonna get into up here. I Thought it's gonna be gravel. I Imagine this never dries out so wet here Grass maybe a little easier Yeah, I hope I'm not breaking entering the Airbnb owners. I can just go up there. Oh Cows hello There's more than one gate Wondering if I'm on the right hill. Oh no, my My kickstands going straight into the ground Not gonna fall over. Are you it's sinking slowly sinking? Gotta get one of those big pads It goes under the kickstand This gate is open Not many people go up here, which is a good thing I think And these plants these Kind of rough plants look like something you'd find in a pond Well get the view Front end was pushing down the rut whoo, oh Getting up there. Oh It's starting to hit some stone now Maybe not so much stone. Oh God the hole is bigger than I thought Whoo Okay, maybe one last gate here. Oh, the view is already awesome Okay, don't tip over bike The ground is so soft Hmm I wonder if that means I should walk Yeah, maybe that gate is they want it to stay closed All right, let's head up and check out the view yeah, I think this gate is Wired Okay, well the ground is more solid than it felt on the bike Well, I suppose this pole means we're at the top You can't see much All right now for this small issue Of going back down the hill so much water Bit of a mud pit here It's definitely Interesting riding here, that's for sure. Oh The mist is kind of gone away and I get that view nice Talk to you later ladies So the next thing I want to go check out is Some cliffs Kerry cliffs. It's the Kerry County And I think they're supposed to be quite nice But if I can it's one o'clock already, I might try to get some food along the way See now the Sun's out, huh? The locals are like wow the Suns are out a Little village All right down to the water too, I feel like I should dip my boots in all right, I got myself a sandwich and a drink and Let's go to the beach All right. Let's see what we got here so I ordered a hot carvery and I think carvery means they carve the meat off the the hunk of meat Hey ham Well, I feel like I gotta at least dip my boots in the ocean One because they're kind of dirty and two Well, I did it on the other side in Halifax. So Well, this is a big one There we go All right, well that was nice and relaxing Let's head to the cliffs Look at this old little Cute little fishing town A ten minute walk to the most beautiful cliffs that Kerry Post Basin Magnificent view of a rock. Oh It's like a whole thing, can I Special motorcycle parking. Oh I have to pay, huh? Okay Five year or later and we're heading towards the Kerry cliffs It's private property And there's no drones, so We just have to see what we see I guess. Oh Wow Well, that's quite cool, actually All right, well I've seen the Kerry cliffs now They are nice cliffs But I have to say I do feel a little bit limited when I can't use the drone But well That's the way she goes I guess All right. I saw this road up there And it looks interesting So I'm going to take it These Irish drivers, that guy was on his phone, too Tearing down the road on the wrong side on his phone No, you cannot do that Stay at your side And get used to that because certain countries it's gonna be chaos, I think it's gonna be Wow, it's really odd landscape, isn't it? And there's still sheep down here What a cool road actually this Single lane Basically marshland, isn't it? Now I'm pretty sure like the UK and Ireland, I think they originally had trees on them but then as Humans kind of showed up and spread They cut them all down Now you get this Okay, so I just pulled over to fly the drone and I hear this weird sound and What are those birds It's like a... what is that in the roof? Is that a peacock? But it doesn't have its tail feathers up. Are those pea hens? I have no idea what those are Very odd bird. Oh There's more of those colorful ones back there Okay, I have no idea and I have to go it's getting dark again I'm gonna arrive after dark again very typical Yeah, there they are what are you it looks like a pea hen maybe there's a peacock oh there's more Okay Oh It's getting dark I still have a fair ways to go to Actually sunset still like in half more than half an hour away It's just it's so dark so early with the clouds All right. I just arrived at the best Airbnb So far I think Okay. Well, it's just the one thing that's made me really happy It's so awesome Isn't that the best thing ever I've never seen that before but yeah If you want to impress your guests at Airbnb fold the toilet paper into a boat But yeah the last two days were great I Like seeing all this old stuff made out of stone It's it's kind of crazy to me because I think if you grew up in Europe Or actually in a lot of parts of the world you're kind of used to that kind of thing but North America, we just don't get that at all and Here it's just like everywhere and it's just cool to see so yeah, I just kind of enjoyed that I like going up the hill Because there's not a lot of off-road in Ireland to be honest so when I can find it, I'm happy It was a lot more difficult than I thought a lot fairly muddy and all that. So But yeah, it was just a good experience the only problem was at the top the view wasn't great it's just fog, but Yeah, maybe maybe I'll only have to go on a really really clear day next time I climb a mountain, but we'll see but maybe we'll have a look at the map and Just see where we've been All right. So we started off in Cork and Got on this highway for a bit and then just scooted over this way and Got to around there. So that's around it might have been a little further actually like there So that was I think it's called three castle head, but it's also called Meissen head or Meissen head so after that backtracked and Then drove up all these curly roads and then I went over the mountains here and there's these cool tunnels up there and then kept going and then My Airbnb was right here, which was quite nice and then I just backtracked a little like I don't know like here Maybe to get to that fort that circular fort And then I went over here Waterville, that's where I had lunch and Dipped my feet into the ocean and then the Kerry Cliffs are here, I believe and then I did a loop like this and There's no road on this map, but there's a road in here. So then I headed up. What did I do like this probably? and Now I'm in trolley Or near trolley at least So there's the map so far. That's about that's four days and Yeah, we're making some progress in Ireland here. So maybe that'll be the end of this video I'll have some links on the screen So if you want to see me go from Alaska across North America That'll be act 3 and then if you want to see me get up to Alaska from my hometown of Abbotsford That'll be act 2 and then of course, there'll be a link to the next video Once it's live if it's live if if you're early, then it's not life. So, okay. Bye
