Envy from Dubai.
Even with the rain and headwind the views are fantastic. Thanks katie for sharing what bikepacking across1200km of Ireland is all about even the not so fun parts😊. Katie got 🐑🐑🐎 😊.
Also all the off the bike stuff you have to do when exhausted. Which just makes it a tad harder 😂
🌟 🇮🇪

You made it look easy going up the “Connor Pass”. Great cyclists
Can’t believe you didn’t do Beara peninsula Katie. You’ll have to come back! #myheartbelongstoBeara
Cillian doesn't live in Dingle. He bought an old Cinema there.☘️🇵🇸
Love O’Sullivan’s Courthouse Pub in Dingle. We were fortunate to catch Pauline Scanlon performing there…somehow found our way back to the B&B after drinking a keg of beer.
Ah Connor Pass. Climbed it in the 80s on a Condor 753 racing/road bike with 47-23 lowest gear and Blackburn "low rider" full front panniers, and tent and handlebar bag. Managed to pull something in lower abdomen climbing up, so quite unable to cycle at top. However, free-wheeled down all the way to a beach and camped there 4 days or so until able to cycle again. A local pub provided my food. The pub owner's brother operated tour buses with regular American tours. As soon as they were alerted the bus was on its way, the TV was turned off and a fiddler started up a tune. Brilliant. That injury stayed with me for years but faded away – a memory of Connor Pass.
The beloved "sheepees" again !! This time Irish ones though !! 😆
Let's not kid ourselves she is a LOT tougher than she looks!!
Stinkin beautiful. Looking forward to cycling this in the near future!
Maybe for breakfast a little cup of tea, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on. Have a great day tomorrow!
Please tell me that you will be in Galway. Its my city. I can't be a subscriber to your channel Katie and miss the opportunity to meet you……
Father Ted's house I am assuming you went to the following day 😉
welcome to the southwest of ireland where we cycle in wind and rain 12 months of the year
Why didn't you make it to northern ireland? Just seen your strava
Beautiful country
the animal lover, the Sheep Lady, safe travels
beautiful trip, I see nothing changed in the Irish countryside since the year I saw it in the '80ies, the same as to the climate (four seasons in the same day). And both of you girls don't need to kiss the Blarney Stone to receive the gift of expressiveness (you already have it)
looking forward to part 4 ..lol if you did not go to achill island you missed some of the best cycling roads you ever travelled . makes the cliffs look average lol its so stunning ….
I know where you are going….. 🏝⛵✝. Right then Ted…..
En route to Craggy Island I’d say. Drink. Feck. Arse.
Loving these videos! What bike are you using ?
Thank You Ladies… Just Wonderful!
( what is it about Alpaca's that just make You feel so Happy.. I just ❤ 'em!)
GR8 Scenery & such dramatic Cliffs!!
but those Irish Jig Bands just do it for Me every time I hear 'em!!
Keep It Coming Ladies & Take Care…..
Mmm. Front derailleurs are delicious!
Loving these videos and so glad you had a great time, so true we talk to anyone and once your out of cities isn’t the same everywhere you bike pack everyone welcomes you. Just back from France and Basque Country bike packing 2 weeks and it’s like people can’t do enough for you.
Can’t wait for next episode and haven’t stopped laughing and smiling 😂
🦾
Just casually running into Sean Kelly …
you shouldn't have made so many comments about no rain in previous vids. The rain will always find you at some point.
Funny that you crossed paths with Tour de Munster!
Loved the video Katie. Fantastic scenery Slea Head, Conor Pass and Cliffs of Moher. Dingle is a little gem. Was down there last April doing RideDingle. Loved it.
That looks like a brilliant holiday (though the mileage would be too much for me). I never realised the overlap between bikepacking and credit card touring 😉 At the end of the day, it's getting out on the bike and having a good time, and what you call it makes not a jot of difference and shouldn't define it. I say this because from the title, I wasn't expecting that video. Don't get me wrong, I'm not disappointed – I loved it – it's giving me the itch to get out for an overnighter or more – thank you 😊
