🔴 ** ABOUT ME **
My name is Hugh from The North of Ireland aka Ulster.
I have been registered Disable after suffering A spinal injury sustained while on active service for my Country’s Military.
I’ve only been on YouTube since 2023 with the intent of sharing me trying to fulfil my dream of travel as A disabled motorcycle rider (yup your reading that correctly)
My background is from the Military and Agriculture.
Over the years I’ve experienced crippling pain to the point of being bed ridden for months at A time.
I have also suffered and still do from PTSD, Anxiety, A throw into the mix A couple of heart attacks and A bout of thyroid disease.
Even now I still struggle with the most basic of tasks such as bending and rotating at the waist, not to mention lifting anything of weight.

🔴 ** ABOUT THIS CHANNEL **
My channel Fecked&Furious Moto And Travel is all about sharing my journey to chase my dream of Motorcycle travel before I am forced to give up Riding due to A Spinal Injury and other aliments.
I’ll talk about how I’m in A constant battle with Pain and Social Anxiety and how I managed to get the Better of depression (to A point)
Also the usual vlogging, moto travel and the great outdoors….

[Applause] Oh I a lovely we uh a lovely we stop there folks for uh I had to I had to pull over and put the uh the jacket or the under jacket on for it got a bit uh nippy with the old uh windy chill so so I thought first the trip I’m

Not going to give myself the B yet so uh did the did the the right thing and pulled over to put the jacket on so uh yeah I’m still in for a bit of a long day so that’s uh 10 6 Spanish or Portuguese time we arrive at the uh the

Huim flip but sure I mean look at that for absolute scenery so uh like I said welcome to the uh Portugal tour 2023 for I think a buggered up the audio at the uh at the Port but sure it is what it is but uh first and foremost I’d

Like to say a big big thanks to all the great fellas that met on the boat there and and it it was an absolute pleasure meet you guys and uh safe trip and healthy enjoying all the rest of it there and as sure hopefully we’ll see

You on the return leg but right get back to it ladies and gentlemen I mean c God what you think at that for quite sake October and I’m being blessed with views like this here absolutely amazing right give me a we second here I set the old um is that the old

Who what’s it called uh what the hell’s it called the uh cruise control sorry oh dear dear dear start resuming on hot but uh yeah Sunday morning folks and honest to God there’s hardly a car or laer van on the road it’s uh it’s been

An absolute gift coming from the port up through Sant and and down into uh t t laa try and pronounce these place names right so it’s hang on for un B the helmet the old uh D there we go that’s better so look at that blue skies and

Just a we Misty cloud L off in the distance there so you’re you know you’re in for a good day like you know so but so far so good so I didn’t record anything coming down the motorways in Ireland for come on to be honest with

You there’s not much uh there’s not much to be seen on the motorways that I was I was thinking there was not much to be seen on this Motorway but for God’s sake look at that man absolutely stunning everywhere you look like you know it’s uh it’s getting

Hard to focus on the road but uh oh I think I might have a bit of BL up news from the but ah sure it is what it is here anyway right getting back to the ferry for the the men and the women that work on the ferry I’m going to give them

10 and 1 half out of 10 for they were absolutely uh amazing folk they were friendly and go out the way to give you a hand if you needed it there so the only reason to not get the 11 that the for 11 or 10 but you always get that one miserable

Blonde bent who doesn’t really want to be there and just is uh the level lucky enough I never had an interaction with her but I did see her communicating with a couple of fellas and talk about being short holy Jesus that was uh I mean God God of the

Boys knew how to make a bite and they were winding up for uh good on them good on them so uh so yeah so uh so yeah 10 and half out of 10 for the uh the staff the boat itself lovely boat nice and clean and tidy uh good facilities very very good

Facilities uh for I mean uh for us it was a two night only coming across so there was uh the restaurant stays open from lunchtime all the way through to 9:00 at night that’s that’s the topaz restaurant that’s the one upstairs and that’ll do all your pizzas and your

Burgers and the like so it’s uh absolutely amazing and then uh your bar was open as well and the we C and there always vandom machines and the we shop open periodically as well so you never short or something to do uh cin the cabin get a freaking uh they got

A big old strike for the first night there was the vibration of the boat created a knocking right above the ceiling where I was sleeping and I think I only managed three hour sleep on the first night and it was torture and the end I just threw on the TV and

Threw on a French uh radio channel and LU enough that sort of drown out the the bang and it was like somebody above you with a hammer going dink dink so I said to the boys and the girls next day and they sent an engineer around and uh and they just said they

Said look I’m we’re sorry but it’s the vibration the boat and uh they said and mind they did offer to move M cabins so a big tick in the Box for that there but by the time the afternoon came and the engineer had been around the the vibration had stopped or it had

Transferred somewhere else so that was all well and good so uh I lovely I love and here here’s the great part in case you’re wondering for a 2day fair there is a streaming service on board which will give you no amount of radio channels and news channels and the

Films uh there was and there were separated into action adventure and all that sort here let me see I think I think it was about 25 films to choose from but maybe in a book you know it’s you know that down to 10 for it’s either action an adventure or sci-fi

So but I mean your dramas and your uh you know your your romances and all that sort of camera there as well so again you’re not going to be bored and I mean and this uh and this and that’s streamed 24/7 folks so you you can watch it all

Night all day do whatever you want you know so I mean as far as entertainment on the boook goes you are not going to be uh wanted anything so uh big a big tick in the Box for Britney Britney fairies there so by All In All by that

First night Shenanigans that’s the whole fair thing was an absolute gift so anybody come from the north of Ireland or the Republic of Ireland it couldn’t be simpler to head into uh if you’re booking it’s Britney fair.com it’s uh as easy as out there and it’s it’s as easy

As driving down to Ros Lair for there’s no there’s there is there a we hotel and all there and the fuel Pops at Ros for it’s a relevantly new port for it it only used to be an old fishing port until brexit buggered everything up and

Then uh the uh the folks in the Republic just went hammering tongs and got R there up and running to get the fairies direct from Ireland to the EU so it’s uh so honestly for for Mu like myself coming down for the Portugal tour it was an absolutely fantastic job like so but

Here we go look some more I love but again this is just a I mean it’s an awesome day I mean you look at that there not hard traffic in the road sun’s out not a cloud in the sky and uh air lovely Dutch fellow was speaking to Eric

Again pleasure to meet you sir it truly was uh for he was saying that uh the weather forecast for Portugal is awesome for the week for they’re not expecting any any rain or such to towards the last week in October so hopefully they that see me through the the whole uh the

Whole week on the end2 so that’s about uh that’s about the update for for the for the minute or two I just thought now i’ compos myself and I stop the jack on I’m feeling a bit more at myself there and oh look at that everywhere you

Look even folks even coming from uh B to Santa there the motorways through the V and stuff was after it was absolutely gorgeous like you know and I can see mountains way off in the distance and they they look truly amazing but sure right I shall uh get caught up with you

Uh shortly for uh we’re coming into traffic here or some Road works or something so I keep the wits about me right I’m sure you not don’t want to see Road works so uh I shall catch you lot in a bit T PS for right folks we’re up in the ples of

Leon on our way to the Portugal and uh I mean good look at that look at that they say it’s uh some folk might say it’s it’s a boring ride or a boring drive that for there’s not that much to same way but honest to God this here in itself is

Just spectacular and who’s this here on yourself play Man fair play Oh I but but now there you go just a quick update on the trip so far and yeah I mean like I say it’s not boring at all it might be big and open

And flat and all the rest of jazz there but it’s within itself it’s got that uh that level I so often you see we places they out there off the distance are we uh casty things up on the mountain tops and whatnot and all the rest with but uh

But there you go right she’ll catch up with you a bit later on right see you in a bit right here we go boys and girls stopped for a bit of a bit of a fuel stop and fuel stop I was on the Red Line more full

Me but anyway we’re still up in the uh the PLS the PLS in Spain head and sorry you have to bear with us folks but uh I mean look at this look at this it’s just absolute Beauty no matter where you look but the problem with hot weather and bugs all over the

Place is I’ve attract I have attracted every wasp in the bloody place but the secret is when dealing with wasps is just work around them work around them here bear with me folks maybe not I like with San folks it seems with all the blogs bug splatter all over the bike I’ve

Attracted every wasp in the bloody garage but here is a top tip for you ladies and gentlemen when you’re dealing with wasps the secret is Don’t Panic just work around them once you start flinging your arms left right and Center that’s when they start to get pissed off so I

Mean I’ve got what half a dozen or more F about here so again it’s just a case of just chillaxing let nature do what nature does with the bug Squat and in your own time go on right I’ll get back on the road and I’ll uh I’ll leave you some I’m going to

Turn on the 360 and I’m going to give you some beautiful scenery in the on the planes that’s being here so we shall catch you in a bit all right wasby see you in a bit folks The St is For the is for Real this time is for Real the time is for Me the STL is for me the time is for Me Yeah The St for Me the St Is For Real St So there we go living Dan we’re all fueled up and ready to go yet again now if you ever pass in this place in the W Portugal stop in here for that is an amazing uh amazing lunch and the staff are so friendly and helpful you’ll definitely uh you’ll definitely not go

Wrong right so off we go again last leg hopefully uh let me see hopefully an hour maybe an hour and a half and we’re there but oh but to get what’s up Jesus 36° the bike’s reading 36 bloody de oh that’s Fierce for I did have to uh

Stripped down for like God that was hotter than hell it truly was so uh I’m hoping the uh I hope the camera doesn’t fly so here think I’ll turn it off turn it off right back SEC some and still not played in this guy Bor the old aircraft sco

Overhead but uh I mean this is this is what got to the right beautiful uh part absolutely St and then on the left here got the winds up at the uh top of the hills as well making full use of the open planes but it’s bit of a difference from

The uh the flats and the plateau so it’s the C changing keeps you keeps you occupi especially when I’m so close to sh as well yeah a lovely it’s absolutely lovely Run for the three cars in front this is the most traffic I’ve seen in about two

Hours it’s uh it’s mad it’s absolutely mad but uh but yeah so there you go folks 40 m from I’m going to slow it down a bit just because I’m coming into some uh traffic oh it’s the tunnel oh lovely that’s that’s only the second car

Van I’ve seen since we’ve left the port something else outly right sunf are up and into the tunnel but again the noow point uh the noow point harm 3 F it’s such a lovely day there’s no point there’s no point to rush for you just going to start missing stuff you’re

Going to act like an ed up in the bike so just lay off the twisty through a little bit enjoy the ride and uh enjoy the scenery but uh there you go right oh here we’re nearly out the tunnel so I was the long one it was going to turn

You off but uh but yeah so all in all it’s been an absolutely fantastic day so far for AI made up uh hang on just for a glare and we are off ski all right what was I say thing no idea we’re still at 62 hi for was a serious lack of uh

Traffic on the road and two sets of uh actually two sets of uh Road works and that was that was a couple only a couple hours ago but the traffic was that light it absolutely made no difference at all to travel times so uh I consider myself blessed for that

But there you go yeah yeah that sort of that sort of yeah kills the view that all them tanes everywhere for sure it is what it is I’ll just look to the left enjoy the uh full we on that side and look to the right and enjy the on that
