"It's about to get crowded up in here", genius comedic timing Eric.
Good to see coverage of the Isle of Man - often overlooked by non-motorcycle fans- but it's well worth a visit. And very pleased you described the TT races which are incredible. Sadly another two racers died this year (2018) Dan Kneen who lived on the island and Adam Lyon from Scotland. Brave men.
Watch Dan Kneen in action here ruclips.net/video/K1iu5o0HRbo/видео.html … at 2:12 in particular.
My Auntie used to date Dan Kneen's Dad
Hannah Murphy why ya telling lies??
My cousins husband was Dans best friend
"Brave men."
Debatable.
As a Brit, I'm really enjoying the videos of your trip through Britain - seeing us and our land as others see is is always eye-opening! Regarding the kingdoms you can see from the Isle of Man, the correct number is 6 - Scotland to the north, Wales to the south, Ireland to the west, England to the east, Man if you look down, and Heaven if you look up!
Sorry, but neither Wales nor Northern Ireland , or Ireland are Kingdoms.
Actually seven. Don't forget the kingdom of the sea.
I have a thank you i owe you two. Im in yorkshire. London is beautiful, i love London, its an amazing visit! But a HUGE thank you thank you thank you for exploring north. Love these uploads, you guys are so very welcome anytime xx
Thanks so much, Paul! Glad you are enjoying! -E
london. beautiful? id hardly describe london as beautiful.. oh well each to their own. lol
michael adams clearly
This was actually super engaging. Usually I find nomadic straight couple vlogs insufferable and indulgent. This was fun.
lol thanks glad you enjoyed. -e
Kyde throwing the rock and the happy little wobble-run is my favourite thing
That kind of tower is called a “folly”. They were built as a kind of status symbol by the rich land owners around the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. They have no purpose beyond that. Hence the name “folly”. Love the channel btw. Namaste 🙏🏻
Some towers near coasts were built as "Day marks" to allow sailors to take a visual navigation bearing from.
Yeah, they were used as night beacons to guide fishermen to the ports.
One of the sweetest videos you two ever made. I was actually swooning when you were smelling each other.
Thanks for taking the time to produce these interesting, informative and fun videos. - your personalites shine through. Also, none of the terrible generic RUclips music used by so many vloggers! Subscribed! Snaefell! What did you call me! :D
Thanks so much! We try to keep things within our own style, so bass heavy music is not in the cards! Haha
Agree
For some strange reason I repeated the part from 15:56 to 16:16 several times. I don't know, for me it sounds beautiful, like an everyday man's travel vlogger's poem
It's crazy
It's near the mountain
Inside the clouds
(Me?) Eating some mushrooms and coconut
In the middle of Isle of Man
Batteries on my phone is dying
We might not have enough fuel to get back
I don't care
Kyde, June 2018
(excuse me for errors. It's not my first language)
I love the sound of it a lot. Thanks kyde and eric. Always enjoy your videos immensely.
Fun fact - I don't know if you noticed but all castle stairwells go up clockwise. It meant that as a defender you could cover yourself with a shield in you left arm and pokey-pokey over the top of your opponents shield with a sword in your right. The attackers sword arm would be hampered by the wall on his right
I love these videos. Especially since it's cool to see people visiting the UK (London) and enjoying it. It makes me happy to live here. You show the little intricacies which I would always take for granted.
Though apart from that your videos are still great. In my opinion you blend the line perfectly from being informative and personable which makes it really enjoyable and professional like a TV show. Also the panning shots and Google map showings make it really nice and very easy to understand.
Thanks a lot! That's the line we like to try to walk, mixed in with getting to see things through the eyes of people experiencing it for the first time. -E
Love this isle of man tour you did.
I ll be watching more places you both go.
Lovely!! No nonsense adds and music that is distracting.
Just very focused on informative ideas about place ,
plus some humor.
Enjoys watching you both.
See you soon somewhere.
Thanks! Glad you found us an enjoyed. -E
I was there in 2017, and will be there in 21 days for the TT 2019! Can't wait! Love it there. Tax haven. :)
Enjoying this series immensely.
So happy to hear it! Thanks! -E
These travel videos are therapeutic. I enjoy watching them while having dinner. :) So fun and relaxing.
Hello couple.
After 5 minutes, I couldn't even think to stop watching, you guys. Because it is very easy to like you. Wow, when I saw you climbing the tower, I thought: you shouldn't do this. How curious about the 'bulldog tower' drink, and the snack they consumed, it looked very good. Chocolate with coconut is the best combination I know. I love coconut! As for the beaches, even without the heat and sand, as here in Brazil, I admired the coast there a lot. After all, sea is sea. The island's money and coins: very, very interesting. TT 27 miles for 1 lap? Wow. At that speed? Never ! I agree with her in the description in the 32 minutes, about the scenario. Hmm, the local 'deli' burger looked very tasty, as did the 'Isle o man cheese'. I liked the second tower, see? I watched until the end.
Scotland also have their own notes, but you can usually use them in England too... or just exchange them in any bank for free.
in England the shops will normally accept bank of England notes only
I live in the IOM. The "Harry Potter School" is actually a private school called 'King William's College'. Yes it's always windy and you can never escape the hills.
Hope you enjoyed! More from Isle of Man coming soon!

milners tower port erin. safe makers of days gone by, liverpool and london. and said you could see a shape of the tower in the safe keys bitting. great to see you had a good time there
Best travel show period. Charming, informative, witty, sexy, lovable and that's just Eric's beard. Looking forward to the next one.
Hahaha, thanks! Really happy you enjoyed, can't wait to get the next video your way. -E
Nice to see adventurous tourists seeking out the lesser known parts of the U.K. and obviously enjoying the experience.
the TT as described by one of your conutry men is the "last bastion of free will"
*country
Some towers were built near the coast as "daymarks" for mariners to take visual sightings on for navigation purposes.
Of all the things in this word that Kyde has eaten... and she won’t try 2-3 year old marmalade! That made me chuckle!!
Hahaha, she's getting soft! -E
LOL IKR? XD
We’re definitely trying those burgers when we go. For anyone else looking for the cafe the name has changed to The Sugarloaf Cafe. Rarebit is good, usually referred to as Welsh rarebit in the UK 🇬🇧
North wales, Snowdonia National park. Imo is some of the most beautiful scenery you’ll find in the U.K., you could stay in a town called Llandudno. Lots of hotels, beautiful town and within an hours drive of anywhere you’d want to go. Also fun facts, Llandudno was where Lewis Carroll wrote Alice In Wonderland, it’s also home to a copper age mine and where the Queen keeps her goats. If hiking and discovering cool things is your thing, then North Wales is the place for you. I live near Conwy and can see the castle from my window. Look it up, Conwy castle. It’s a complete package the castle and the town still surrounded by the walls.
The beach in Port Erin is my favourite place in the world. Spent much of my childhood in the summer. Love the Isle of Man. I hope you got to Faerae brdge and the steam train in part 2!
We visited in February so the steam train wasn't running, but we went hunting for fairy doors in Castletown! -E
You two should definitely have your own travel show. If I was a TV producer, done deal.
Let us know if you get a job as a TV producer! -E
Finally travel vloggers with a sense of humor!!! We really enjoyed the video and plan to go to Isle of Man in the fall.
3:50 - Is an exclusive private boarding school called King William's College. 11:13 - looks like the mystical and folkloric South Barrule. The view from up there is stunning, with patchwork fields of green and brown all around. 26:56 - Braddan, the Old Church; I have some Crellin relatives buried there, and in nearby Union Mills. My ancestors married and were baptized in that church. They store some old Celtic crosses inside the church, to protect them as they are irreplaceable. Each district (Parish) of Man has its own style of Celtic cross. 47:23 Yn Arbyl/Niarbyl is Manx Gaelic for Tale of the Rocks. A wonderful place for sunsets and sunrise, and for watching seals, sharks and whales when in season.
KWC is a perfect place to play cricket
So glad you watched TT Closer to the Edge. Best documentary by far to get a handle on the riders' motivation. Without driving the course for real you can have no proper appreciation of what these guys face.
I am Manx and live in iom a lot of people don't know this place very well
So it's nice to see it on yt
Glad you enjoyed! We loved our time there!
Thanks guys, really enjoyed that, looks like you had a great time. Glad you like our sweeties. Today is the biggie of the year, the senior TT. Six laps as quick as you can manage, hope they all come home. Enjoy Scotland.
Thanks Anthony! Glad you enjoyed our video, enjoy the rest of the TT too! -E
@29:30
Beneath Here Lies
Beloved Kyde
Her Death Was Swift
And Marmaladey
I was next to an IOM cash dispenser when someone came up to me, they had drawn out £100 and did not know how to change it, they had not thought an IOM dispenser gave IOM cash. they were going direct to the boat love your video.
It is directly between England, Scotland Ireland and Wales not between UK, Scotland and Ireland
On a clear day you can indeed see all Kingdoms
I was born here and have had many many holidays through the years to my birthplace, I'm 62 now and sadly will never see it again except via these uploads so please keep up the work
You guy's are so cool. Wish I knew you. Thanks for sharing your Isle of Man experience.
You guys do get around. A couple of interesting points. During WWII, The Isle of Man is where we imprisoned alien residents, so it was full of Italians & Germans. Also in the old days the TT riders used to use elastic bands on their accelerator throttles to keep them fully open and then would just gang on for dear life.
When you go next, enjoy the races if indeed you can get a booking. .They have two major events in a year, the TT and later in August the "Classic TT", which features classic motorbikes as well as newer ones. The wind you experienced is British onshore/offshore wind. If you are within about 10miles from a shore you will experience it. It is because the land and the sea heat up and cool down at different rates. British tides are amongst the highest in the world. Don't get caught out! Check behind you always. You need a lifetime to experience the Isle of Man properly, but next time at least visit the mines at Laxey, the Steam trains and definitely have breakfast at The Caff in Douglas.
Yea, IOM is great! A lot of things we were unable to do because they were closed during the winter. -E
It's the The International Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) races, So it's a race I would of thought you two Kyde and Eric would of taken part in! LOL...
I rewatched this and got to the part you talked about the TT race. Out of curiosity I looked up TT race Isle of Mann On RUclips. My God, driving like that is nuts!
Yea it's absolutely crazy
Great video used to go to the island every year on holiday when i was a Kid
It seemed to be a pretty great place to explore as a kid!
Same I was obsessed with finding fairies and exploring castles.
I'm subscribed to a number of travel channels on here and I have to say I think this is my favourite one. I'm so glad I found you guys, thank you so much for sharing.
Wow, thanks so much! We are glad you found us too! -E
That tower looks like a scene from The Ring. Watch out for Samara.
Love, love, love coconut mushrooms. Get them into ye!
They were so good!!
I've just got back from my first visit to the Isle of Man and found your film. I really enjoyed watching this it was so much fun and you have a great style of narration. I am from the United Kingdom and after seeing your tour I will be revisiting the Isle of Man. I will watch your other videos now. Fantastic job I really loved this.
Awesome, glad you found us! Isle of Man is wonderful, enjoy your return trip! -E
You guys are living my dream vacation Someday someway I'm going . I have 2 places on my bucket list Hawaii and Europe and I went to oahu back in 2016
Lucky! We really want to explore Hawaii sometime! -E
Ok 1) WOW dang, the Isle of Man seems SO pretty! It had never really been on my radar before, but now I HAVETA add it to my British Isles / Ireland "maybe someday" travel bucket list
You gotta go! It's an awesome little island. -E
A great film of a magical place.The IOM is seriously weird,in the 1920s there were reports of a farm being haunted by a talking Mongoose called Gef.
HAHA, what? We didn't hear about that, guess we need to go back. -E
He still about just don't like strangers🤣
Do you remember Wallace and grommet the wrong trousers , the criminal mastermind penguin disguised his true identity by pretending he was a chicken. To pull this of he wore a red rubber glove on his head and that's what erics hat reminds me of .
Love your videos K&E! Awesome as always!!
Honestly, I didn’t even know this place existed. So it’s been a real treat to learn about it!
Again lovely enthusiasm and joy streaming from you time there. I grew up near beaches like that. Not “rocks” pebbles! I’m sure you saw in your work up to TT races, TE Lawerence (as of Arabia) died from his accident there too.
He died in Dorset Nadia,not the IOM.
Sorry no he died not far from his home Cloud Cottage in Dorset
The fuel protocol is common across the UK. Fill your car up then pay ....... I forgot once and drove off. I had a polite phone call from the police the next day suggesting I return to settle up. I was red with embarrassment.
Hahaha, whoops!
@Tog Dread Computer databases. Looked up the registered owner of the car using the reg plate, got the number from either the phone book or another database. It''s not an offence to drive away without paying, as long as you pay later you're fine.
Guys, as a truly Manx person I am so so happy with your video. I wish you could come back and I'd show you around the not so well known beauty spots. As an aspiring traveller imma subscribe and see your breakdown of the world. Thank you! 🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲
Love when locals enjoy our videos! Thanks so much. We loved our time there, I hope we can return someday in a different season. -E
I just found this video and I'm from the Isle of Man at 3:52 that's the big posh school college thing where all the wealthier kids go
Mad Jack Churchill's old school sure he said hi to the wee ones ....as some one/thing
was watching over him to have a life like he did ?
I really like your channel! So fun to get to tag along on your adventures :D And I was super glad to hear that Fika has become a regular thing for you guys! Not all Fika have to be coffee and cake, sometimes a Fika can be energy drinks and mushshrooms as well ;)
All the best from Sweden!
Haha, Kyde's fika rule is you gotta eat something that requires a fork. Glad you are enjoying, by the way! -Eric
hope you really did enjoy i.o.man. and on your future travels, that you will come over again. such alot to see and do here. i was born on island and love the slower pace of life and safer place to live. happy travels kyde & eric
We liked IOM a lot, hope to return sometime! If you missed it we have a couple of other videos from our visit there too. -E
Isle of Man £'s are the same as the UK, and can be spent anywhere in the UK, same as the Scottish notes. Some shops get a bit weird though sometimes. You can also just exchange it for English notes in any Bank.
Not always the case in fact. It's kind of like with Scottish notes but probably a bit moreso (the reason usually given is that the shopkeeper can't tell if they're counterfeit because they don't know what to look for). Even some banks will refuse to change Manx notes.
Manx currency is actually not the same as GBP. The notes do not say "Sterling" for example, and are not legal tender outside the IoM. The value is tied to GBP but it's technically its own currency.
One of my favorite videos this series ,only wish you showed us where you are staying !!!!
Glad you enjoyed! I had fun editing this one too, which is always a good sign. There will be at least one more video from Isle of Man coming later this month. However I don't recall shooting about where we stayed there, it was an Airbnb where we stayed with the host and it wasn't a comfortable place to shoot as it was her home. -E
The Isle of Man is beautiful. When I die, I want a memorial like that tower built for me.
Hahaha, good idea! I want one too! -E
Loved your video - I wanna go back!!!!
You two are so adorable and your videos are such a fun watch. I can't wait for more.
Thanks! Can't wait to share more! -E
There are about 140,000 miles of public footpaths in England and Wales alone that will take you over farmland, moors, parkland and fields, and through farmyards, woods, country estates, gold courses and even people's back gardens. You might need to wear your wellies though and will need to watch out for aggressive geese, cows and horses.
That’s how petrol stations in Australia work. You just fill up and then pay. If you drive off they report your number plate to the police
omg so beautiful place
Surrey is just below London, north of where I live in West Sussex
Relatives of some of the occupants of the graveyard may not be impressed with their resting place being described as "uber creepy".
I gotta add:
WTF alien sheep?!?!
And... if you love that coastline, you NEED to come visit Nova Scotia, Canada!! Our coast is very Very similar! Especially up in Cape Breton Island!! Please come!
At the start of WWII 'enemy alians' (Germans, Austrians and Italians) where interned in Douglas on the IoM.
Obviously some stayed and their grandchildren still make great pitza.
Not just Douglas .....
Thankyou spent summers there as a kid .. loved the video ❤️🤗
Barrett's are a good brand, you need to try the wine gums. Best food reaction ever.
Ive been watching your channel for a while now, thinking this was a typical vid but you guys are really going for it. Im happy you both are enjoying yourselves 👍
Thanks!! -E
Tides come into the Irish Sea from the North and South, sometimes adding to each other and sometimes subtracting, which I believe makes for a large tidal range.
Ahhh, that makes sense. -E
We're Aussies heading to IOM TT 2020. We're coming over for 2 weeks and can't wait to explore the island. Your video is awesome, thankyou!
Awesome, that will be exciting! ENjoy it! -E
Better luck for 2021 unless President Winnie the Pooh of the Batsoup republic got bigger plans ...may not be the same but try Manx Radio website over next few days for old uploads just to give a wee taste of being there ....
It's closed next year too. 2021.
the 7 kingdoms of Mann can be seen fro mthe top of Sneafell (snowy peak)
Today is the 11th of June: Happy Birthday, Kyde!!! Have a wonderful day!!!
Haha, it's so cute people remember! I'll make sure Kyde sees this when she's home from work. -E
The IOM is semiautonomous of Great Britain, as you can spend the notes anywhere in the U.K. hope this helps.
Not everywhere, sometimes English shops will also refuse Northern Irish and even Scottish pounds... because we're crap and don't realise its legal tender.
I just found your channel looking for info on moving to isle of man. You two are awesome to watch. No stupid background music is a plus. Subbed.
Glad you found us! Thanks! -E
Super nice this is the real county side of england!
Haha, don't tell the locals there it's part of England or even part of the UK. Even though they use the NHS, hahahaha. -E
No, it isn't ! It is beautiful but definitely separate from England !
Nice video thank you for making this. I’m moving back to Iom 2020 lockdown. Can’t wait to chill out away from Uk 🇬🇧
THANK YOU for the cemetery! Please more!!
You two are absolutely wonderful. Instant subscribe after the first video. My family is from the Isle of Mann but I have yet to visit it. I'm living through your videos for today
Glad you found us! hope you can visit IOM sometime, it's a wonderful place to explore! -E
Im from the Isle of Man and I've got memories of not wanting to walk through Kirk Braddan Church and Graveyard at night on my way back home! I live just around the corner from there :D
Haha, I can see why!
I went to Isle of Man every year when i was younger love that place so glad you got to visit the Island :) so many happy memories there, weather not always kind to us ha thanks for sharing :D...... oh how you both climbed those stairs in the tower my stomach was churning!!! :-O
It's such a cool little place. I can see how the weather could be unpredictable though, we got lucky but saw a little but of that. -E
Very Nice, I can’t wait to go.
Superb video guys, there is a slaves grave in Kirk Braddan church yard, his name was Samuel Ally & he lived next to the Church as a free man after the abolition of slavery in 1834. You will end up falling in love with the place, be warned! On the way down to the Calf you past by Cregneash , an unspoiled village which is run like a living museum, there are Loaghtans there. Money, for notes to be legal tender on the mainland it has to say the word 'Stirling' on them, anything else including Manx notes you will have to exchange in a UK bank. I also give the Patchwork Cafe 5 stars, they never disappoint.
I'm new to this channel but I'm enjoying it a lot already. Have you been to Cornwall in England yet?
We didn't make it to Cornwall,no. Glad you found our channel! -E
the tower would have had floors. You can see the recess holes for the support struts that obviously are not there anymore...
Pump THEN pay? What a magical place.
thejessta. lol! Apart from a tiny number of gas stations in the biggest cites, and a handful of 'attended' stations, all of the UK is pump then pay!
All petrol ⛽ stations are like that.. You fill up and pay after
Scarlett Fox I've used a few in the UK that don't work that way. They are usually stations who've experienced a lot of 'drive-aways' (with or without temporary/fake number plates). These places make you pay first and the pump only dispenses the amount of fuel you've paid for. Such places are rare in the UK but I've found many like this in other countries.
Lokki aha, I've never experienced one of those yet
In over 30 years of driving in the UK I have only once had to pay first and that was at a motorway services.
Anyone else with me that Eric could be right out of the movie The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou...with that red beanie? lol
It may delight you to know I got that hat at a screening of Life Aquatic in Leeds! -E
16:57: About the size of the rocks, it is not really because the time they were in the water, but because a wave rolling in has more energy than the wave as it retreats, so it is capable of pushing bigger rocks up the slope, but not to drag them down the slope. So gradually the bigger rocks end up higher than smaller ones. The rocks (and a big sand bar right out in front of the point which you probably did not notice because it was cloudy) are dragged there by the effect of the waves that erode the sandy cliffs further South of you. The point is getting longer and longer, while erosion of the old glacial deposits happens along the coastline. The small extra lighthouse you probably saw has been moved in the past to correct for the rapid elongation of the beach. Another interesting fact you perhaps did not notice (because it no longer stinks): you were just half a mile away from the big refuse dump that used to exist in the island, now covered in grass and heath and restored (the refuse is still down there however); refuse is now being taken to an incinerator plant to produce energy.
The TT is annual and you weren't doing the speed limit because outside of Villages there are no limits but once in a Village the speed limit is usually 30 mph and is strictly enforced
99.9% of all gas stations in the UK are pump and pay... but don't be fooled, we are the most watched country in the world (surveillance cameras are everywhere) and the ones in gas stations have automatic licence plate recognition. Big brother is always watching!
to work out if you are allowed to do something in the UK or not, like climbing the tower, remember the UK is the true land of the Free, everything is allowed unless it is expressly forbidden. i.e. we are not France
Heh. I drove round the TT course in a Transit van once (a mate of mine moved over there and I drove his stuff over for him). One of the scariest things I ever did. Halfway up Snaefell this fog came down, I've never seen a fog like it. You couldn't see the sides of the road at the top of the mountain, and that's a narrow road...
Haha, adventure! -E
Also if you went to Jurby in the North of the island they have wild Wallabies
We spent hours looking for them but never found them!! -E
@@kydeanderic They are very shy but growing in population since the original wallabies escaped from the wildlife centre a number of years ago. They have adapted quite well to the countryside and don't have natural predators except the motor vehicles.
Can't believe you're spending two weeks in the isle of Man, very much a weekend break kinda place. Maybe I misheard.
Well, we were also working during our visit so it wasn't 2 weeks totally dedicated to exploring. That said, I'd give the island 4 days minimum to enjoy, there are a lot of neat little places to explore. -Eric
