Love the dry, matter of fact, humorous commentary. You seem relaxed figuring out the routes, rules and complexities of paperwork, everything seems more complicated nowadays than when I traveled abroad! Good show mate
Used to run to fishguard on a regular basis . There was a large car park by the school in Goodwick you can stop with toilets and a tesco express for a few bits . Great if you're early for the ferry .
I used to do the Fishguard > Rosslare crossing a lot (by car) but find doing Holyhead > Dublin an easier and nicer journey now. Irelands motorway network has improved a lot so it's quite easy to get across the country from Dublin these days.
4.65m is the maximum height limit in any of the tunnels here, the Dublin Port Tunnel, the Jack Lynch tunnel in Cork and the Shannon tunnel in Limerick. Higher trucks must take alternative routes.
That’s must be a few months ago now 46 tons in Ireland too and in the service park anywhere when it’s full once others can pass ya no one will say a word
brexit has killed the trucking trade from fishguard too rosslare . most if not all freight going via rosslare too europe now goes on the direct ferrys to spain , dunkirk , le harve , cherburg and zeebrugge
Really ....so why would they make farm roads like motorways, are you a little jealous........ all the roads in the wee North are well below the standard of Eire.....
Ah,at last your back. Start getting withdrawal symptoms so long between vids. Nice to see customs drop a changer. Wonder what they will be like in November when everything changes again. New rules new congestion everybody is happy 😂😂
We normally always use that route on this occasion we went this way. Possibly the other driver insisted on that crossing, which I actually quite liked as it gives a more even split of the driving and you get to see more of Ireland.
Being 🏴 and know Fishguard so welcome too Wales my friend and im going through a Medical now and the DVLA in no Rush and as and Owner Driver with the Truck parked up us costing me 10 Grand a week now in my 5th week so lost 50 Grand so farm as its now working and i live in Swansea so youve past me my friend
@@patrickkeating7074 not quite true. UK was a net contributor to the EU, Ireland was a net recipient. Of course EU funds were available in all countries for specific projects. My remark about Ireland's roads were made from direct experience. I spent some time on the island. The roads in NI were infinitely better than the south.. Ireland was basically an agricultural country before major developments took place.
There are tolls on a lot main roads in Ireland M50 M8 M7 tolls around the bridge in Waterford. Tolls on the underpass near Dublin port. A return trip to Dublin airport would cost 12 Euro on new infrastructure and a return to Shannon airport would be 6 Euro on new infrastructure if you are around the middle of Ireland. So not true that EU paid for all Ireland new roads. And Ireland is new contributor to the EU.
@@liamjohnhawkins4212 I don't recall saying the EU paid for all motorways, I simply said that they got money for infrastructure to get the roads improved
CAN WE HAVE MORE OF YOUR GREAT VIDEOS regards Howard from Cyprus 🎉🎉
@@howardcollins6748 I’m working on it. Been very busy this last month.
Great vlog as usual mate looking forward to seeing the next one safe journey
Thank God. Another vlog. I was starting to get withdrawal symptoms!!
Don't get too comfortable there may be a fair gap to the next one once the return leg is done.

Nice One Young Man Please Stay Safe Out There
2:07 Wise words...... If you run out of land, get a ferry! Great vlog as always!
Great vid as always.
We lived in Ireland 1973-80, and used the Rosslare-Fishguard route a time or two!!

Great video I’ve never crossed at Fishguard nice to see keep videos coming

Great video thanks first time watch you video i lives just 4 miles from rosslare Sean from wexford Ireland 🇮🇪 😢

That was a quick crossing for that ferry. Last time I did it, it took us 4.45hrs. It depends on the weather too
We run at 46 tons in Ireland, been into Rosslare customs a few times and never seen so many hi vizs doing so little!!
That’s must be a few months ago now 46 tons in Ireland too and in the service park anywhere when it’s full once others can pass ya no one will say a word
@@jimjam894 Yes I’m perpetually a year behind on videos.

Don't mind the one hour lay by parking load of trucks take their 11 rest in them stay safe 👍
Great video as always are you still in Ireland and is the golf course called the K Club?
@@Tisbigs K club sounds familiar. No this was recorded last year.
Go down the side roads you find potholes and trees overgrown

You not seen all the roads here in Ireland potholes are every where
Another S.F. supporter from the wee north that thinks all of Ireland is the same as that S........HOLE...
A question from an unqualified observer ... If your final destination is just outside Dublin, why not Hollyhead to Dublin?
We normally always use that route on this occasion we went this way. Possibly the other driver insisted on that crossing, which I actually quite liked as it gives a more even split of the driving and you get to see more of Ireland.
@@DTWTheWanderingMuzungu In other words... "Why not?" thanks for the reply.
traffic in dublin is a nightmare

The roads in Ireland used to be atrocious. Then they got a load of money from the EU and bingo!
Yeah Ireland was bankrupt then they joined the EU and now they all Rich💰
So why did the U.K. not get the same, Answer they did but spent it on big boy toys......like Aircrafters to protect their fish.........
