- What better way to have fun then drench your expensive camera in a rainstorm :) The harshest test so far for the new all-weather camera rig just south of Dublin Ireland. National Park starts at about 16:10. Morning drive in Wicklow Mountains National Park, from the small Irish village of Enniskerry, up the mountain and into the Park. The Wicklow Mountains continue to be a major attraction for tourism and recreation in the Dublin area. The entire upland area is designated as a Special Area of Conservation and as a Special Protection Area. The Wicklow Mountains National Park was established in 1991 to conserve the local biodiversity and landscape.
Starting Point: goo.gl/maps/PU... .
Wicklow Mountains National Park (Irish: Páirc Náisiúnta Sléibhte Chill Mhantáin) is a 205-square-kilometre (51,000-acre) protected area in Ireland, one of six national parks in the country. The park stretches through County Wicklow as well as small areas of South Dublin and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown in County Dublin. The park is located in the Wicklow Mountains a short distance south of Dublin. It contains a variety of attractions that are popular with city dwellers seeking recreation, and areas visited by tourists and history enthusiasts.
Activities and environment
Recreational activities available within the park include walking and hiking, rock climbing, rowing, diving, limited swimming and fishing, and many opportunities for sightseeing and photography. Motor tourists may take the R756 road which passes through the Wicklow Gap. Another scenic driving route follows the historic Military Road designated R115 from the Dublin Hills south through the centre of the mountains to Laragh village.
The variety of habitats found in the park ranges through blanket bog, deciduous woods, coniferous woods, upland grassland, heath, exposed rocky areas and scree. Numerous plant species including bluebells, wood sorrel and wood anemones, woodrush, bracken, polypody fern and various species of mosses are found. Among trees common in the park are holly, hazel and mountain ash.
Some of the protected wildlife of the park are several species of bats, rare otters, and nine threatened or internationally important species of birds including the hen harrier, peregrine falcon and whooper swan.

Wow, Ireland’s country side is breathtaking!🍀🍀🍀🍀
True, but a lot of this drive was on barren and remote landscape that is mostly dead. Not much greenery or reliable vegetation in this video.
Spent five years in Dalkey growing up, remember well Killiney and Dalkey hills, the coast road to Bray and picnics in the Wicklow mountains. Magical years and the best of people. Love from England ❤️
WONDERFUL.
Jim has to stay focused on the road while we just let our minds wander and daydream!
What a lovely ride. Even if it means you can't see much of the scenery, the rain provides a lovely restful feel. It's classic Irish weather after all.
Hello 😊 if you enjoy this type of videos then definitely give my channel Sea Tranquility a go and I think you won't regret it 🙏👉 ruclips.net/video/mCVaP2bQtLE/видео.html
lovely ! Always love the quality of your videos! Brings it all to life, thank u!
_Aquele belo passeio nessas estradas estreitas, um espetáculo_
Such a beautiful ride with stunning scenery and the rain was an amazing bonus. Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic video through the beautiful (and wet!) Irish countryside.
When I visited Ireland in March 2018, I was going to drive from Tallaght, to Sally Gap (24:30), then to Powerscourt waterfall (taking a left at 24:30). My drive joined yours at the junction at 14:11 (I came from the right). However, when I got to 14:56, there was a sign saying the road to the National Park was closed because of recent snowfall! You can see the sign that warns of this issue at 15:00. I had to take the road that veers to the left at 14:56 to get to Powerscourt, so our drive was cut short by about 30 minutes. Either way, our drive to that point and after was incredible! I'd love to go back and drive through Wicklow.
Why do people (like you) love detailing their drive?!
@@evoke2976 why do people (like you) care?
Thank you for the great video.
We drive around beautiful Korea.
Have a nice day.
How funny is that. I know your videos over a years and now you showed me the road were I was biking daily even with the typical wet weather.
The sad thing is that I left Ireland. I'm in north Portugal now, so I'm waiting for N222 road movie in 4K obviously ;)
Wow what a beautiful drive!
Thanks Dallas!
@@jutah I wonder how do you mount your camera so that there no windshields wipers or rain on the lense are seen.
Literally i forgot my fasting after watching this, so fascinating.Thanks, its a nice upload, watching from Pakistan.
Beautiful scenery, interesting tour, it is even better when raining! 🙂👍👍👍
I can't quite put my finger on it, there is something truly majestic about the British Isles, it's this mystical aura that I have never noticed anywhere else in the world. The British landscape isn't known for it's dramatic mountains or huge waterfalls, but it has it's own charm that makes it truly unique. There is nowhere quite like it
Republic of Ireland doesn't regard itself as part of the British Isles, just Ireland
Sam its about time somebody rang your bell to wake you up . This is not a British landscape . It is in fact IRELAND the island of IRELAND nothing to do with Britain what so ever . SO no need to mention anything British . You could maybe do with looking at a few history books & Geography even try reading a few .
I so love the Emerald Isle☘
Amazing drive in the rain. Beautiful❤️
Yeahh, i love your videos soo much, this kind of roads are greatful, love to watching the empty road the gorgeous of Nature All the time, wherever its...
What a beautiful drive! Would love to replicate it.
And the new camera did amazing, great stuff
Thank you so much for this great drive. I've made a drive in the same kind of weather and also loved it. I hope I'll be back again soon, but for now I can look at this clip!
What a journey! Love it! Incredible zest and full of life! Thanks a lot! : )
Somewhat spooky Arena. Thank you for taking me🙂
Lovely video awesome beautiful country
ENNISKERRY where i used to play golf when I lived near there. The Wicklow mountains where we used to go walking, beautiful area to grow up in

*Ireland Simply the Greenest country in the **world.One** of the most attractive and fascinating Places in creation.Belongs more to Heaven than to Heart.*
That's mostly true, but a lot of this drive was quite barren and desolate and was very uninteresting. There are MUCH better places in Ireland than a lot of this drive was.
Now we're talking! God's country to be sure. You should try to do Holland during the Tulip season (May 7-May15 optimal).
thank you for suggesting this!!!
@@jutah You bet! That was one of my fondest memories of Europe when I was stationed in the UK after growing up in Southern California. The train from Brugge Belgium to Amsterdam went through the tulip area. I was listening to Xanadu on my Walkman lol so I have that connection forever lol.
Loved it...awesome landscape...so beautiful.. 👍👍👍
Looks so much like the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. Thank you for this video!
I am getting chills from the overwhelming beauty 🥰🥰🥰🥰
The beautiful scenery reminds me of beer and mulled ale. Very comforting 👍

Hi I forgot to tell your driving is so nice and beautiful with rain ,I enjoy with your video
Love these vids, they are really well done and show the countryside in typical weather.. yes it does rain in Ireland this much, why do you think it’s so green lol. One request though, that you label the place/town areas as you go along That would make it perfect

Depresivní 😌ale jinak krásné video.
Awesome, I'd love to see a downtown area rain video. Perhaps in a retread city so the ideal view of a new location isn't spoiled.
Lovely , manny time ive driven this road , to either do the wicklow way or to powerscourt waterfall , what dashcam do you use the quality is great
Beautiful, extraordinary and alien…
Awesome! Thanks Mr. J Utah.
Thank you sir!
Beautiful. I like this kind of weather 👍

God + Love + Kiss + Hope + Effort + Persistence = Happiness

Good to hear from you again! I recognize the profile pic!
Very nice Road.... Thanks!!!🇦🇷
Дождь, осень и горы, что может быть лучше, я вам искренне завидую.
I like this video!!!
Beautiful!!
Thanks bercey!!
Stunning views!
It's very hard to get perfect weather but always good to visit!
Very very enjoyable video. I’m intrigued to know why there are no rain drops on the camera lens/ windshield….!!
Wonderful drive in the rain. It took a bit of effort to follow it on Google Maps, by R115 I got the hang of it. Thanks
Bom dia👍 eu amo esses vídeos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷
Que bom que gostou, obrigada Maria!
Sim é Mesmo D++++++👍💯💯💯💯
Deine Videos sind wunderbar 😃🇩🇪😎
Wow beautiful
Nice drive! I wonder what kind of coating you use to prevent raindrops from forming? been trying to find a good solution myself for rain. is it super hydrophobic spray or hydrophilic?
so beautiful
it was a nice trip, thanks
Lindo demais Deus abençoa amei seu vídeo 👏 parabéns ♥️👍🇧🇷
Thank you for sharing this Video
Beautiful drive
That’s a fantastic drive and I can’t wait to go visit next month. I’m glad we won’t be driving and just taking buses. Is anyone else wondering how in the heck that is considered a two-lane road? So narrow!! My anxiety would be redlined driving that road, on the wrong side, with the steering wheel on the wrong side, lol.
Very beautiful💜
Looks like driving from Marin County, California into Iceland
Europe ended up with its forests, it's a pity to see all this empty field, there was a big forest here, they cut everything down? I'm glad we still have forests here in Brazil!
What a great driving. 👏
Beautiful
Моя любимая Ирландия!!!очень люблю вашу народную музыку!спасибо!(надеюсь вы меня не забаните.)я так,мимоходом!хоть виртуально побывать.😊👍🏞️💯жалко что без музыкального сопровождения вашей народной музыкой.
Russia is prettier thousands times
@@alexwhite5335 не знаю.меня почему то эти унылые немного пейзажи притягивают.и погода нравится такая.какая то ностальгия.еще нравится Эквадор 😂.
@@ВераМихалёва-й5е I didn't understand what u say ,could plz write in English
@@alexwhite5335 I have some kind of nostalgia inexplicable...I like these slightly dull landscapes... cloudy grau sku.and just as inexplicably like the Indians from Ecuador and their music 😂
@@ВераМихалёва-й5е yeah but I mean Russia is vast country and lot of landscapes and green area from Europe to Asia to Japan
so wonderful place
Desolate. You are a great driver, you had the road all to yourself!
Sou do Rio de janeiro Nova Iguaçu, que paisagens lindas
Surre
Wind, mist and driving rain and your camera lens never got wet! That is amazing. How did you do that?

Beautiful drive. I always wonder what kind of vehicle are you driving, it always seems to be something big, heavy and slow, like you're flying all around the world renting trucks and driving them.
Great Videos
I drive this route often, it’s often raining too ;) how did you keep your GoPro dry?
Nice driving
I might be wrong but wasn't some of the scenes of James Bond movie Skyfall shot in these locations?
Are thinking about driving in the Alps like Switzerland, Austria, Italy perhaps? I'm American BTW.
LOVE IT
in most countries when you see the trees it means you are heading towards the woods ...but in ireland it means you are nearing civilization and back into town
Great video 😊 what camera were you using?
I love Ireland
Playing Enya songs are perfect here
You Irish must be a tough lot living in those hills!
superb....
How is the windshield so dry and no windshield wipers on?? 🤔
Love Michaelxxx
One question: Where are your windshield wipers?

Thank u
Ireland is cool
Nice 👌
Which camera you used to take this video
Today I’m eating a nice steak from Ireland 🇮🇪!
fantastic
Lugar maravilhoso
Why are there no windshield wipers going
This is quite normal for much of the year.
Roads too small.
Moorland brown. Mist. Rain. Grey.
The occasional glimpse of sublime nature. Then it goes dark.
Still beautiful though.
I wonder these road as a rally stage, haha
Indeed, these roads were used for the Circuit of Ireland Rallys back in-the-day. Generally, called the Sally Gap Stage.
