- This week we are in the County of Donegal, this place has the most beautiful scenery & the locals are amazing, however something didn't feel right. As we only had a couple of days left on our trip we wanted to be somewhere we could feel fully safe so we headed to DINGLE!
We have no idea why we missed Dingle off the road trip plans but we are so glad we made the decision to come! It's so good.

BACKGROUND STORY
We are steps2adventure, better known as Jordan & Annalise. We created the steps2adventure brand to inspire people to explore what the outdoors has to offer. Back in 2019 we always knew we wanted to travel, we were planning backpacking trips, train journeys.. you name it. Thankfully we came across the van life RUclipsrs! As soon as we saw this way of life we knew this was it, this is how we want to live and travel. So, we bought a van… Not just any van, she’s a 2007 LWB Mercedes sprinter van, an absolute beast!! We have spent over 2 years converting her in-between work and some little adventures across the UK.
Come along with us for some epic adventures across the UK & Europe and everyday life in-between

I’m Irish from Dublin. My favourite place in the country is Glendalough which in Irish means Glen of the two lakes. It’s in Co Wicklow which I highly recommend you check out on the way home. It is so beautiful. I am a legend. ☘️🇮🇪☘️
Glendalough is right up there with my fav places..the feeling in the place is palpable- even though it’s tourist heavy as soon as you start to walk round it’s so peaceful ❤
Yep I’m lucky enough to live 30mins drive from glendalough in a small village called Aughrim. Glendalough is beautiful especially on a warm summers day. It’s peaceful if you go at the right time, for me evenings in the summer. It is very busy with tourists during the day especially at weekends but it’s a big place and you can usually get off the main walks to quieter areas. Plenty of wildlife and beautiful views well worth a visit.
@@Rangertozero Oh you are so so lucky. Can you imagine living in Laragh? Heaven! ❤️
@@SusanBelfast11 Gosh Susan you live so far away from Glendalough. ❤️
Glendalough is very beautiful.
You're eating Walkers crisps in Ireland. TAYTO CRISPS COMON!!!😁😁
There not walkers these are knock off aldi versions I'm not posh 🤣🤣
@@Steps2adventure 😂😂
@Steps2adventure nothing to do with posh.
Taytos or Hunky Dorys all the way
Unfortunately the weather this... Summer, hasn't been great, so far, but when the sun shines on this little island it's a wee corner of heaven. Enjoy yourselves.
It’s beautiful rain or sunshine 😂🤩
Lads Donegal is a must, you only touched a tiny piece of it ! Next time, give us a shout , relatives up that way will make you feel so welcome ! Ohhh and what's with not trying Keogh's crisps.....a crime 😂😂
We will definitely be back to explore more!! I didn’t even know they were a thing until everyone is saying it 😂 we will try them next time
O’Donnells ftw.
Can’t believe you left Donegal 😲 The most giving coastline in Ireland
I am a legend
I’ve said this before, but what a great couple always entertain watching yous and aways have a good giggle. I’m sure Jordan will catch a fish one day 😂
Ohhh don't you worry wait until next week 🤣🤣🤣 the fish are coming and I don't mean the chippy ahahaha
@Steps2adventure challenge you in next 4 episode s get 1 fish luv your channel guys girls keep up great vlogs
Welcome to Ireland guys. I live here and after watching your video I want to go and visit ! Ireland is so stunning. I'm not sure if you have already been but if not, you need to try the route between Leenane in Galway to Louisburg in Mayo. Its amazing.
We don't that route it was unreal when we was there we didn't get enough time to travel 🤣
@creekyknee Gosh I've done that road so many times in so many different weather conditions and you're spot on, it's unreal!!
Coumeenoole beach was used in the film “Ryan’s Daughter”. Lovely spot.
I’ve been in the Gaeltacht in dingle it’s my favourite place on earth
Dingle is my favorite place in Ireland. Can’t wait to go back
I can’t believe you bypassed Counties Mayo and Galway! Turn back! You are missing incredible scenery and amazing places to stop over. Next time try Doolough Valley and Cross Beach in Mayo, stunningly beautiful! Safe journeys…
We didn’t 😂 we done Galway and mayo in a previous video x
I was going to say the same, but it looks like they have already been there. Also, Downpatrick, the Ceide fields and Enniscrone are worth a visit. Sea-weed baths in Enniscrone are worth a visit also.
I love both your appreciation for nature! Love watching all your adventures! X UK
Fish off the rocks when the tide is coming in. An hour before sunset in the summer is the best time, but arrive a couple of hours prior to that. Always good if there is an outcrop of rocks out from where you are. Mackerel etc will follow around the coastline and funnel through the area. You can look up tide times for any area on the internet.
Thanks mate keep an eye out for Mondays vlog 🙌💯 I have a tidal watch and it has been bang on everytime 🤣🇮🇪
On a sunny day, the sand warms up and the water at the edge gets warm as it comes in over it. When you swim out a bit you feel it get colder and when you come back to the shore, it feels like bath water. If you jumped in off the rocks it would probably still be cold.
Also, the air temperature affects your perception of the water temp. If you get wet and come out of the water, the cold air makes it far worse. Especially if there’s wind. In a sunny day, it’s just far nicer.
Ahah we love the cold water it brings out a manor of noises and screams that no one has ever heard off 🤣🤣👌
@Dreyno the gulf stream hitting head-on helps too though 🙂
What a lucky guy,Anne like is so funny and beautiful.
She sure is 💯❤️🙌
@@Steps2adventuredon’t worry Jordan I’ll say it for all the viewers you are a throbbing hunk of man love but don’t tell my wife I said that cuz she will ban man from the internet again 🤣
So sorry you didnt get to enjoy more of Donegal we have a beautiful county im so sorry you felt you had to leave.I hope you come back again and enjoy our hospitality safe travels .
Hi mate my family are from Donegal we just timed it all wrong really the local people where lovely it's the tourist that was the problem when we was there we will be definitely going back 👌🇮🇪
Jordan braking into a racing commentary was hilarious, made us laugh.
I am a legend xxx
Brilliant video and such beautiful scenery!! Hope all is well, half care of yourselves
Thanks so much you toooo 🙌💯
''I am a legend'' - Welcome to The Kingdom (County Kerry) Great content. Keep it up !
Thanks so much 💯🙌🇮🇪
Thank you for the Irish videos guys, brilliant to watch. We’ll be there in a couple of weeks ❤ If you want to get the sand of your feet easily, buy some cheap talcum powder. Sprinkle all over your sandy feet. It dries them instantly and the sand falls off. Your feet smell nice too lol … safe travels
Thanks for the tips!
Just back from Ireland. The water was bloody freezing! Waterford, Cork, Kerry and Clare. Mayo we didn’t venture in . Water in Cumbria ( where we live) is like the Med compared to the Atlantic off the west coast of Ireland. Beaches in Ireland are spectacular though.😊
You get used to the water temps it's not half as cold as it was in Scotland 🤣🤣 it's like a hot bath to Scotland
I am a legend ! What a cracking video guys, big thumbs up ! Lilly was loving those beaches, your last park up was quite something, as we say in France "Nickel" pronounced "Niickelle" meaning 👍👍 xx
Thanks so much you sure are a legend lilly loves beaches she goes crazy ahaha 🤣 xx
I am a legend. Really enjoying your vlogs.
I did the wild Atlantic way Dublin to Galway then down to Kerry,Cork,Waterford,Wexford. It was wonderful and now you guys make me want to do it again..
Looking forward to more vlogs.
It was amazing honestly 👌💯 can't wait to go back we miss the place already 🇮🇪
In county Laois, loving your Irish videos.i am legend.
a lovely and funny couple love watching you
Thanks so so much 😊👌
Cracking video, can’t believe you seen a shark 🦈 😂.. Dingle is really nice, I am a legend 🙌
'I am a Legend'. Thanks for sharing another great adventure
Thanks so much 🙌
Great video guys... love the area you're exploring.. need to get back soon..
Love your funny chsts together, a grestvteam enjoying your lives with little Lilly, her happy dancing is fab🐾🐾😎😎🥰
Thanks so so much for your kind words glad your loving the vlogs 😊💯
Great vid guys. Starting watching ye a few weeks ago. I'm from Cork, south of Ireland. We have a camper like urs. We love it
Awesome! Thank you!
I am a Legend.
Get to Waterford and explore the beaches there!!!
Summercove, near Skibbereen, for the basking sharks, but I don't think we've had a warm enough summer this year tbh.
The basking sharks were spotted at that beach in Dingle 3 days after we left 🥺🥺🥺 I think we were just unlucky!
I am a legend well that’s what I tell myself in the mirror every morning. Loving this Ireland trip. Looks stunning ashame that some melts have to cause issues but as they say go with your gut. Stay safe 🎉
Hahahah we do the same 👀😂 thanks so much for watching 🩷
Hahahah we do the same 👀😂 thanks so much for watching 🩷
Another great one, guys, you could have called it JAWS🤣. I went to Silver Strand beach when i was 11 or 12 and I'm 68 now and it stands out as one of the best beaches I've been to.
That's a good title il keep that for next time 😂😂 the beaches over here are just insane 🙌🇮🇪
I am a legend. Love watching you two and lily ❤
Donegal is fabulous but July is definitely not the best time go. May or early June May be better. Silver Strand at Malin Beg is a hidden gem. Glad you went back to Dingle. It’s lovely to see you enjoy Coumeenoole beach so much. Great background music.
Thanks so much we lived ireland so much Donegal was amazing but unfortunately to many disrespectful tourists
'I am a legend' fantastic Vlog guys, some of those shots were breathtaking.... What a place, enjoy 😊
Thanks so much it was amazing out in Ireland 🇮🇪
I,m from Donegal, its a shame you didn't have an enjoyable time. In the summer there are a lot of people around, some dont have good road manners, and it makes it akward for larger vehicles. I hope you can come back again we are generally friendly and like a yarn.
Jaysus. I’ve seen it all now. Someone from Donegal complaining about other people’s driving 😂
It’s like the Dukes of Hazard up there.
@@Dreynoyes but not Donegal people, it’s the people who visit and don’t care.
@@graeme__allen Donegal drivers are atrocious. Aggressively tailgating, passing in dangerous places and generally driving too fast. They’re famous for it. And it’s no coincidence that there’s been so many tragedies on Donegal roads. I live in the next county and I know Donegal like the back of my hand so I know what I’m talking about.
@@Dreyno a broad sweeping statement you're making, what county are you from yourself
@@Fireman9ify Why do you want to know what county? So you can make some up some BS about how people from there are worse? Away with ye.
Donegal people seem to be oblivious to their well deserved reputation for boy racers, souped up cars and atrocious driving.
omg horse racing and coffee tasting like old engine oil. Not to mention the rubber rock shark 🤣🤣.You 2 are the next best stand up comedy couple.
🤣🤣 Glad our vlogs make you laugh wait till Monday that's a Caulker
Amazing views. Stunning coves. Loving your energy and positivity as always. Great content.......I am a Leg End......😉👍
Thanks so much your the legend for watching 💯👌🇮🇪
I am a legend, gutted Donegal didn’t work out, a fantastic county, we were in dingle 1st week in July and parked up on the same spot amazing location. Never saw any basking sharks either.
We will revisit Donegal later in the year I think it was bad timing on our behalf really 🤣
@@Steps2adventure is worth another go as is Northern Ireland. need any ideas feel free to reach out.
when you're back start at galway and go south to east,if your just fishin with lures bring a lighter spinning rod and a smaller reel and plenty of bass lures for south and east coasts,if you have beach rods i would defo bring them as well, there is plenty of little isolated coves and beautiful beaches you can have all to yourself you'll be spoiled for choice,warmer drier weather better sun rises.
i wouldn't bother with dublin and that's comin from Dub,The north is also beautiful but you really need to time it right going there parts can still be a bit rough around the edges.
Wait until next week 👀👀👀
Manchester lad here, living in Co. Longford.
Amazing mate bet your loving it ahaha 💯🙌
I am a legend
Great vid, Ireland is stunning
You sure are a legend thanks for watching 🙌🇮🇪
Gorgeous scenery guys, great video, you two are so good together, thanks for sharing your travels, shame about the cave.......and I am a legend😆
Thanks so so much 💯🇮🇪🙌
I watched it all so I must be a legend. So good!!
Lovely couple. Shite angler! Welcome to Ireland. Hope to see you again. Travel safely and keep on keeping on! Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Will watch out for more. God Bless the three of you. Slàn libh
Thanks so much and you wait until next week Jordan redeems himself 🤣👌
Another great vlog guys. Loving the Ireland tour and it's looks bloody amazing. I am legend👍
It's been unreal honestly you sure are a legend for watching and supporting our channel 😊💯👌👌
I'm a legend. Great video guys. Was hoping to see you when was down my way in mizen.
I'm a legend!! Love you too 😂 always having fun.
Great video of our beautiful little island. Its all out there just go and explore. Weather here is crazy this year. I got sunburn tiday but an hour later absolutely soaked. We are irish so we just get on with it. New subscriber here. Ye are legends
Atleast you get all the weathers in one day!! It’s better than solid rain 😂😂 thanks for watching
Great video. I was weeing a little bit because i was laughing so much. Prime example in the last moments when Annelise was gesturing behind you. Funny informative and always entertaining cheers
Thanks so much glad your liking the vlogs and there making your day better 💯🙌❤️
Be careful were you swim and walk,, waters can be seriously treacherous ,, dangerous rip tides
Yeah there’s usually signs up! We found a few in Dingle had strong under currents so we couldn’t swim
Dingle very much reminiscent of Cornwall. Cool vid 🫶🏻
Thanks for watching 🤩
I doubt you'll catch any fish off a sandy beach like that, unless a flat fish. Get out on the rocks, two hours before an incoming tide. Sprats are driven in and the mackerel and pollock follow them.
I caught about 3 sea bass straight off a sandy cove just like that but there's tones of pollock in Ireland ahah
I am a legend 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video guy's, Ireland is pretty special, much the same as here in Cornwall 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks so much 🩷
The 3 legends in a van
Thanks 💯👌❤️
Hi guys loved this weeks vlog poor Jordan hope his back is better now loved the racing commentary laughed so much your a nutter lol have a great week both of you 👍👍👍
Ps I’m a legend lol
Thanks so much 🙌 his back is on the mend now slightly 😂
Dingle looked amazing + so did that BBQ! 🌅🍔
looking fwd to next weeks episode... 😎
Thanks so much it's a Caulker 💯🙌
I’m a legend
And I’ve got my van running again 🎉mot’d🥳and serviced 🎉still weary about driving it so been down the borders a couple of times and it’s been great driving around again.just need to get a bit further 😂 north away from the city.
Hope to see you guys up in Scotland again.
Atb John
Spot on its great you have your van back on the road I'm sure we will be back in Scotland sooner or later 🙌💯
Love you guys. Your videos are always entertaining and a funny and you look like your having the time of your lives and a great couple. Keep living the dream
Oh and I am a legend btw
Thanks so much
''i am a legend'' you guys are so easy to watch, subbed :)
Thanks so much 💯🙌
Your best chance of seein Basking sharks is probably Achill - Keel beach.
If you're lucky enough to gte a decent day, it's Glorious.
Fingers crossed we see them next time we go 🙌 ireland was amazing 🇮🇪
What is going on with your crisp selection? If you're in Ireland and not loaded up on Tayto Cheese & Onion, you're really missing out....
They are on the list for the next time we get back out there 🤣🤣
@@Steps2adventure home and bargain have them
I am a legend.........sometimes..... love your adventures
Another excellent vlog. That beach where you had your bbq looked immense so beautiful ❤️
Thanks so much for watching 🤩
Hi ya did u guys find dunquin pier is probably the most beautiful spot there .. and u will see Dolores Reardon home on the hill there too as u drive in to the village 😬
There was so much to see but we had 14 days and done 2200 miles so didn't really get the chance to fully enjoy it but next time we will be stopping for a while 💯👌
Cracking video guys
im a leg end🤣 great to see my beautiful country on youtube, really fantastic videos guys. god bless safe travels.
Thanks so much your home country is absolutely beautiful and the people In it are even better aga🇮🇪💯💯
@@Steps2adventure ❤
I really enjoyed that. It looks like you’re having a good time. 👍
Thanks so much for watching
Tesco call Ireland treasure island because they jack up there prices so much ...
Your not wrong ahah
I am a legend, love your vids guys
I am legend !
Course i made it to the end 🤣 my favourite couple to watch on youtube by far ! These vlogs are just unreal !
I dont reckon jordan could catch a fish if he worked in a chippy 🤣🤣
Cant wait for next week 👏
Thanks so much for watching! Hahahaha just you wait until next week 👀😂😂
@@Steps2adventure I hope it's a shark or an orca !! 🤣 jord will sprinkle some spices on it and throw it on the bbq 🤣
Sorry forgot to say it was in the early 90s when I /we did the trip
I am a legend.
Nice video guys. 😊
Hears hoping you spot a shark before you leave [and not another rock 😀] Another great vlog, some stunning drone shots - I am a legend
Thanks so much you sure are a legend 💯🙌
You should've went to Murder Hole Beach at the top of Donegal. Best beach in Ireland
We will keep that on our list for next time
Vrty pritty lovely couple god bless them both ,
Thanks so much 😊💯
Another brilliant video!
Those beaches look amazing……
Oh, I am a legend lol
Unreal over there ahaha you sure are a legend 🙌💯
If your in dingle make sure to go to skellig ring on the ring of kerry route the other side of the bay portmagee
We’ve already left now but we will definitely be back to visit all your recommendations 🤩
I live in Donegal and agree the tourists can be obnoxious especially the ones driving camper vans taking over the roads and parking in wrong places but don't let them put you off the locals are who make Donegal what it is plus the stunning scenery and hidden beaches and coves. Come back when the masses of tourists are gone and take time out to relax and explore.
We sure will Jordans family where born in Donegal we will most certainly come back to Donegal in the future 💯🙌🇮🇪
Both Victoria and I our legends.
You sure are 🇮🇪💯
We are Legend (again)
I am a legend 😂
Love watching you guys! ❤
Thanks so much 🩷
Great video! I may have bumped into you on your travels. You didn’t park on Duinin pier (North Dingle peninsula) in early July, did you? I have a practically identical Bichon Frise too - also a legend, named Millie!! 😂 Also plan to travel and explore in a camper van when I retire (hopefully with Millie). Keep up the great work! And for goodness sake, eat Tayto crisps in Ireland!!
😂😂 Everyone says eat tayto crisps ahahah we just had aldi ones in the van so that's why we was eating them 😂😂 you may have seen us parked up I can't quite remember when we was last there
@@Steps2adventure Tayto Cheese and Onion..... Mmmmmmm......
You passed the cliffs of Moher, Doolin , the Burren and the Aran Islands.
Twice 😮
Ahaha we only had 14 days to travel 2300 miles and you gotta save something for next time 🤣 more of a reason to go back
@Steps2adventure I understand you are making videos and that's great but the only way to experience ireland properly is slowly. It should literally take about 5 years to do the wild Atlantic way.
Start in Cork and reach south kerry. South kerry to clare and the aran islands year 2. .
North clare to connemara year 3 galway to donegal year four
North Coast year 5
Rushing about rules out walks, meeting people , going to trad sessions, going to see hurling and gaelic football
Village festivals.
Ie going places to meet the people

I am a legend. I’m so sorry you couldn’t stay At Assaranca it’s such a cracking spot & there’s some amazing spots nearby. But Dingle is fabulous too 😊
Next time we will definitely stay! Thanks for watching

We are in Scotland at the moment and we have just done a round trip of 236 miles, we have been to Loch Lomond, Glencoe and Fort William which has been absolutely fantastic, we appreciate your blogs which helped us with our trip.
We are in a caravan which is at Strathclyde Caravan and Motorhome site so we can go out exploring.

Great vid lads.
Check out some of the beaches in Wexford on you way home. It's known as Sunny South East.
We will have to save them for next time but what a country ireland is it's unreal 🙌🇮🇪
@@Steps2adventure I know I'm biased, but I think so too. Personally, I've never we been to Scotland. It's also a place of rugged beauty, steeped in history. It's on my to do list 🥳🥳
I just found you tonight you have a new fan. Your videos is so much fun I really enjoyed it. Hope I say her name right ellie is so so adorable. ❤ lots of love from South Africa
