A few months back, The Boardroom’s Wolfy, Graham Glennon, Derek Johnson and Eoin Shiel loaded up for a trip to Ireland to check out some spots and get a good vacation in before the shitty weather hit. This is the video from the trip that they were able to film during their time on the road. It looks like it was a hell of a good time! Take a peek!
“So, after almost long enough for it to drift in to myth and legend, here is the Boardroom family holiday, 2012 – “The Mess Out West” or “Two old men, a cripple and Wolfy.”
Just before the winter set in, 4 of us hopped into the van and headed off towards the west to see what we could find in Galway, Mayo and anywhere else along the way. The only plans aside from that were three days of driving, riding the bikes, camping anywhere we could find and surviving on veggie burgers/sausages and beer from the cooler in the back. Between Wolfy, Graham Glennon, Derek Johnson and myself (Eoin Shiel) we figured we’d have a good trip no matter what happened.
We had unexpected sunshine at times, were rained on, we slept on a beach, rode everywhere we could find and on our last night slept in a roadside shed to avoid a heavy storm… only to be woken up by a rather frightened old man at 4 in the morning…
Despite Wolfy nearly getting us run out of a small Mayo town for ordering anything other than Guinness in the local, it was one of the best Irish trips we’ve ever been on. Good times on the road with old friends cannot be beaten.
Anyway, to the lads – sorry this took so long to put out, but the days of computer meltdown’s are (hopefully!) a thing of the past!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks to:
The Boardroom
The Barstool Crew for coming out for a session or two
Nurofen plus. I’d have been left shivering in the van, clutching my foot without you.
