Bikepacking the Waterford Greenway in Ireland on a Brompton Bike. The Waterford Greenway is a 46km route meandering alongside a disused railway track. This is Irelands longest Greenway and is free of cars and allows for very safe cycling. The Greenway commences in Waterford City and finishes in Dungarvan – passing 11 bridges, 3 viaducts and a 400m tunnel along the way. The track is clearly marked along the way outlining the distance from the start of the track at regular intervals. Most people complete this cycle as a day trip but I decided to make the most of the adventure and brought my tent to camp at a beach near Dungarvan (Ballinacourty Bay Beach).

Excellent Miriam ….. super presentation. Many thanks.
Beautiful shots with the drone!
You should write a book? I think your great
Fantastic video, what a great route to cycle along 😁👍🏻
Found your channel through Tom Heaney's contacts. Been binge watching your adventures. You are quite the artist with photography and especially your drone footage. You live in a very beautiful country from the mountains to the seashore. Keep up the great work!
Wow, that drone really help with the video, once again hats off, wonderful to watch. Miriam Best wishes Richard.
Hi Miriam, i have no words to describe how wonderful your vids are & how they make me feel
I just love this about YouTube, I’ve been thinking of doing these greenways with the family for some years, whatever it is you can usually find someone on here has gone to the trouble of showing you what it’s like and that it’s worth it, and this time that’s you. Maybe this year I’ll get to this. 🙏 thank you for this lovely little guide along the Waterford greenway.
Nice video and excellent choice of music 😊🎼
Great to see an Irish lady being adventurous on her brompton .A-must see for me ..Great video.❤
Hello Miriam,
Another interesting adventure on the Brompton… living near the coast myself I am always interested in seeing other coastlines… Enjoyable viewing, thank you.
Take care.
Paul,,
Great video. I did the Waterford Greenway a few weeks ago. It's a pity the whistle stop cafe uses 'disposable' crockery and cutlery. Iv gotten into the habit of bringing my own snacks now. I just can't support any business that careless about the environment.
I generally don´t watch your films in order and I eek them out so that I can savour them for longer times. They truly are a pure joy to watch and the music always beautiful and suits the atmosphere. Thank you Miriam.
I have just changed my bike to a Danish brand Velorbis, it is an easy to get onto bike and it´s design harks back to the old shop delivery bikes, nice high up handlebars, low seating and small front wheel larger back wheel easy to get on to single speed with coaster rear brake so about as simple as it gets.
I am sixty at the end of the year and the curse of the Donald's has finely hit me and forced me into early retirement, Osteo and Rheumatoid arthritis of the spine and shoulders, it is hard to walk these days though I do make myself and so this type of bike with the wonderful brooks saddle which my friends are always surprised to hear is very very comfortable is ideal as it makes me peddle at a regular cadence and when the hill is too steep I simple walk with the support of the handlebars up the hill.
I am fortunate to live within minutes of the Danube Cycle Path which runs from the Black Sea to Germany. I am about a quarter of the way on the Vienna to Tulln section which is beautiful. gentle gradients and well tarmacked it is a joy to ride and good exercise.
I count myself lucky that for me this is late onset so now I am blessed with the memories of the various pilgrim trails in Europe once walked and mountains climbed in my years in Canada and other wild places from desert to prairie and even a brief stint with the British Antarctic Survey at the South Pole walked and cycled, those memories are forever. Nature is our true home, our North Star, our calm that weathers any storm .
Watching your videos is a balm, thank you.
Ian.
Oh my god you're my hero. I live in dungarvan and am an avid cyclist. I'm getting older and time for me to slow down and get a brompton. I'm currently on the look out for one and I wanna do exactly what you're doing. I actually think I saw you that day on the greenway.
Your uploads are so good, the Irish tourist board should be paying you .
