John Creedon take on the Wild Atlantic Way in epic roadtrip

From a sunken pirate ship with a cargo of 400-year-old coconuts to afternoon tea with a movie star in his castle, broadcaster John Creedon’s three-month trek along Ireland’s coast was both wild and wonderful.

Of course, it being the Irish coast, meant it wasn’t all fun in the sun: Creedon’s hippie-era VW camper van broke down in Kinvara when the clutch cable gave up the ghost, and he ran out of petrol in Achill, because the VW’s fuel gauge wasn’t working.
