Monty Halls’ Great Irish Escape

Former Royal Marine Monty Halls won the hearts of viewers and readers with his adventures living the crofter’s life on the west coast of Scotland in Monty Halls’ Great Escape. For this all-new adventure, and accompanying series, Monty and his canine companion Rueben travel to Ireland’s rugged Atlantic coast, to live and work with the locals and discover the Irish way of life. Taking up residence in the village of Roundstone, County Galway, Monty plunges himself into local life, joining his neighbours in the village pub for weekly sing-a-longs with his trusty guitar, trying out Gaelic football and competing in the gruelling 4-day Round Ireland Boat Race. But it isn’t all fun and games as Monty experiences work as a cattle farmer and lobster fisherman, supplying a local restaurant with his catch. And he goes back to his roots working as a marine biologist for a marine charity, on call 24 hours a day to rescue stranded dolphins and Orcas, survey basking sharks and tag whales with satellite tracking devices. Accompanying a major BBC series, Monty Halls’ Great Irish Escape is a great adventure story, filled with Monty’s trademark charm, humour and boundless energy.
