Most of the Viking longboats that have been recovered, have been proven to be built from Irish trees. But that's the longboats, they built several types of boats for rivers and shit, so they may have covered most of Europe and Eastern Russia before venturing across the water. Then too, England was pretty primitive, so maybe better plunder could be had on the continent.
