"I looked at them they look like brakes" Hahaha you lunatic 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@SaffySprocket shame you missed Galloway forest though.I was there last Summer on my motorbike alone and it was fantastic .Slipping into the hills behind Dumfries is great and joyous .Also not to far from England
I think ignorant is the word you were looking for!
@@andrewsimpson5436 In your case, however, it's clearly insecure moron.
Ok im going to subscribe ... but only if you marry me lol 😍 im in love with all your about especially the camping in my scottish homeland 😁
I’m a 32 year old bloke who’s had a bike license since 2015 and not once have I had the guts to go do something like this on my own! Take my helmet off to you! Well done for persevering even after a few hiccups! 👍
I got my first motorcycle a month ago. Bought a 125ccm vespa last year spring, saw how much fun is it, decided to made the motorcycle licence last fall. And this after 15 years of car driving only. How did i miss the fun so many years. Damn. Well better late than never, so here i am, first season on a real bike, next week i am doing the 1000km service. Got so much energy, already planned out some routes, can't await for it to begin. Never thought of wild camping, so i guess i put that on my bucket list. Glad youtube brought me here. GL HF.
Amazing! I actually really want a vespa 😅 and defo get some camping done! It's great fun!
Great video! I don’t think the nervousness of travelling solo is just a woman thing. I did my first solo motorbike tour round the NC500 as a mate pulled out at the last minute, for me the scary bit was whether I could stand my own company (not a safety concern) and absolutely loved it - ever since I’ve just toured on my own as it was a revelation - you can just do everything at your own pace and how you like it. Plus as a biker you will always find friends on your trip.
Love it you give it a go,even after your issues with your brakes and hand you still kept soldiering on,cheers from Australia...
I admire you tremendously for first of all loving bikes and then go on such a great adventure. You GO girl!
Thank you so much!!
You're so brave, riding that far and then solo camping. Ive not yet got the courage to but you're inspirational. ❤
Thank you so much 🥰
Greetings from the USA! I enjoyed the video and always love to see people getting out there and enjoying nature by motorcycle! You did a fine job and I’m sure you learned lessons and gained valuable experience. We learn by our failures big and small so well done! I look forward to more!
Wow, what a beautiful place to camp, have a great time and thank you for sharing it with us, hope the hand heals quickly for you.
Thank you so much 💓 its Loch Lomond in Scotland
I won’t lecture……so glad you have an adventurous spirit……suggestions from personal experience….test not “look at” bike systems….carry a small first aid kit….I’ve said your an inspiration in the past. I want you to stay so.
Ah yes! I still need to piece together a first aid kit! And thank you 😊
Wow ! totally brilliant !
Your optimism makes me so happy! I lived on my motorcycle after covid happened. I set up a hammok and tarp. I totally understand the feeling of being alone. And camping in places that you're probably not supposed to but thats the adventure and the excitement. You keep enjoying life this was great to watch
You are an amazing woman, so much courage to travel so far and camp where ever you find a spot. Truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing all your adventures ❤
I've just finished editing my first solo wild camp and I absolutely loved every second of it. It's not just women that get anxious about stuff like that. I was properly nervous about my little one night adventure but once I saw how beautiful it was that faded away.
Get it published 🙂
Drop me a reminder when it's live! Curious to see how you got on too!
@@EpicMotorcycleAdventures it's already uploading but it's 16.2gb so it's taking it's time. You could've cooked an egg on my phone after editing 🤣.
@@CuriousGoose you edit on your phone? Nutter 😜
☠️😭 editing on your phone. God damn son. That's some patience
Well done saffy things went wrong but u still kept going and kept ur lovely smile on ur face
Thank you so much 💓
Lovely video, full of much needed positive vibes and infectious smiles.
You are so kind
As a teen people thought I was weird (I am) as I used to go out in the middle of the night and walk around the mountains and old railway lines here in Wales. I love the peace and silence of the dark. Great vid as ever. Ignore the down thumbs there are always a few idiots.
Nature isn't the thing to be feared, its wild humans in nature that are scary
please be carefull in how one says the word idiot.
@@SaffySprocket if you get the chance tour Europe it is amazing on a motorcycle. I have been going for 15 years until covid put a stop to it
Love that bit of drone footage that flies away from you sitting in the tent. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow well done . This will be the start of many camping trips you do brilliant.
Thank you so much 💓 already planning my next trip
Thank you for the adventures in video of you and Rocket, I watch every week, you are funny and very brave, it brightens my week watching you, keep safe and well done Saff and Rocket on the awesome videos x
Thank you so much 💓 it's so lovely to hear that! Ride safe
Thank you, I will my bikes are used for work and pleasure, and all year round, you and Rocket ride safe,and thank you again for such great videos 😊☺️
Good watch love these camping /bike videos
I love Scotland, I've not long come back from a 1500 mile ride up there in March, it was a tad wet but absolutely lovely. It's really nice to hear about the anxiety you had before hand but still brave enough to face that head on. Well done. Your videos are great to watch, thank you for the content
Thank you so much 💓 and yeh, when my brakes stopped working, part of me was secretly relieved ahahahaha
Excellent video looking forward to part 2 👍😁
Thank you so much 💓
That drone view was so pleasing to watch ❤
Wow Saffy what an amazing view from your tent, that is a spectacular view for sure, i do hope your hand was ok what an amazing strong person you are. Ride safe Saffy 😊
Yes, thank you and ride safe too!
.......besides the hot scald, what an adventure! 🤩🏍
It was great! And thank you so much 💓
Just two vids in and I've subscribed, your amazing, such an inspiration to all. Keep up the great work! Love your attitude
Well done you, cracking spot. Love the drone shot when it pulls away from your little camp.
Thank you so much 💓 I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video
Brilliant stuff looking forward to the next installment, great filming and editing
Thank you so much 💓
Such a great video, it's so adorable how excited you are to get your camp set up! Finally getting on two wheels & have been looking for adventure inspiration, which you have provided, thank you :-)
Saffy I've been riding 50 years been allover done all sorts. Ive never pre checked brakes and once rode with broken fingers. I live on the west coast of Scotland, good on ya , its character building
I know I shouldn't laugh, but the vast majority of timesi just find it so funny when things go wrong 😂 🤣
Yet another cracking vlog Saffy. Glad you found a beautiful spot to camp on Loch Lomond it is a stunning Loch. Look f we to your Skye one too. Love to see the roads we take for granted from another bikers perspective 😎🙏🏴❤️
Thank you so much 💓 it was a great trip, can't wait to post the rest of the videos!
Stunning scenery. Im very glad you persevered with the trip, as we got as much out of it as you have. P.S. hope your hand gets better soon. If you keep doing this stuff, I and many others will be very happy to enjoy it with you.
Hand is much better now thank you 😊 and I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Hello Saffy, thank you for taking us on your travels, I love your channel and I've subscribed 👍
Thank you so much 💓 I'm so glad you enjoyed the video 📹
Love the video, and well done for just saying 'sod it, I'm doing it' and then to crunch those motorway miles, true British spirit young lady. Also, thanks for including the miserable riding through Glasgow, with all it's roadworks, how I miss doing that.........not. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your adventures.
Oh man, the M8 is 🤢🤢🤢🤢 next time I'd be tempted to go up via Perth and cut across
Yes Saffy, Perth then up to Dalwhinnie and across to Fort William is a lovely ride.
Such a brave lass, well done. Giving us all a kick up the arse to have adventures on our bikes. Well you have me!. Thanks for your fab vlog.
Thank you so much 😊😊😊
My Roadskin FB subscription of all things brought me back here.... Good on you Saf....Bold of you to embark on this- a lot of confidence building & mind cleanse value in what you have done......Good production too - the drone launch felt like a turning point, for you & your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Take care of your Health and Enjoy your tour Saffy🥰
Thank you so much 💓
Great vid as always enjoyed it
Thank you so much 💓 💗
Well done for persevering Saffy 💚
💚 Thank you so much 💚
What a great piece
Thank you so much!
Well done Saffy, another great video, Loch Lomond is only about 30-40mins away from me so we take these roads for granted, the scenery is always just so amazing, Tyndrum to Fort William is stunning and then Fort William up the west coast is just absolutely dream land.
Look forward to seeing next weeks video
Ps, absolutely love a camping trip, people that often say they are scared to go wild camping I always say it, somethings more likely to happen in a populated city than out in the country, go and do it and have a great time doing it.
people in certain areas in Scotland are getting a bit fed up with “wild campers” though not the real wild campers but what we call Dirty campers, the ones that ruin it for the rest of us, have a read of the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, its got lots of great info.
Ah yeh, I can imagine, I pulled up to a few laybys and they were covered in litter. It was very sad to see that people could be so lazy, especially when there are bins very near by. There's absolutely no excuse to litter
@@SaffySprocket yeh it’s horrible to see, unfortunately it’s not just litter the lazy/dirty campers leave that’s upsetting locals 💩
Don’t let it put you off though, Scotland is an amazing place and the roads are absolutely epic 😁😁
Remember when I told you clean your bike? When you do, you get up close to it and see if there is any damage or broken parts. When I told you to learn about suspension damping and preload, that's because all the weight on the back lifts the front up. It also puts weight on the subframe (the frame under the seat) it can crack and break. As the weight on the back goes down, the rake angle of the forks goes longer slowing the steering down which make you go wide on corners.
Its so nice to see some one loving riding there bike and having an adventure. Your a very intelligent person and should be proud of yourself doing these things. Was that a Star wars t-shirt? lol
Yes it was a star wars shirt ahahha 🥰 I'm booking in for a general maintance course soon! Going to start learning how to look after it properly
I can't believe you're doing that alone. Fair play to you. The drone footage is great.
Thank you so much ❤️ I really enjoy travelling by myself 😭
I’ve just discovered you! I’ve not wild camped up in Scotland for ten years…..you’ve made me decide to do it again this year!
Yay! That's excellent news! 👏 just double check that some of the areas aren't permit areas now! A lot of the rules have changed recently
Excellent vid.
Wild camping is a skill.....practice maketh perfect.
Good place to tour the highlands, foggy fun.... Good logic place your tent near the edge giving yourself the best chance to a prowler.... good video saffy..
Thank you so much 💓 💗
Safe travels! Hope your hand heals nicely! 🤗
It did heal eventually 🥰 thank you so much 💗
That's good to hear Saffy. Whenever your down our way, South Leicestershire, let us know and you can pop round for a coffee and a bite. All the best John & Penn.
Sounds like a plan :)
Love the drone footage, well done, amazing.xx
Thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed the video 📹 😊
Well done Saffy ~ stoic in the face of adversity 👍🙂
Thank you so much 💓 💗 💛 💖
What a beautiful video! I so love you bike too. Even though I was born in South London, Scotland is where I call home. I'm looking to do my CBT test for the first time in a few months here in Glastonbury, so am nervous but so excited at the same time! You take care, and we'll done on you're first wild camp! X
WOW !!!!! from Minute 13 to 16 was so touching to me........... You are a awsome Person.
Bludy ell you could not wait to get on a adventure so early out of Winter.Hope you had a relaxing time
🤣🤣🤣 couldn't wait litterally
Fantastic location for camping with amazing views, you are very inspiring. In all your videos I've watched I've never really noticed just how beautiful your eyes are maybe its because I watched it on a 55" tv instead of my phone. Cant wait for the next one
Thank you so much 💓 and I'm so glad you're enjoying my content 💕
What a cracking view. Love your channel and your adventures. Ride safe!
Thank you so much and I'm so glad you enjoyed the video 📹 ride safe!
Love the drone footage and the accompanying music. You are quite the film maker.
Thank you very much!
Your amazing Saffy 💪👍
Great work. 1st video of yours I’ve seen. You’re out doing it and overcoming problems. Amazing filming and video production. Well done.
Thank you so much 💓 💗 💛
Brilliant vlog,hope your hand heals soon,take care and safe travels 💖
Thank you so much and it's healing just fine!
@@SaffySprocket 👏🏻💖
Nice camping spot Saffy and glad you enjoyed the vista. Take care of that hand, burns can go sceptic. Looking forward to the next one.
It's doing much better thanks! It went a little scabby after but I treat it with antiseptic 3x a day and moisturiser frequently and it seems to be healing well
Only you could make getting coffee and adventure. Lol. Hope your hand recovers quickly. Burns are serious so I do feel for you. Always waiting to see what adventure Saffy can get into next!
Medical records as long as the great wall of China I do 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant vlog Saffy, Backing music was tremendous
Thank you so much 💓 I'm so glad you enjoyed the video
Cracking video and content lovely camp spot
Fantastic well done. Id love to wild camp in Scotland and i now will!
Great video
You are an inspiration to us all love your adventures keep up the good work
Thank you so much 💓 💗 💛
Oh my gosh, you are such a remarkable and determined lady, so respect your drive and determination.
Ignore the negative comments, your a breather of fresh air and a remarkable lady.
Greetings and respect from Inverness 😁
Thank you so much for your kind words 💓 💗
Well done for coping with and sorting the brake problem. Even old hands get unexpected problems like that. In 2016 on my second day of a 2 and a half week trip, my front brake went spongy, and within a few miles failed. It had a tiny fluid leak that I had not been able to see. It was a Sunday in a sparsely populated area of Aragón in Spain. I went about 40 miles before eventually finding a petrol station that had brake fluid available. That was a temporary solution, that worked for the rest of the holiday (about 2,800 kms). Fitted a new master cylinder when I got home. At that time I had been a biker for 45 years, and owned that bike for 10 years. The bike was 29 years old. Still got the bike. Currently trying to make plans for a big trip this summer. Not sure where yet. Maybe Scotland (I live in the very south of Spain).
Oh man, that's so scary 😨
Well done, you got everything back in the bags
I'm quite skilled at getting it all packed away after a year of practice :D
Things don't always go as planned. Thats part of the adventure and you have a great attitude. Subbed and wishing you safe and wonderful travels.
THat's so true :D
Was waiting for you to fall into the river knowing how prone you are to miss adventures . You did surprise me Saffy . Eepenjoying yourself as much as I enjoy watching your blogs . Take care ride safe Mal in Australia
Ahahaha there's a few clips of where I nearly did! I'll have to throw them on Facebook 🤣
sending support from someone who loves riding as well. ride safe saffy!
Thank you so much 💓 💗 💛
Just stumbled across your video - I love your honesty and being open about what you don't yet know ... biking, like most things, can attract too much ego sometimes - although generally it's a great community. I totally understand not wanting to change your bike ... my first 'big bike'and I shared many an emotional trip ... it became a real friend of sorts! Safe riding and keep it shiny side up!
Thank you for this. I always really appreciate people watching my content and taking the time to let me know what they think, so I'm so happy that you're enjoying it. What was your first bike out of curiosity? 🙂
@@SaffySprocket it was a slightly old (but new to me) Fazer 600. I can still remember my first ride on it ... I felt like I was riding the world's most powerful bike! I never thought I'd become attached to an inanimate object but there's a mystery to riding that only bikers understand. Hope the channel is going well ... your videos are a great wind down after a busy day ... thank you!
New rider here - I'm only on a 2001 CG125 at the moment, but even though my bike is small i'm still so attached to it. At 31 and being without a driving license, it's been my ticket to freedom. Though I plan on doing my Mod 1 in the coming months.
I don't know why hearing you play Saria's song was so on brand 😆. This looked like an amazing experience. Well done, you're so brave!
🤣
Great video📹 really enjoyed it, keep up the great work. Cheers 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you so much 💓
Another good story and video. Keep them coming. I've not packed a tent on my 'bike for over ten years, preferred B&Bs. Will be trying a new tent this year.
I definitely think camping takes one or 2 trips to get into the swing of it, I hate the switch from hotels to camping, but by the 3rd trip of summet, I'm loving it!
Beautiful place and experience for sure
It really is! Hope you enjoyed the video
@@SaffySprocket definitely inspiring
Wow that tent is cool 😎
I love it :D
that tent looks really good! keep up the great work on your channel 👍
It's the Lone Rider MotoTent :D and thank you so much 💓
@@SaffySprocket yeh ive been looking at that tent either a lone rider or a wing man of the road tent not sure what to go for tho lol
WRENCH COFFEE STIRRER! I love it.
🤣🤣🤣 the passion is in the details
Love your tent!!
Thank you so much 💓 it's the Lone Rider Mototent
@@SaffySprocket it's fab. you had me thinking you had a massive tent. Then pushed rocket into it. 😂 So cool.
Ayyyye it's fab when you wanna be low-key with a bright bike!
Ats my play ground lol! Loch lomond invereray, oban, green welly, calinder, love it!
Years ago I done loch oich Scotland good times, beautiful place that to stay.
Done lots of wild camping over 50 years and to save time , I use wayfarer meals , there readymade boil in the bag ( other makes available , so you can eat them straight out the bags , then use the hot water for a cuppa + no washing up 👍😊😊. Getting a bit old to camp nowadays but had some great times . You’ll enjoy all the adventures ahead , happy riding and camping 😊😊😊👍👍
Honestly boil in the bag food is so under rated when it comes to camping, its such a time saver
We have a different definition of wild camping here in the northern USA, but your view from the tent was enviable! Great videos!
Ah yes! In England, Wild camping is completely illegal. So if you want you pitch a tent, legally you are suppose to stay on a camp site. However there are areas where its tolerated. In Scotland, wild camping is completely legal and protected so its the only place in the UK you can wild camp. However, it's a very small island, I think people forget this, you're always within 10km of a town.
cool video's!... Thankyou!, you have given me ideas for my motorcycle trip around Tasmania camping this coming summer....also, it's a good thing you have the phone to get the text message from the police officer following you to tell you you a going a little fast for the area lol
Girl i just bumped in to you searching things to see inhere.First video and luv yaaaa already hahaha.Be brave mi dear and cant wait to hear about you next.Howdy from romania
Good on ya 👍 I’m setting off Sunday to Galloway, Mull, Skye, Ness & Lomond back to Galloway 🏍💨🏕 can’t wait! Enjoy Saff be careful & ride safe…
Thank you so much! And oh man, there's a proper fab road on thr Isle of Skye, unpaved, followed the yellow tourist route, goes from left to right after the dinosaur footprints, honestly the funnest Road I've ever tried
Inspiration❤❤
I love the tent what a great idea having a place to park the bike, it's not just women who feel nervous camping in the wilderness, men do too, I remember my first night in a tent in the woods, I was awake most of the night listening to the various noises and in the dead of night someone walking up the track, was it a mad axeman?😜 But now I live full-time in a campervan I don't even think about it. Have fun.xx
Ahahahha yes! I woke up a few times!
Well done :) Looks fantastic. Reminds me alot of Norway.
Thank you! Cheers!
First video of yours I came across by chance. I’m going to love following your channel. I’m planning on doing a trip next year around the UK on a 50cc 😳. Poor you with your hand , made my eyes water.
Welcome aboard! Sometimes bad things happen and that's ok!
Saffy, great little vid, i accidently came accross your video, nice one. I've been a biker all my life, and love exploring, bikers are not as scary as you think, you'd be surprised, so don't be afraid to ask any for help or advice ! my partner & i will be on sky etc again in september, we love it up there, you will too i'm sure. stay safe and we look forward to seeing more of your vids, and enjoy your travels !
Bikers are the loveliest people I've ever met. I did have a lot if bikers come to offer to fit my new brake pads but it would have delayed the trip for another day, so I just decided it was more important to pay a dealer £40 to get it done then and their than it was to loose another day's annual leave
that lakes a lock we don't have any lakes in Scotland except The Lake of Monteith being the only one
I just assumed that the word Loch was Garlic for Lake since they both began with L 🙈🙈🙈🙈
Love this, go you!
Thank you so much 💓
@@SaffySprocket hopefully I’ll see you up in the Highlands at some point. 😁🏍
Here in Texas we say, good or bad it's just part of the adventure. Looks like you're having fun. Ride Safe!
Nice trip! A note: if you’re every expecting to be somewhere where there might be a strong wind, don’t take that tent.
It was super windy on the Isle of Skye! I had no issues with it :D
Loving the coffee spoon. Mark of a true biker. 😁
🤣 if you look closely, all my utensils are tools, one is a screwdriver handle
@@SaffySprocket not sure what hygiene rating you would get for that cutlery. 😄. Took me 4 attempts to spell hygiene 😂
Welcome to beautiful Scotland saffy
Thank you so much 💓
