I competed in the sidecar TT for many years and we would always have to say hello to the fairies before the first practice! My friend who was having trouble getting his outfit to run right actually went back half way through practice week to speak to the fairies again!
@rickroberts1344 That’s amazing! 🌟 The fairies must have some serious magic! 🧚♂️✨ Love the tradition - it sounds like it really adds to the charm of the TT. Thanks for sharing that fun story! 😄🏍️🎩
@ianthepelican2709 Haha, I guess you never know what you’ll find under a bridge! 🧚♂️🏍️ Glad you enjoyed the sight - it definitely added a bit of magic to the day! 😄✨
I've been to the Isle of Man twice. Only for the race, it never occurred to me to go exploring. Next time I'm down there I might do a saffy tour of the Island.
@jeremyhiggins8626 Brilliant tip, Jeremy! 🦭 North Norfolk sounds like the perfect spot for seal-watching. I’ll definitely add that to my travel plans. Thanks for the heads-up! 😊🌊
Scrolling through your vids l need to catch up on, l noticed a key losing vid🤔 Obviously u found em as ur rollin again. Apart from the races on the Isle, looks like there's plenty to see.👏
Hey Saffron nice one, hope your keys are safe before you go in the woods 🤔👍. In north Lincolnshire were I am based there are two fairy woods, what freeked me out I buried my cat there after she passed 22 years old she was, here's the drop there is a cat that lives nearby to me looks exactly like my cat and I sore the lookalike not long after burying my cat, I really thought she'd come back alive after burying her in the fairy woods. Oh hope your keys were safe when you were in the woods 🙄🤔👍
@cliff1551 That’s a touching story about your cat - sometimes it feels like there’s a bit of magic in the air, doesn’t it? 🌟🐱 I hope the lookalike was just a coincidence and not a fairy trick! 😂 I made sure to keep a close eye on my keys in the woods - I wouldn’t want them disappearing like that! Thanks for sharing your story and for the good wishes! 😊🔑🌲
Hi Saffy, congratulations on your wonderful IOM trip content. I really enjoyed your exploration of the island although at times I felt you could have done with a gimble for your camera, especially when climbing over rocks and trying to film the seals. Keep going!
@zweispurmopped I Love the seal of approval pun! 🦭✨ And who knows, maybe the fairies do accept foreign currencies as collector’s items! 😉💸 Thanks for the laugh and the lovely comment! 😊🌟
Pouring rain, parking in the pit lane, lost keys, mischievous fairies taking your money, a rough ferry crossing back....oh and elusive wallabies. Another chapter in the life of Saffy Sprocket... Poor Saffy..😢
@alanco608 It’s all part of the adventure, isn’t it? 😅🌧️ Even with all the hiccups, it makes for one unforgettable story. Thanks for sticking with me through the ups and downs! Here’s to more exciting chapters ahead! 😊🏍️📖
Yay Saffy another awesome vid thank you sooooooo much. Love the enthusiasm and the fact that I’m literally gripped with apprehension whilst your out exploring, looking forward to the next episode of Sprocket Strikes Again’ 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼☺️👍🏼
@ItsLifeJim2024 Cheers for the lovely feedback! 🎉 I’m thrilled you’re enjoying the adventures and feeling the excitement along with me. Can’t wait for you to see the next episode of “Sprocket Strikes Again”! 😄🏍️👏🏼
You're supposed to say 'hello fairies' as you cross the bridge. I was nearly pushed out of the car by my Manx friend for adding 'you little bastards' at the end of it.
Hi Saffy. Thanks for the very interesting video at the Fairy Bridge. I think I saw your offering on the ground as you were searching for it. If you watch the video again, you will notice a coin in the upper right quadrant of the frame as you moved a leafy plant aside. Not sure if it was a 100 kroner but it definitely is a coin. Cheers and ride safe, Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
I do hope you found the Island a charming welcoming place, you want to visit again, I know the ferry can be off putting but it's well worth the trip, I'm sure your krone coin is pride of place in some ones collection 😉 Great video Saffy TTFN 🤗😘
@dob1662 The Isle of Man was absolutely charming, and I’ll definitely be back despite the ferry! 🌟🚢 I’m glad the krone coin found a new home - it’s a lovely touch to the adventure. Thanks for the warm wishes and for watching! 😊🏍️ TTFN! 😘
The excitement of youth. A live seal being more important to see than a seal on a package that was ordered. I hope that the rain has quit following you for a while, stay dry if you can Saffron.
I knew the road you were on as soon as you got going. Calf of Man and Niabyl Bay are both great places for visiting and spotting marine life. Part of my ex sister in laws ashes are scattered at the modern Fairy Bridge (Hello Fairies) as she loved the place and the tributes left to those gone before us. Sea crossings can be a bit 🤢🤮 at times. Worst one I had was my first one and I've been back a few times since, such is the attraction ❤️
@KnightRider1157 It’s wonderful to hear about your connection to the Isle of Man and the Fairy Bridge. 🌟 The Calf of Man and Niabyl Bay are indeed fantastic spots for marine life! Sorry to hear about the rough sea crossings - they can be quite the ordeal. 😅🚢 Still, the charm of the Isle of Man keeps drawing us back.😊❤️
Been to the IOM many times and didn't know about the real fairy bridge. Now it's on my to do list! Thanks for saying hello at the ABR festival. I was the fat old grey bearded bloke on a Stelvio popping to get fuel. Ride safe.
@akwillows No worries, happy to share the fairy bridge secret! 🧚♂️✨ It was great meeting you at the ABR Festival - hope the Stelvio is treating you well! 🚀 Ride safe and enjoy the Isle of Man! 🏍️😊
@@SaffySprocket Only just read your reply! Sorry!! Off to the Manx Grand Prix in August, so will go and look for the bridge! Stelvio is mint, love it by the way...
It didn’t fall out of your hand saffy it was snatched out of your hand, must be some Dutch fairy’s there on holiday, I heard that Dutch fairy’s are all expert pick pocketers from another realm 👍
Haha, Dutch fairies with a knack for pickpocketing - who knew? 😂✨ I’ll keep an eye out for those mischievous travellers! Thanks for the laugh and the tip! 🏍️🧚♂️😊
After analysis of your videos the undeniable conclusion must be: You show great talent in losing stuff emphasized by not finding things like wallabies. I am eagerly waiting for your documentation about the Loch Ness monster. I think you can do scientific groundwork there. We know that wallabies exist but you did not find them. Therefore looking for Nessie with comparable effort and not finding it is proof that it exists. I can't figure out the significance of you finding Nessie. Most probably you would get lost, so better not take risks.
@@SaffySprocket oh dear not a nice way to end your trip to the iom. Hopefully you had a great time while you where here. I am sure you will get to see a wallaby next time you get come back.
@bobcatbanzai275 Thanks for the kind words! 🌟 Despite the hiccup, the Isle of Man was fantastic. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for wallabies on my next visit - fingers crossed! 🐾😊🏍️
@MrMadtaz01 Haha, I didn’t make it to Murray’s Museum this time, but it’s definitely on the list for next visit! 😄 I’m sorry if the Fairy Bridge felt like a letdown - there’s always next time for a proper museum visit! 🏛️✨ Thanks for the chuckle! 😊
Can you link to an image of the coin? Was it an old 1 krone - might have cost you 100 krone to buy? Also, the best seasick prevention I've found is to slowly nibble an apple.
@@SaffySprocket only Norwegian coins in circulation with holes in them are NOK 5, and NOK 1. 100 NOK comes in paper money. There are some anniversary coins for collectors with 100 NOK on them, but none of them have holes in the middle.
@dennisreid4428 Haha, luckily no need for another key hunt! 😅 And yes, I guess you could say it’s a bit of an Ophelia moment - just trying to keep things whimsical and fun! 🌉✨ Thanks for catching that! 😊🎥
@dogzero1 Sorry you found it boring! 😕 Everyone has different tastes, and I appreciate your feedback. I’m always working on bringing something new and exciting. Thanks for watching! 🏍️✨
@mauriceridesout: Thanks! I’m glad you like the luggage. Folklore is fascinating, and who knows, maybe a fairy did come to visit me. They do say they come to those who believe! 😘🧚♀️
At 10.36 when you are looking for your coin there appears what looks like a coin. Great video
@ianmccurley2806 Cheers, Ian! 🌟 That isn't the right coin! Mine had a hole in it! 😄🏍️👍

Another wonderful video Ms Sprocket! Exposing the dirty underbelly of bridge naming all the way to seal spotting 🙌🙌
Thank you kindly 🥰
Coin slipped into the dimension where all the ten mil sockets are😅
😂 I swear
I've been to the Isle of Man twice. Only for the race, it never occurred to me to go exploring. Next time I'm down there I might do a saffy tour of the Island.
You really should! The cafe by the seals is exceptional fantastic too 😁
If you want to see seals, north Norfolk down to Winterton between Nov and January. There's loads
@jeremyhiggins8626 Brilliant tip, Jeremy! 🦭 North Norfolk sounds like the perfect spot for seal-watching. I’ll definitely add that to my travel plans. Thanks for the heads-up! 😊🌊
Definitely a very spiritual and emotional place to visit, love it over there, ❤😊
🥰 thanks

Its a Christmas miracle 😄🎉

I was very very very very close to vomiting
Hi Sa Beautiful tour video and FAIRY BRIDGE Location for tourists😊
Thank you! 🤗
The Great Fairy Encounter on the Isle!😂😂😂
You made the effort to find the real bridge, and yes, you had a real Encounter, 👏🤪👍
The fairy's are scary 😂
@@SaffySprocket
Nah, they're just sayin, thanks for visiting, and thanks for the coin, njoy the place, and good travels😀
Sprockles found the seal of approval. ☺
Foreign currencies apparently are welcome with the fairies, possibly as collector's items? 🤗

Hi Saffy, I spotted what looked like the coin @ 10:35 lower right of the screen take a look and see what you think 🤔
That wasn't it :) mine was 100kr coin
No offence intended Saffy . But due to your recent history ,My bloody heart was in my mouth watching you climb over those rocks . Take care 🤐💓🤐💓🤐💓.
😅 life is for living, and occasionally getting hurt in the process
A real fairy at the fairy bridge 😊 when two mischievous met 😂

Don't let the fairies have you bike key.
They keep stealing it I swear 😂
I thought I saw the coin in there I had to do is go a little more to the right
Wrong coin :)
Oh sorry I thought that was your coin my bad
Looks like smooth trip back 😂

Hey Saffy whatever happened to your honda 500 ?....i must have missed that episode .
😅 it's still in Limbo currently
@@SaffySprocket Thanks Saffy I was wondering!
Fairies only accept UK Sterling!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, that's definitely a bit strange that...... maybe they needed the money 😊
😅 I hope it's a good sign and not a bad one
Can you link to an image of the coin? Was it an old 1 krone - might have cost you 100 krone to buy? Also, the best seasick prevention I've found is to slowly nibble an apple.
I think it was a 1 krone, I've been auto translating it to GBP pennies in my head 😂
10:37 on the right, above the root?🤔
It will be easier for the fairies to get the coin. 🙂
That's the wrong coin! Mine was a 100NOK, which is silver with a hole in the middle

Might have been the bridge troll, sneaky buggers, you need to watch it or they'll have your keys away again.
Those pesky bridge troll 😅😅😅😅
Surprised you didn't have to go back to find your keys,again! Is that your Ophelia pose through the bridge?

😂😂😂😂
Never grow up, did you forget your sea legs?
I've never had sea legs 😂 I'm more like a sea octopus crawling around 🦑🦑🦑🦑
Boring. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz The only fairies at that bridge were Quentin and Philip, the local benders.
