Crossing over the ØResund is not only an awesome experience but it kind of feels like you are leaving the part of of Europe behind and entering into Troll country. You have to start riding your day to suite you mood and physical ability, you will fatigue and hurt yourself if you are too tired too be 100% aware on the road....
Hi Saffy you're doing great as always! I don't know how far on your trip you are but if you put in shelterplads for Denmark and Rasteplass in GMaps for Norway you may find some really great free camping spots, most with water , a toilet, a sleeping shelter and free wood for a fire - and it doesn't matter what time you get there. Does mean spending some time planning your stops but I've just spent a month up there without being on a campsite once....which really helped with the budget.
@@SaffySprocket Thank you for everything you do...every mile you go, for sharing it with us and putting yourself through the pain barrier but above all, thank you for being you, that lovely smile, beautiful giggle and even the odd tear here and there. You have already proved yourself to us and we are all, every single one of us so, so proud of you..Stay safe, and best wishes for part four of your immense journey. ♥️
Its like watching ourselfs a year or two ago, your making the same mistakes youll learn how to avoid in time. Best advice we can give you is Travel Slower and see more, Get off Motorways and plan for more time on the A Roads, and always stop by early evening or youll keep finding yourself well into the night looking for accomadation and youll be constantly Exhausted. Go slower and enjoy the Experience. Keep up the good work!
@@SaffySprocket Sometimes it’s a necessary evil, we did that once riding to Poland we soon learnt our lesson having done hours on the German autobahn, on the way back we took a couple extra days and had an amazing time riding slower and through the Netherlands which was unexpectedly amazing
What a great photo that would make "Sitting there eating your food and looking up at the stars" (The constellation you can see in the video above your head looks the The Plough (Big Dipper). Keep up the awesome work Saffy and ride safe.
Beautiful footage, through the forest and over the water! I have a suggestion regarding your soft luggage. Try using non-elastic straps (see Mosko Moto’s Backcountry Cinch Straps and the company’s videos about how to use them). Once in place and cinched down, they do not loosen. They also double as a tow line if needed. Even better, see whether Mosko Moto would care to join your charitable efforts by sponsoring you. 😊
It’s seems most of your trips end up with too many miles covered over an extremely long day, then you have to set up camp. Perhaps consider taking a hotel between campsites, and taking shorter legs when you plan to camp would help with the fatigue.
Saffy , you certainly seem to believe in the old saying there is no gain without pain ! , in fact you seem to demonstrate it on most of your journeys....!.
Well, Dear ... In order to have a good in life you must get enough sleep, and Plan your rides so that you don't over-do it ... I'm older ... I like to keep things simple and enjoy the journey ... but there is nothing to enjoy when you are wiped out !!!
Don’t push yourself so much. Itchy boots doesn’t ride after 16.30 in the afternoon. Early start early finish . It’s an adventure trip not a torture trip don’t burn yourself out.
you should carry a pack wet wipes, at the very least you can wipe yourself down on a night time, I had to do this as a distance wagon driver when I couldn't get a place to shower
No matter how hard it is sometimes, I believe that you have collected enough memories from all your travels for three lifetimes. Don't lose your smile.❤
@@SaffySprocket Yes, fasting is good for you ... however, I am a Pilot and Scuba Instructor ... there are certain times when fasting is not good for you ... one of them is Scuba Diving, and another is Flying and Airplane ... it's called Cockpit Resource Management; when you have to be at your best and are engaged in physical and mental activity I don't think it is a good time to fast ... I would also say that riding a motorcycle is the same ...
When you do your next trip, you want to take a decent bivvy bag with you for nights when you arrive late at your destination camp site and are too knackered to put the tent up. You just put your mattress, pillow and sleeping bag in it and it takes about 2 minutes.
Saffy a good one for when you are just so tired and you really can't be arsed, is leave everything on the bike, and use a bivi bag or a poncho tired down off the bike, saves putting up a tent, just roll in and sleep.
Well Sassy you made it to the North Sea! I admire your determination with the late night camping shenanigans. I guess one bonus is you must sleep like a log. My European camping plans hopefully involve a late evening swim in a pool + beer haha.
I am addicted to following your amazing adventures Saffy, I find I myself veering from tears to joy and back again as you share your highs and lows. Your videos and commentry are second to none. I simply dont know where you get your strength and endurance ! You are simply amazing.
Massive well done Saffy and so looking forward to watching the rest of the trip 👏👏 I so won't to ride in Norway but at 65 I really can't do all that motorway time 😂 Been told that the ferry from Newcastle will start again in 2026 🙏 does anyone know if this is correct 🤔
@SaffySprocket I'm hoping they will start again as I hate motorways with a passion. Stay safe, Saffy, and enjoy life on the road at your own pase mind 😎
You need to cut down on your daily mileage, you seem to do it on every trip you do. Overstretch yourself and end up tired and drained. You’ll put yourself off and detract from what should be an amazing adventure.
Your doing so well but don’t overdo yourself it’s bad for your concentration which will make you unsafe on your bike and we don’t want that ,ride safe stop earlier and enjoy yourself
Time for a hotel room and a good restaurant meal! This video reminds me of my past motorcycle adventures and the exhaustion after a long day of riding. Hang in there Saffy...we're all rooting for you!
I am an aspiring motorcycle tour/trip/camper. I would love to hear your thoughts on what you would have done different after a big trip like this. Keep up the good work 👍
@@SaffySprocket I thought you would have a list as long as your arm. But more socks 🤣🤣 says it all. I will be sure to pack more. Also, waterproof socks = lifesaver. 👍👍
I admire your determination! I've mentioned this before but, if luggage space is limited, especially for clothing, then consider using vacuum bags. They enable you to carry perhaps three or four times the amount of clothing in the same space. Also, being airtight, they have the bonus of being completely waterproof. I've used them for years and wouldn't be without them now.
@@SaffySprocket There are two types: one version has a one-way valve and you just roll them up to push the air out and the other type comes with a really small USB powered vacuum pump, which is about half the size of a drinks can. Google JML Vac Pack. Happy travels!
@@SaffySprocket I get that , but you won’t make it at all if you don’t ride within your own limits/ ability, eat some decent food get some decent sleep 😴… best wishes!
After those long first few days i bet the 24 hour's off the bike was bliss. Looking forward to the next instalment of your adventures and hopefully many more in the future.
When I recently did my trip around the UK on my little 50 I was riding for 11 hours a day, I was exhausted but every second was exhilarating. I’m in awe of your adventures and my feet are getting itchy for new adventures. Well done you, love your travel vlogs 😊😊😊
I genuinely think it's harder to ride for longer on a lower powered machine! When I took a 125cc to Wales, it was just so tough crunching miles, can't imagine taking a 50 on 11 hours a day 😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
Thanks for another brilliant insight into the ups and downs of travelling on a motorbike. Last yesr we discovered having a short break, even for fuel every hour or so made the journey much easier - im getting older and everything aches after a while in the saddle. Great footage, very inspirational 😊
oh my Karma Saffy.. You did the NC500 mileage just to get to the start of your Road trip.. So the rigours of the 500 did set you up completely to survive this.. You are An absolute Wonder .. 💯❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹. you didn't mention, but the little green dot Honda performed magnificently ??
Monster trip. I came back from Nordkapp 3 weeks ago. For sure getting colder up there now. Stay safe and strong!
I'm back home now ☺️ it was cold! But managed to avoid the snow
Ok 👏🎉 Saffiy
🥰
Good videos been watching for a while now but the all the narrative stuff gets to me after a while
Sorry! On this trip my media mod that my mic plugs into broke! So I had to adapt :-)
Keep up the good work. Stay safe.
Thanks, you too!
Saffron I admire your sand you have grit... You are one tough chick. 💪
😊 thank you

Norway is such a treasure trove of views
@@SaffySprocket Truly is..i think there were times where i went it to awesomeness fatigue. Northern Vietnam is next for me.

I know you pain - did 570 miles/917 km in 95F/35C heat on my Himalayan! I was shattered and ohhh my Bum!!! Love watching the adventures Saffy!
The bum sores are the worst part 😂 never realised how much I hate the edges of my bike seat until I sprinted across Europe
You may not think it right now but you have done brilliant to get where you have and can be immensely proud...onwards and upwards...Saffy Spirit !!
Thank you so much for your support 🙏❤️

You are a true legend and inspiration. I must try to be more like you.
Sending you a little bit of love, and hope Norway has been good to you. ❤️
Wow, thank you
Safe travels and rain free days Saffron.
The goal is only to set up your tent in the daylight.
Thank you so much 😊
What an experience your sharing with us. Saffy on tour!
Glad you're enjoying it 😊

My Scotland trip was very short!
Saffron your filmwork is becoming absolutely excellent, pleasure to watch
Thank you 😊 I've been really lucky with this trip and Insta360 helped me out with some new equipment
it was the drone work that excelled@@SaffySprocket
Yep, you are doing so well, it is very hard riding long distances, but somehow you find the energy to keep going 😊
RedBull 😂
Hey Saffy, we're so very proud of you girl, very proud indeed 👌
Thank you so much for your support 🙏🙏
There is no stopping you ❤ you are great 👍
Thank you so much 😀
@@SaffySprocket I wish I where with you it look pretty good 👍
Brilliant Saffy! You are amazing keep going and please stay safe. :>)
Thank you so much for your support ❤️🙏
You a total inspiration to other riders to push though the pain barrier to get to your destination ❤❤
Thank you so much 😊
Saffy , you certainly seem to believe in the old saying there is no gain without pain ! , in fact you seem to demonstrate it on most of your journeys....!.
I love smelly 😂 On long road trips I also use them to have a clear out of old socks pant and t-shirts, wear until unbearable then bin😊
Technically I'm being environmentally friendly 😂
Hi Sa Very Nice Video.Take sufficient rest to rejuvinate the Energy levels ootimum.Drinking Water keep you Dehydrated.Enjoy your tours
Thanks for the tips!
Saffy lass ❤ well done 🍀🙏🍀
Thank you so much 😊
I loved the trip i did there .. its a great journey i kept off the motorways though
Ah I wish I could have but I had a finite amount of annual leave
well done Laffy
Thank you so much 😊
You must have a great partner who doesn't mind you being away for a long time travelling..
Gives him a break from me setting the house on fire trying to cook 😂😂😂😂
Omg....
Well, Dear ... In order to have a good in life you must get enough sleep, and Plan your rides so that you don't over-do it ... I'm older ... I like to keep things simple and enjoy the journey ... but
there is nothing to enjoy when you are wiped out !!!
Thanks for the tips!
@@SaffySprocket I still love watching your videos .... I just feel bad for you sometimes ... because it's like we know you ...

Ah! I only had so many weeks annual leave to do the trip so I needed to push a little hard some days :D
Recalibrating personal hygiene is essential to any long distance trip.
Is that another way of saying "accept you'll stink"?
Yes, but my version sounds better.
lol. fair point, but there's something just 'wrong' about stinky women. @@mysterybiker1717
Stinky smell of adventure 😂💅
you should carry a pack wet wipes, at the very least you can wipe yourself down on a night time, I had to do this as a distance wagon driver when I couldn't get a place to shower

Hello, have you finished your trip or are you editing as you go
Finished! Sort of 😅 but we will get to that
❤️😘🥰👍🏻👍🏻
🥰🥰🥰🥰
I thought you weren't doing any more videos , i'm confused😕 ....signing off ?
😅 the video explained it
sounds a bit clickbaity@@SaffySprocket
Then don't watch.....@@ireallylovegod
You obviously don't know how clickbait works .
@@ireallylovegod it's no click bait 😭 it's literally the slogan at every end of the video
👋👋👋🇺🇸🤠
🥰🥰🥰
Why are you not using Bunk a bike on facebook?
I like camping
Ride bike, eat, die, repeat!
Yes 😂😂😂
Also it is not physiologically good for your body to go so long without eating ... this also enhances depression and stress ... Lol
I think fasting is quite good for you
@@SaffySprocket Yes, fasting is good for you ... however, I am a Pilot and Scuba Instructor ... there are certain times when fasting is not good for you ... one of them is Scuba Diving, and another is Flying and Airplane ... it's called Cockpit Resource Management; when you have to be at your best and are engaged in physical and mental activity I don't think it is a good time to fast ...

I like the idea but I sleeping in a tent because no one knows if I'm male or female and it draws less attention 😅
Awesome video, people support the North west Ambulance, 👍 👏 ❤
It's a fantastic charity 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Saffy a good one for when you are just so tired and you really can't be arsed, is leave everything on the bike, and use a bivi bag or a poncho tired down off the bike, saves putting up a tent, just roll in and sleep.
A few people said this ahaha
Good luck from now on. I'm looking forward to your trip from 🇯🇵Japan. Please be safe.
Thanks! 😃
I know you're into fitness, when do you have to time or the energy to workout when on these wild adventures?
I don't work out when I'm traveling! The longest I've traveled for at the moment is 4 weeks :-)
What bag are you wearing on your leg?
It looks very handy. Does it get in the way at all???
It's a fishing bag from Amazing 😅😅😅😅😅 amzn.to/48zsacK
This is a wonderful video series….❤ travel soap shavings😲😅
Glad you like them!
I love your videos, Saffy. Many thanks for making and sharing 😊👍🏴
Thank you so much 😊 glad you're enjoying it
Well Sassy you made it to the North Sea! I admire your determination with the late night camping shenanigans.
I guess one bonus is you must sleep like a log. My European camping plans hopefully involve a late evening swim in a pool + beer haha.
what a hard push up there so far but what an adventure been wanting to do this myself its on my todo list for sure Keep going Saffy you can do it
It got a lot easier once I made my way in Norway that's for sure!
I am addicted to following your amazing adventures Saffy, I find I myself veering from tears to joy and back again as you share your highs and lows. Your videos and commentry are second to none. I simply dont know where you get your strength and endurance ! You are simply amazing.
Massive well done Saffy and so looking forward to watching the rest of the trip 👏👏 I so won't to ride in Norway but at 65 I really can't do all that motorway time 😂
Been told that the ferry from Newcastle will start again in 2026 🙏 does anyone know if this is correct 🤔
I read that but then didn't the Norwegian ferries all just go into administration?
@SaffySprocket I'm hoping they will start again as I hate motorways with a passion. Stay safe, Saffy, and enjoy life on the road at your own pase mind 😎
You need to cut down on your daily mileage, you seem to do it on every trip you do. Overstretch yourself and end up tired and drained. You’ll put yourself off and detract from what should be an amazing adventure.
You're an inspiration saffy. Try to avoid riding when tired, always listen to your body. Norway is fabulous on a bike, enjoy every moment
Thank you so much 😊🙏
Your doing so well but don’t overdo yourself it’s bad for your concentration which will make you unsafe on your bike and we don’t want that ,ride safe stop earlier and enjoy yourself
It's fine, I slowed down to about 150-200 miles a day once I hit Norway, it was just the sprint across Europe that was the hard bit really
Bit surprised you didn't take the ferry from Hull to Rotterdam, it would have saved you some motorway miles
😅 eurotunnel was like £50 return, tbh I said this on the way back, I think the Ferry is a better use of time
Time for a hotel room and a good restaurant meal! This video reminds me of my past motorcycle adventures and the exhaustion after a long day of riding. Hang in there Saffy...we're all rooting for you!
Thank you so much for your support ❤️🙏
Respect long Tim in the saddle 😊 keep up the good work and get some well earned 🛌. ....
Thanks, will do!
it's been a bit of an adventure just to get to the start, hope you managed to rest and recuperate on the ferry
I did luckily!
Much cheaper, and you meet a lot of other beautelful motorcycle people.
Wild camping is free though :D
I am an aspiring motorcycle tour/trip/camper. I would love to hear your thoughts on what you would have done different after a big trip like this.
