    Hi saffy, just wanted to say you're an inspiration to a lot of us riders who don't have the courage to do what you are doing. You are amazing & I wish you nothing but the best on your latest adventure. X

    First of all my compliments for you ondergoing a long journey through Europe for the first time al alone.
    Running into things you need but forgot, long the way you learn👍🏼👊🏼✊🏼.
    Having a cold body after night sleep on the ground🤦🏼‍♂,what will help is a big (moving or horse) blanket ( folded)under your airbed. It will isolate and you will have a warmer body next day👌🏼.

    Goodness, I forgot how huge British mains plugs are! Also, if you're in the same pickle WRT no laundry soap, scraping some shavings off the soap bar might yield better results due to increased surface area. Damned fine improvisation on that one, regardless.

    Another great video. Travelling alone is hard work. When I travelled to Mongolia, I suddenly realised that I would probably never get this far away again. And I wished I had the chance to turn east when exiting Mongolia and get a ferry/ship to Canada. But being so far from home, I had a strange longing to return.

  • @alanmetcalfe3439

    Hi Saffy
    If you’re cold in your sleeping bag you need a foil insulator under your sleeping mat
    The sort of thing they use to put on car windscreens does the job quite well
    Travel safe
    All the best
    Alan 👍👍

    Glad you sorted your air bed out, when riding a good nights sleep is imperative. When your home look at flextailgear mini pump, much easier to use and you reduce bacteria build up plus the air bed will be better insulated as your breath can freeze when blowing up yourself. Safe travels and we’ll done 💚

    Saffy, are you on a tight deadline? The best advice I could give right now, would be just to slow your roll. You'll enjoy the trip more if you take the odd 2 nights (unplanned) at a camp site etc. If you're planning one night, staying 2 isn't a major hassle. Plus, you save fuel money by not riding the bike ;)
