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.
Great job so far saffy you are doing great such an inspiration for a great cause take care and safe travels you are a lovely human being if only there were more of you the world would be a better place xx ❤️👍
hii saffy, when i watch your videos it makes me laugh so much at times because i recognise myself in it. i'm planning a trip this summer arround europe; thank you for not removing the hard and difficult times throughout your journey, wish i was riding with you on this amazing trip
Saffy you are on a long road of touring learning and it will come right soon all i can say heading east and not south for your first trip was a bad move. You will enjoy the alps so much more,
TentMeals are good as well, Saffy if you can get them. Lovely to see the countryside rolling past. Looking forward to seeing the lovely east European countries
Well done Saffy. You did a great job. And putting that tent up and the long hall washing when all you wanted and needed was to rest. Such a great job on everything.. 👍❤️
Cool video ... I got tired just watching you that camping night ... Hilarious 😂That entrance into Poland was astonishing ... Are you going to have to come back on that Road ??? I hope not ... Such a horrible war ... Please watch your proximity to War Activities dear ... ???
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 💚
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.
Hi Saffy, before long you will be a seasoned adventurer, enjoyed the video, and I hope the weather gods are with you and it stays mild whilst you are camping. Thank you.
Well done safely, really enjoying your adventure, we've all arrived late and tired and sometimes wet . As an older biker sleeping next to the toilet block isn't such a bad thing when you need the loo in the middle of the night. Keep up the good work , this is a great fundraiser. All the best looking forward to next episode
Thank you so much 🥰 and yeh, it wasn't too bad, getting to run between the shower and my tent was a lot easier and also refilling my water for cooking was a lot easier too!
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 👍👍
*_Great Video, Saffy. I do a lot of the Peak Refuel Meals on my trips. They are quick and easy to make and aren't that bad. What an incredible ride. I hope to visit some of these cool places on my bike. Thanks for taking us along._*
Honestly, they're so great when it's late at night when you've been traveling all day. It just means you can spend more time on the bike snd less in shops and also means you don't get grump hungry ahahha
Staffy, thanks for sharing your latest leg of the journey. Great views. Tip of the day at night. Hot water bottle, at my age I'd never leave home without one, especially camping in Scotland though its been a few years since I did that. Always forward girl and pleasant and safe riding till your next update. Pleasant dreaming of a hot water bottle 👌🤭.
Saffy, Have a look at YFood for quick meals, honestly they are actually nice and its always good to have some to hand for when you dont have much. Powder or bottle its better than nothing, some decent flavours too.
One good thing about UA-cam is that if the video is up then you made it out OK :) The empty roads except for military vehicles would have got my mind ticking over too.
Hi Saffy love your blog and have followed you over the last year. I know you are coming over to Poland which is where I live with my family, (I'm Welsh) we have just put our bikes away for the winter as it is forecasted to be +1C in the day and -6C at night next weekend so be careful, we live in a city called Torun if you are cold in your little tent, you are always welcome, take care and good luck. Bob and Malgosia xxxx😎😎
@@SaffySprocket I hope your heading south to warmer climes, take care and you will always be welcome to stay with us if you are passing, Torun is a beautiful university city (like Cambridge) and has a great history. We will be looking forward to next Sunday and hearing about your adventures. take care. Bob and Malgosia xxxxx
Fab vid Saffy. I think ur barmy!…… but at the same time very brave and entertaining 😊. Really good editing btw. Can’t wait for the next instalment. Stay safe 🏍🤙
Just roll on Saffy, and take one day at a time without thinking too much about what's to come. (I see you've left behind that the right side is the left side)
Go for it saffy! hope you packed your thermals! wish i could give you my heated gloves to help, best thing i've had for winter biking for years! maybe someone watching sells them & sends you a pair to "test"
@@SaffySprocket Good, use them especially the gloves as soon as you feel the cold, i'm a tall skinny blonde too & arthritis is no fun, us greyhound breed need to be warm to function safely & be happy.
@@SaffySprocket She's also got few years experience on you & worked all over the world first, you are just as good & much funniers to boot mate + better looking not that that matters.
I don’t know where exactly you’re going to go, but if you will be in Sosnowiec (near Katowice) I will tell my parents to give you accommodation and good dinner! 😘
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 ;)
It's nice that your Suzuki has been good 'n reliable after all the hard work you did getting set up for the trip. Cloths dried outside, might that mean they get wet while your wearing them later on. Hope not Saffy.
I’m confused, are there no shops or facilities along the route your taking saffy ??? Seem to be making this experience of touring in Europe very hard ? Only saying because the mrs and me tour and camp in Europe often .
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
Thank you so much 🥰
Yes an inspiration that even with piss poor planning and more than a moderate amount of cluelessness you could still achieve so much.
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👌🏼.
Ok 👍👌 super Saffy
🥰
I love this adventure 🥳👌 May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be at your back, be well and stay safe 🏍💨💨💨❤
Thank you so much 🥰
Thank you for your videos. Dont leave the bike before you stopped it in 1 gear. It will drop on day. 40 year of experirience. 😊👍
Thank you so much 🥰
Saffy, thank you for making my Sunday nights!
So glad you enjoy the video 🥰
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.
What an absolute legend, super brave too. Well done!!! Great vid, thank you soooo much for putting it altogether x
Thank you so much 🥰
Great job so far saffy you are doing great such an inspiration for a great cause take care and safe travels you are a lovely human being if only there were more of you the world would be a better place xx ❤️👍

The hard parts are where good stories are made :-)
Saffy you are on a long road of touring learning and it will come right soon all i can say heading east and not south for your first trip was a bad move. You will enjoy the alps so much more,
LOVE HOW YOU TRAVEL AND DO EXPEDITIONS YOU EVER USE THE BIKES EXHAUST TO WARM YOURSELF ? IT FEELS AMAZING
Try a thermal blanket (those silver, takes up no space emergecy blankets) between the mattress and the ground. You may find it a bit warmer.
TentMeals are good as well, Saffy if you can get them.
Lovely to see the countryside rolling past.
Looking forward to seeing the lovely east European countries
Well done Saffy. You did a great job. And putting that tent up and the long hall washing when all you wanted and needed was to rest.

You are very much welcome in Poland 👍👍🇵🇱🇵🇱
Wishing you the very best in your new adventure✌️✌️
Ride safe 🍀🍀
Poland is such a beautiful country 🥰
Slava Poland !!!

Massive respect for you saffy your doing amazing things. Love these vids stay safe and stay awesome.
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰
The important thing is to stay motivated. Keep on making the next video I always wish you good luck
Thank you so much 🥰
Nice video love your tent

You are doing great. Also looks like you are getting your camping routine down. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much 🥰
Yep, another great video saffy, keep it up ......can't wait until next Sunday
Thank you so much 🥰 I'm trying to get more edited! It's just difficult to find the time!
Big adventure for a great cause. Stay safe Saff x
Thank you so much 🥰
So happy to see you , your drone footage was great . Keep safe 💚
Thank you so much 🥰 I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Saffy well done ,safari so goody X take care 🍀🙏🍀 stay safe 🍀🙏🍀
Thank you so much 🥰
The best time to go to Poland is summer time. Well good luck
I honestly really want to go back in summer

Another great video Saffy. It's the challenges on your trip which you faced head on that make the memories.
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Saffy!!! 😊
Hi! 🥰
Great video, Looking forward to next week
Thank you so much 🥰
Heated grips up to 100%... I'm feeling cold just seeing that.
I do have them! And heated gerbing gloves 😅
Another great video. So much respect for you and what you're doing 🤘
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
LOVELY!
perfect drone shots again, love em :)))

Hot water bottles are a god send! I have an extra long one that I use on my sleeping back, it holds about 1Litre of Hot water!
Saffy, Have a look at YFood for quick meals, honestly they are actually nice and its always good to have some to hand for when you dont have much.
Powder or bottle its better than nothing, some decent flavours too.
Liked the video Saffy 👍 your confidence will improve after each trip you do and can see the difference in you now after only a short period of time 👍👍
I felt a lot more confident on motorways after Poland that's for sure 😂😂😂😂
Morning Staffy Sprocket. Hope you arnt near the area that was hit by a rocket yesterday? Stay safe and enjoyable riding girl! 👌
You're broadening your horizons by traveling further away from home. Good for you.
Thumbs up to you for doing this in the winter. 👍 Brrrrr
Thank you so much 🥰
One good thing about UA-cam is that if the video is up then you made it out OK :) The empty roads except for military vehicles would have got my mind ticking over too.
😅 for sure
Every time I headed into Eastern Europe the traffic was always like that. Wouldn't worry too much about it.
It was so crazy, I couldn't imagine being sat in that all day! Must take them hours to get through
At 11.22 the traffic lights are red but the additional sign with the arrow means you can proceed to turn on a red light if the road is clear
OoooooOooog🥲🤪🙈

You really do make laugh and a small hot water bottle would be a good investment.
I took a massive hot water bottle :D it holds 2 litres, took 3 kettles to fill up every night ahaha
Saffy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤗
Hi 🥰
Fab vid Saffy. I think ur barmy!…… but at the same time very brave and entertaining 😊. Really good editing btw. Can’t wait for the next instalment. Stay safe 🏍🤙
All fun and games 😂😂😂😂😂
The cheapest shops in Poland are Biedronka and Lidl, and their food is good, so don’t hesistate to buy there something.
I bought a few sneaky litres of vodka 😅😅😅😅
You are a Wonderfull biker🤙🤙🤙
Thank you so much 🥰
Just roll on Saffy, and take one day at a time without thinking too much about what's to come. (I see you've left behind that the right side is the left side)
Spokojne, wszystko bedzie dobrze, relax, everything is gonna be ok. My Dad was Polish :)
🥰🥰 it was fine, until I crashed 😅😅😅😂😂😂
@@SaffySprocket ooops !!
Go for it saffy! hope you packed your thermals! wish i could give you my heated gloves to help, best thing i've had for winter biking for years! maybe someone watching sells them & sends you a pair to "test"
I have quite a few of heated gloves and also a heated jacket!
@@SaffySprocket Good, use them especially the gloves as soon as you feel the cold, i'm a tall skinny blonde too & arthritis is no fun, us greyhound breed need to be warm to function safely & be happy.
What an amazing girl you are Saffy.😊👍🏍
Thank you so much 🥰
Must say, base layer and boots, very sexy. LOL. You look like your doing alright. Keep it it up Darlin.
Safroon!🤗
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Du warst gans nah bei mir! Habe Dir gewunken :-) Lieben Gruß aus Berlin- Tegel, Ralf
I love Berlin 🥰
You could get a ready made pop up tent much faster
You're our homegrown itchy boots lass !
I could never be as organised as her 😂 she's so professional
@@SaffySprocket She's also got few years experience on you & worked all over the world first, you are just as good & much funniers to boot mate + better looking not that that matters.
You are late ... haha just Pick a spot ...any spot... you're only Little bitty...
Ahahaha for sure
I don’t know where exactly you’re going to go, but if you will be in Sosnowiec (near Katowice) I will tell my parents to give you accommodation and good dinner! 😘
I've already passed through Poland but I will be coming back in Summer, it's a lot of fun :D there's so many fun moutaon roads
@@SaffySprocket and blue buddies are not that bad if you got something in your wallet ;)

I was on a super tight deadline! I did this trip in 2 weeks of annual leave 😅☠️
@@SaffySprocket aha, that explains all the rushing! Sometimes unavoidable, for entirely understandable reasons
here's something I learned from the armed forces, Prior preparation prevents pisspoor performance and a good marine is always 5 mins early
👍🤙🤘❤️❤️⚘️
🥰
Konserwa Turystyczna, Grochówka Żołnierska are pretty replete for cooking like you
Гэта гісторыя дзяўчыны, якая адважылася на захапляльныя прыгоды дзеля таго, каб даказаць сваім сябрам, што вырашае не сіла, а смеласць?

I wish I didn’t loose my job month ago and has just started new one to join the fundraising :/
I made one for you :) so don't feel left out www.justgiving.com/fundraising/saffy-sprocket
It's nice that your Suzuki has been good 'n reliable after all the hard work you did getting set up for the trip.
Cloths dried outside, might that mean they get wet while your wearing them later on. Hope not Saffy.
The SV650 is such a great bike, it never skips a beat!
Make a World Tour🌍if possible
If only 😅😅😅😅 I'd get lost half way round ahahha
@@SaffySprocket Then never do please🙏
I’m confused, are there no shops or facilities along the route your taking saffy ??? Seem to be making this experience of touring in Europe very hard ?
Only saying because the mrs and me tour and camp in Europe often .
Hey! Tones of shops, I just prefer to travel this way :D it means I can't ride further and not have to waste time shopping!
Ahh right ok thank you :-)
Hope your enjoying your adventure saffy x
Riding begins at 11:50

first lol

Can we address the super dirty glasses?
