I have dabbled a little with the biking side on my trucking channel and after watching a few of your videos I aim to do a lot more and maybe start a seperate biking channel. Scenary in this video is second to none and you are very brave doing this alone, i do like driving in Scotland but it's in a truck so you don't get that up close and personal feeling with it. Keep up the good work and you have gained another subscriber. Stay safe, Ride safe Jenko

It’s great to be spontaneous but there’s so many additional people taking holidays and trips in Scotland that the infrastructure is getting strained, particularly around ferry’s and accommodation . Those roads around the lochs can be very long and if you take a wrong turn you can end up on a detour of many hours. That route up the West coast is spectacular though. Ferry guru was right, you had been lucky with the weather. We had a tent destroyed by the wind on the Western Isles! Good luck!
@SaffySprocket 2 жыл бұрын
Yeh, I can imagine it gets quite bad in the wind. The weather was great when I went but my tent was still blowing a gail 🙃 it was quote scary really 😳 I had been told before that booking wasn't a big deal but obviously with the easter Bank Holiday, it was just manic

Good on your for knowing when to rest up. There's this check that the IAM tells you to do before riding (and during a long ride) - "P.O.W.D.E.R.S". Petrol, Oil, Water, Damage, Electrics, Rubber (i.e. tyres), Self. I think a lot of people forget the "self" bit, so it's always a good idea to consider your state of mind and decide whether you can get out of your funk before starting/carrying on or whether it's time for a rest or even to stop.

You were very lucky there Saffy. When we went to Mallaig we got told under no circumstances were we going to get on the ferry today if we hadn't booked, we would have to book for tomorrow now. The habour master was quite rude about it dispite me being nice a possible to try and chance his mind. We ended up going to the Isle of Mull instead. Next time I'll just go to the Kyle of Lochalsh and use the bridge instead. I was quite disappointed and upset by the Mallaig habour master.

@@SaffySprocket I get it. I am thinking to do NC500 this summer. Thats why I said. Where did you catch the ferry if you don’t want to go via bridge. I never knew that you can catch ferry to save your time lol. Thanks for that.

On my LEJOG I had booked the ferry to Skye but they cancelled my 12 o’clock and could only offer me the 6 o’clock to Skye. I was recounting this to another biker on the ferry to Dunoon who said I should look to use the turntable ferry to get onto Skye…. What a fateful and fantastic opportunity that was…. A much nicer ride to the little turntable ferry and a unique experience to boot. Sometimes as they say when life gives you lemons…..!!

Honestly, the best thing you can do is physically just stand in the standby lane. They kept telling me no no no no we can't, then just as the boat was setting off they were like, we can squish you on

love your vlogs,,calmac ferry,s are a nightmare,unfortunally the have most of the scottish isle,s tied up,,,,make me laugh about English people on holiday an say they missed the ferry,,,there has been a bridge over to Skye for about 20 years,,i am an engineer and have worked for diageo for years so i spent some time on Skye at the Talisker distillery
@SaffySprocket 2 жыл бұрын
I was aware of the bridge, and I took the bridge home, the problem was that by this point I was just too physically tired to go on for another 3 hours. I slept so badly the night before and I was already struggling by the time I got to the Dock. I had already made the decision that if I couldn't get the ferry across, I was just going to pitch a tent nearby and go to sleep at 6pm. I was geniunelly that tired

I hope you went to the Quiraing ,I see you got to the fairy glen,on Skye. Most ferries in Scotland will accommodate bikes just turning up,except maliag . An your right our country is spectacular an I’m blessed to live here,hope you have a good time,an mind the saying here in Scotland about water ( as we do have plenty) “ over two stands an it’s fresh,dinae worry aboot the colour just smell it” if it good enough for the beasts it’s good enough for us.💁♂️👦🏻🏴🏍

The guys at the docks said usually it's not so bad, it was just because I was travelling during the Easter break, they were just so rammed

Hi Saff, the water from Loch Awe is fine to drink, have consumed gallons of the stuff over the years. Had I known you were in the area, you would have been more than welcome to drop by for a cup of real coffee about a mile from Connel bridge.

@@SaffySprocket I suppose you can't be too carefull these days, but I am sure that in rural Scotland no one would wish you any harm. Have you ever considered going on an adventure with one or two of your friends, although I prefer to bike alone as I can please myself without the hassle of keeping someone else happy.
