I tried to wait out the bad weather, but as there is no improvement in sight, I have no other option then to just start riding! The rain of the past couple of days have turned some of the mountain roads into thick mudslides and soon my tyres are caked all around with mud, leaving me with zero grip...

I think your Africa series has likely done more for African tourism than all the tourist boards combined. It certainly has opened my eyes. Western media generally ignores Africa unless there is violence or disaster.

I get a little nervous when she rides so close to the edges of the road where there are steep drop off on the sides, the mud puddle at 21:10 got me a little this time. Narrow bridges (19:49) are another concern, it might just be the way the camera presents it but still, my heart goes up in my throat sometimes. Noraly's ridding skills are amazing, getting better and better with all the riding she is doing.

Oh dear Noraly . I must admit my heart was in my throat as I watched you negotiate that mud pie road out from where you were staying, and where you hope to return to write what I'm sure will be an exciting book. I've logged a half a million miles on bikes in my life, and yet I have never seen anyone with more appetite for precarious adventure as you seem to endlessly thirst for. You are an amazing rider with way more skill than I have ever been able to muster in over 60 years of riding bikes of every description. I must say you offer more hope for humanity as you adventure on than anyone I have ever observed take on the challenges you so skillfully face daily.

That is Savanna's work. Keep the speed up… and the bike want fall. Let the bike do it's things, and don't give to much input. The bike will keep it self up. But that is super difficult… Some times mission impossible. - She might have made it, going a little bit faster. But then again if she fall, the fall get much harder. Sooo… It's not one right way to do it. Its just very hard.

@@Gismo3333 Savanna has no mechanism for dealing with slippery mud, and I should know I've dropped enough bikes because of riding into slippery mud. The best you can do as the tyres lose traction, and the wheels slide sideways, is try and lay the bike down as gently as you can. And yes, my personal exprience of laying bikes down because one or both wheels went sideways in slippery mud, is why I'm confident I would have spent less time upright on that ... I'd call it a road, but it doesn't seem like the right word for it. The only reason Noraly spent so much time upright, is because she is a very good rider... although I'm going with the excuse that she's had a lot more practice than me.

More speed and standing on the pegs shifting your body quickly to balance and stay upright is best, but hard to do knowing you're in the middle of nowhere and knowing that to damage the bike would be hugely problematic. In this case, it might be better in terms of safety to chug along and 'paddle' instead.

Once with my eyes glued to the track, road ahead, mentally negotiating all the traitorous potholes and other obstacles as well as the speedometer, then a second time just enjoying the scenery as a passenger putting my body and soul into Noraly's skilled driver's hands. Thank you for a wonderful way of discovering such beautiful countries.

That was definitely the most mud I've ever seen you ride in, except for the time the clutch plate burned out on Basanti in Iran. I'll bet you were exhausted when you got to your destination. We were cheering for you and Savanah the whole way. Honestly, I have no idea how you made through that bog. Amazing! This was a real adventure! Very happy you're safe. Thanks, Noraly!😎

If you were in the Bvumba then yeah, you can't get much better than that for a retreat spot. A little piece of Heaven. You sure chose a bad time to try and move Lorany. At least you only fell over and weren't travelling at speed!! I have photos taken from that exact spot that you stopped overlooking the Chimanimani mountains too. Thanks again for reviving lovely memories of a beautiful country. God Bless you.

I felt a empathetic rise in heartbeat when your adrenaline spiked during that epic mud battle. We all know you are supposed to take a moment and calm down before attempting to pick up a fallen bike, but that darn adrenaline dictates otherwise. And I’m sure it didn’t help that the muddy track looked endless at the moment. I love how you cheerily summed up the day’s ride as another fun adventure :) That mountainous region certainly is beautiful.

One of these episodes 81, 82 and 83 made me discover Itchy Boots channel but the painful thing is that I can't recall which exact one! Since then, I've never missed an episode. Even when I was on vacation in Uganda, I never missed her episodes on a smart tv which displayed better than my hand held gargets. I'm getting so lucky day by day since I've watched over 80% of her channel. Thx Noraly❤🙏

I couldn't pick it up once let alone several times. Anyway I'm so glad I found your channel here. You're an incredible person, love and respect from UK.

Sister, I got so worried in the mud: we are all riding with you! Stay focused on the road when it's dangerous, you don't need to speak to explain things, your well-being is what we care about the most. Take it easy, life is not a race, if you enjoy a place, stay a little longer, you can film the area, the food (especially the food), how the local people live and so on... Don't​ rush! 😊😘😉💖😁🤗🙏

That drone footage was stunning Noraly. As a kid I spent many happy holidays in those mountains. My grandparents had a holiday cottage in that area. Wow what a work out getting through that mud. I am sure you will find the Chimanimani equally as beautiful and the town formerly known as Melsetter which I think is now called Chimanimani use to be (and hopefully still is) a beautiful place.
