  • Join me on an unforgettable motorcycle journey along the stunning Irish coastline that didn't quite go as planned! 🚴‍♂️🌧️ From endless traffic jams to unexpected downpours and finishing with the worst campsites imaginable, this trip had it all. Watch as I navigate through the chaos and still find the beauty and humour in the adventure. Don't miss the scenic views, the real-life struggles, and a few laughs along the way!

    If a campsite doesn't accept tents it's just a carpark with extra steps 😆

    Sounds like the National Trust exorbitant charging as usual. Good on you Saffy for not falling for that, ride safe girl

      It was so expensive 😱

    • @fuglbird
      @fuglbird Před měsícem +1

      At least the parking is optional. Access to some of our national treasures in Denmark will cost you 17 GBP plus parking. Retired people still pay taxes covering the major expenses for maintenance and staff but are reluctant to pay that much. The result is that most visitors are foreign and the places are almost empty outside high season.

    • @SaffySprocket
      @SaffySprocket  Před měsícem

      @fuglbird Wow, that's quite the fee! 😲 It’s a shame when it puts people off visiting. Glad you shared that - it’s interesting to see how different countries handle access and costs. 🏞️🚗💸

    Some of the best/funniest memories I have from touring on the bike is the things that went wrong & how we dealt with them. In hindsight they were hilarious, but at the time I was pulling my hair out in frustration 😂

    When was the point where you started looking for places that were nicely hidden from direct view of more frequented places on your hunt for a camp ground? 😊

    Morning Staffy. My brother-in-law is Irish. Naturally he has family living in Irland who he visits. Without fail whenever he returns from Irland he says the same thing every time. That being, Jesus i forgot how much it rains there! 🤣. So pack for a typical British summer - waterproofs and wellingtons!!! Safe ride girl and i still love hearing the giggles and dramars you get in during your riding adventures 🫶.

    If you are having a grey day, ignore the visitor centres and find somewhere nice to eat, instead; eg a pub. Giants Causeway. Were there any giants there? No, of course not. They were all down the pub.
