What an absolutely stunning landscape! I loved your video so much, it’s so authentic and really fun to watch. I am glad I found this channel. I am lucky to have the chance to go to Norway this year as well and now I am looking forward seeing your nice impressions.
Great video, would love to do something like this but worries me about getting bike over and either finding a bike box to take it back in or finding somewhere to leave my bike box. Would be good to know what kit you took on your trip!
It was pretty easy finding a bike box at the end of the trip. 2nd bike shop I visited. I have done kit in videos previously - have a look at my peaks video, half way through it has a little kit run down 🥰
Lovely footage! Myself and a couple of friends started out from Bergen and rode north across the islands and penisulas towards Sognefjord, back in 1993. I particularly remember on the second day out of Bergen, we'd stopped at a small store and some kids, maybe 10-12 years old, all wearing full rain clothes, were admiring our bikes. So i asked, mostly as a bit of just making conversation, "Does it always rain here?" And the one kid replied, in this dead pan resigned voice, "No, only 90% of the time." There's not much one can add after that.
Just one more thing about that ride. Once we'd reached Sognefjord we turned inland and eventually crossed over to Sweden. But the interesting bit is that the days on the coast were MUCH harder than the following climbs inland. Those islands were often steep and the road would climb from sea level to the top, then drop to a bridge and the next island. Truly exhausting. Sure, this was also the begining of the tour so we were not in the greatest shape, but I'll take a steady gradual climb over short steep ones any day.
Most of the cabins/log buildings, you see in upland areas of Norway are holiday homes/summer houses, infrequently occupied, in fact the porches and other suitable areas around those buildings can be used to sleep in, if you have the balls.
Sound went off at 3:35 after you said "Ahh, get the dry kit away quickly". I'm still watching so don't know if it comes back on yet 🤞 Edit; I'm not sure if that five minutes of footage is meant to be silent as it's mostly cycling along footage but it comes back on at 8:07 👍
The only ferry I booked was from Lysebotn. The others just turned up and paid. Google maps is a good help… click on the port and it shows the timetable. Good luck!
Lots of those hills where you think the top is just round every corner only for it to weave on into the distance. Did you set the date in advance or watch the forecast and go at short notice ?

Ah thank you so much! I really enjoyed Norway so much I hope you love it too!
Beautiful trip. Very inspiring. Love it. ❤
Thank you! I’m very glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the kind comment 🥰
Well, Norway looks absolutely amazing!
Stunning! You would love it
@@Sturgecycling I would indeed! That first campsite was frankly ridiculous!
@markburton8303 best campsite of the trip I think!
Thanks for bringing us along! Beautiful 🇺🇸
Thanks so much!

Oh really! That’s very interesting! Thanks! … ha ha is that the next camping challenge then 😂
just imagine if you set up your tent sleep outside the door and the people turned up.
It would be horrendous 😂 … think I prefer a stealth spot to be honest!!
Go girl keep it up👍

Ah not sure what’s happened! Processing an edit so see what happens now but thank you for letting me know!
No bother Lucy.
It was fine after that but I had a very talkative visitor 🙄 so I couldn't hear you properly anyway but I'll watch it in peace later 😁
@@tonypaddler 😂😂😂
Going to do the same route next week. I have no idea how to find and book the ferries, can you help?

I just had some some time free and the flights were reasonable. Planned probably a couple of weeks ahead
I’ve got no sound? Looks amazing through 😊
Tested and sound is working!
Ooh I see what you mean! Trying to fix it!
Do come and do the Camino living in Bilbao gretings
I would love to do that!
