@@giuseppescuto3490 No problem in a Range Rover, and it would be perfect for a trip in Norway with it's smooth ride. 😊 4000km / 4 days - A bit of a car workout, but doable. We have talked about driving down to Spain, Alicante area, and I think it's about the same. Nordkapp is 1600km from where I live, so a bit of a drive if you are going to the top. 😅
@@giuseppescuto3490 Insane that, and a young thing to do. :) I'm 39 now and I notice I don't like to drive longer than 5-6 hours, after that I don't enjoy the drive anymore.
It's amazing, I changes so much in just a few km of driving, especially during spring and autumn. From green grass to winter mountain tops. Love it! 👌 Simon
I was exactly the same when I drove from Sweden to Norway and then over to meet you and Perry. I just had to stop and take pictures. There were times though when I just stopped and soaked in the views, and I didn't get the camera out and I still have those personal memories which are so special. Love your trips Simon as they keep my spirits up as I swap my D3 engine again 😅 I am looking forward to seeing what you and Erik get up to. Safe trips always and enjoy the ankerdrams 😁
Thanks Simon and glad there are more that get that "Stopping Feeling" 😊. And about taking in the views, I can remember so much because I have thought about how I should capture it in the best way. And also I get to rewatch it hundreds of times as I edit the videos. 😅 I can't belive you have to do another engine swap, and more so, that you have the motivation to do soo. I guess you know quite well how to do i t still, so you got that going for you. 😉 I have started the edit, just, listening to music and figuring out what the angle will be and the feel of the series, or movie, we will see. :) Best, Simon.
Sagolika vyer!! har många platser att besöka efter att sett detta. Har haft full upp med att ta mig runt på Helgelands kysten några år :) Stort Tack Simon för en mycket vacker film.
Helgelandskysten er magisk og siden jeg har vokst opp på Helgeland så er det vanskelig å ikke sette det som en favoritt. 😊 Folldal, Alvdal, Rondane, Ringebu, Vågåmo med alt omkring er myket å se og fine plasser å campe. 👍 Tronfjellet som vi filmet tidligere er helt rått! Tynset og sør/øst er mange fine skogsveier og et område vi blir å utforske mer fremover. 😊
Yes, I think anyone ever travelled Norway can relate to that. Especially as an overlander from abroad, having already covered some 1000kms just to get there, there's simply not enough time to soak in everything, let alone film or photograph everything you'd otherwise like to. Even if you'd spend your entire years vacation - which is 6 weeks where I'm from - is hard to cover everything. So yes. We sadly can relate.
I feel you Christian. And so much storage needed for 6 weeks of filming. 😅 Btw. Norway has 4+1 week, 4 is standard but most companies gives another week, so basically everyone has 5 weeks. I'm glad there is more people like me out there, I sometimes just have to pretend I don't see stuff. 😂 I think I can go Overlanding in Norway for the rest of my life and still not having seen it all. We started this year to drive hard to one valle and then explore everything in that local area, all the small hidden roads and points of interest. Makes for a fun twist, instead of driving for days and days seeing just glimpses.
Dude, stop it! Making me blush over here. 😊😊 I'm glad you liked it, you have seen a lot on my channel so you know if this was on the correct path on the improvement chart. ⤴
Fantastic scenery Simon. All your efforts filming have been so worthwhile. It's great to see the wilds of Norway. You are blessed for sure. Happy motoring 🚙
Thank you Andrew, it's good to hear. 😊 I am thankful every day for the fact that I am living in Norway, and especially when I go on overlanding in places like these. 😊
Thank you for sharing your pics. One day we would like to visit and see my wife’s brother and his family in Stavanger. Like so many countries, I don’t think i could ever say I’ve ‘seen’ Norway unless I spent months there. Like you, I get captivated by views. Sometimes to the exclusion of family members in the car 🤦♂️. The Disco would make travel so much easier. It’s tricky to find one in Oz with low km and properly looked after.
You are very welcome Mark! And good to hear I'm not the only one. 😊 I think if you planned a good trip for two weeks, then you could get a overview of what Norway has to offer, but as you say, to really have seen Norway, I think you must stay for a whole year to both experience the four seasons but also experience the transitions between the seasons. Nothing more magical than feeling the spring sun warming on your face, hearing the snow melting and the birds coming to life again, all while enjoying your morning coffee. 👌 Disco is good, but any wagon 4x4 would do the trick here in Norway at least. I do love the big volume you get inside a Disco 3 or 4 thought, can't deny I love the car. 🥰 Simon
Thank you so much! 😊 Makes me very happy to hear. I'm working on my storytelling skills and try to improve the quality even more in the upcoming Overlanding in Norway series, where we go into the mountains of Jotunheim. Simon
@@LandRoverDrive For me stay in this kind of storytelling and take all of us on the other side to feel the beauty of Norway 🇳🇴 and the beauty of Land Rovers as well. God reise
Thank you Peter and I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's never boring when going Overlanding in Norway, the landscape changes so much in only a few km's. 😊 Will be some BTS videos as I can't really go anywhere and not film. 😂 Simon
Thanks! The panel is solid and had no leaks or issue in the past 1.5 years now. The only thing is the quality of the paint job, looked good when new, but the paint, powder coating, has come loose at the lower rail. I think the painter hasn't done a good enough job, no reason for the powder coating to flake of if it has been done right. I would suggest getting it clean, without powder coating and maybe paint it your self. The surface needs a propper rub down and a propper primer for direkt to metal use. I haven't fitted the inner cabinet yet, but it will be going in this winter after I have done what I need to the discovery. Other than that, it's nice to have, I use it because I have it, and I think with the cabinet installed it will be much more used. As i have my bed on the inside I can't really put to much stuff there, other than in the standard drop compartment, and I use it to put my drone in and out. Plan is to put the compressor and recovery gear on that side. But time will tel, maybe it will become a charging stating for the camera gear. :) Best, Simon
My Biggest Problem While Overlanding in Norway is Norway is just not a overlanding country, its really hard to find roads not covered with tarmac, good stopping places are few and far between. There are no proper places designated for people with this hobby and people with 4x4 capable cars are mostly looked at as a shady bunch. Ironically LR commercials (even in Norway) are focusing a lot on how offroad capable the cars are. The views are great though
Not sure where you have been Terje, but my suggestion is to head mid center, east or north in Norway, and always take the back roads. The road on the other side of the valley/river has worked good for us to find less traveled gravel roads. At the west side of Norway there is much harder to find good camps, and why we don't go that far west. True, there is a lot of tarmac, and there's no really hard tracks, but we tend to find some hidden gems that are both fun and a little bit of a challenge. Still legal roads, I must point out. 😊 A good time to go is in the spring, when you can find the backcountry roads higher up the mountains are still covered with patches of snow and ice, makes for a bit of fun. 👍 I wouldn't go to Norway for a offroad challange, better to go elsewhere then. "Shady bunch" I can understand the feeling. But I have found that people are people and that if I talk to the locals, often they can tell us where we could set up camp and where it is possible to drive and be alone. Best, Simon
I see your problem and it’s definitely not for the off-roader. You come to Norway for the views. That being said, you can find some nice drives that are legal, which are challenging, not rock crawling, with some scary drops. If you want a challenge, came here during winter, late February to early March when there is heavy snowfall. 👍😊 Btw. I thought about making a overlanding in a leaf videos, as I have a 2015 24kw Leaf. Just to prove your point, that you can go in any car in Norway.
Overlanding in Norway is never boring and the views are endless! If you can, you should check it out! 🏔🇳🇴👌
