I have been watching your videos about your trip throughout Norway and it was great ! what I am left with is this: Even if you came to Norway in one of the coldest and most rainy summers recorded in history , you still kept your mood high! Loved your content, it was really really good There is even stuff I, as a Norwegian didn't know about. As a traveler vlog: 10/10. However, lots and lots more to see! 10/10! No:11/10!
Hi Helge, thank you so much for that heartfelt comment! It means the world to us to hear such encouraging words! This was a dream trip of ours and no amount on rain was going to stop us enjoying it! -had no idea it was one of the rainiest summers on record lol. We're delighted to hear that you've enjoyed the series! If you happen to know anyone else who might appreciate it, we would really appreciate it if you could share it with them. Next episode out tonight. Thanks again Sean and Emily 😀

@@SeanandEmily I will definitely share with family and friends 😊 and watching your journey to Nordkapp as I am typing this 😊 Raindeers in the north are domesticated animals and you almost never have them as wild animals, as you can have in small quantites in the south. In the north the indigenous Sami people herd them all year around. Winter and summer 🌞
Hi Helge, thanks so much for sharing it really means a lot to us and helps the channel to grow =) . That's interesting, we did see some tags on some of the reindeers which did make us wonder if they were domesticated. This is a very natural way, they appear to have the freedom to roam about which is nice. Hearding them in the winter must be a task!! Thanks again for watching! Sean and Emily
Amazing to see my small corner of the world through your eyes :) As a local I often forget the beauty of my surroundings, but watching this makes me appreciate it all over again :)
Hi, yeah that's often the way. We had an amazing time in Norway so much so that I think we ended up making almost 50 episodes in the heading North Playlist! Really great to hear from you and we are very glad you enjoyed the video, we hope you enjoy the rest of the playlist =)
As a fellow Norwegian motorcyclist rider. At a ferry lineup station, create your own queue. Pick the outmost lane. The ferry peronnelll will like to stack their cargo as easy as possible. A separate lane of motorcyclists in a separate lane makes the boarding easier. Happy journies forwards!
Ahh good tip! We were worried that the first lanes would fill up and then they say there isn't enough room -but i guess there's always room for bikes. You live in a beautiful country! we are already looking forwards to returning. Thanks for watching and we hope you are enjoying the series. Next one is out tonight Sean and Emily
Hi, you’re very welcome and we hope you have enjoyed the heading North playlist. All of the important locations are mentioned in the descriptions and also a link to the route which can be downloaded via Calimoto. We have just toured Scotland filming the next big series and had an amazing time! We hope you have a great time and it’s great to hear that the videos are useful. 😎👍🏻
Yes you're totally right there! There's no right or wrong route as one will be blown away by the scenery no matter which way you go 😀. Thanks for watching and we appreciate your commenting. Sean and Emily
Wow…..Sean & Emily what an episode. The views were outstanding. Your videos are so inspirational and your choice of music is fantastic. We want to take our motorhome Nessie, so called because she’s a monster and resides in Scotland, and our scooter Jet, to Norway and your videos are giving us fantastic ideas. Thanks for sharing. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
Hi Irvine & Karen, so happy that you are enjoying the Heading North Playlist! This tour was fantastic and there was so much to see. Nessie would love it there! Our routes can be found in the description of each episode in case you need to know in more detail where we went. Thanks for your support 😊👍
I`m glad that you guys got a full day riding with decent weather! The island with a lake is Skorpa witch have a POV-camp during WW2, a lot of prisoner died during the war... Looking forward to the next episode ;)
Yeah so happy the weather was good for this day -would have been a shame not to see those views! Wow! We had no idea Skorpa had a history like that -in fact glancing at the island we didn't even think anyone had been on it! Thanks for sharing that info. Next one is out tonight 😀 Sean and Emily
Another amazing video. Love the chats on the bike, makes me feel the vibe alot better. Sean is correct, the hight north is less famous because of its remotness. But it is the best. Stunning views, perfect editing. ❤ and yes, i will like, share, and also be waiting for the next one tomorrow😀❤️🇳🇴❤️
Hi Jon! Great to hear from you again so soon 😀. Yeah we are really glad we added the microphones a few tours back. It's cool that anyone willing to travel the distance is rewarded with the beauty of the far North. Thanks so much for sharing it really means a lot to us! Next one is out same time tonight 😀 Sean and Emily
Yeah we said the same thing! We needed to find some new Interjections as we were running out 😂. Absolutely love seeing the reindeer -there is more and more as we head further north! Thanks for watching! Sean and Emily
Thanks Jonny, blue sky and blue lakes a real treat on this tour! Great to be able to get the camera out without the umbrella lol. If you would like to see more of our Photography more examples can be found on our website under the Tours and Travel Tabs (Norway Blog coming soon). seanandemilytravels.com/ Thanks for following our journey and for your positive feedback! Sean and Emily
The mountains you saw just after the second ferry is called «Lyngsalpan» or something like the Lygenalps. Quite famous actually - as many people also foreigners come to ski there (and get killed in avalanches as well…)
Thanks for the info! Guessing there is a lot of off-piste sections then where the avalanche danger is high. Beautiful part of Norway and the ferry crossing was fantastic! Thanks for watching and the next one is out tonight. Sean and Emily
Lovely see the landscape. Any chance we could see the route a little more clearly. I couldn’t work out which two ferries you would’ve used to get to the E6? Looking forward to the next one 😊
@bikerintheblood Hi, Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your comment. If you drop down the Description box you will find timestamps of the locations of the main stops. The two ferry's we used were: Svensby - Breivikeidet Ferry Olderdalen - Lyngseidet Ferry Next one is out tonight 😊 Sean and Emily
The two ferries were to get from Tromsø back to the E6 as a shortcut over the ullsfjord and lyngenfjord, no need to take them but saves a lot of gas and cost since they are free.
Hi Dave, this tour was September (so we get to the Nordkapp mid September) -it was about 8 degrees at the top. Next episode out in just over an hour. Sean and Emily
If you had taken the other way around, you would have seen more beautiful mountains in Nordkjosbotn and Skibotn, pluss the mountains you saw. I think you guys missed out. The signs you saw, at the end of the video, were road signs for reindeer and moose. Greetings from Norway
You're probably right, as we came to Tromso on the E8 we didn't want to double back on ourselves and ride the same road twice although as you say that section does look stunning too! That said the ferry crossing (Olderdalen Lyngseidet) was stunning so perhaps the 868 road would have been a good option too. All the more reason to come back and do it all again 😀. We hope you are enjoying the series and thanks for watching. Sean and Emily
Nice video. Too late now, obviously, but you would have saved time riding via NORDKJOSBOTN given the waiting for departure… A bit longer but without any ferry rides… Ride safe 😊
Yeah ironically we took this route to save time!! 🤣 Upto this point every short ferry crossing had been a maximum of 20 min wait, so over an hour was a bit frustrating -will be sure to check the ferry times next time. Although the views form the second ferry (Olderdalen Lyngseidet) were spectacular! Thanks for watching Sean and Emily
This must be the best yet!! Just so jaw droppingly (Is that a word?) 🤣beautiful 🤩a masterpiece of editing and a absolute pleasure to watch, thank you for sharing 💯🏆
If it's not a word it should be! 🤣 Thanks so much for your encouraging comments -we really have love making these episodes! Next episode is out tonight, thanks for watching. Sean and Emily
Hi John, i think it was about 10-15 degrees in this episode but it dropped to as low as 8 degrees as we got further north. This was mid/late September. On some shots you can see the temperature on the TFT screen 😊 (might have to put the quality settings to highest to read it) Thanks for watching, next episode is out tonight and Wednesday. Thanks again Sean and Emily
Hi Tim, thanks and glad you enjoyed it. Here's the full playlist of the tour: th-cam.com/play/PLl_mRzVHVQ0wBDli8y7IjlY2Q4MBPnA0u.html&si=mf6eB71cEaHu_cqf Regarding the audio yes you are right, we use the DJI Wireless mics. Thanks for watching. =)
We could be tempted to live here very easily 😀 -although souvenirs are limited to stickers and patches and not farm houses 😂. Thanks for watching -maybe we ride past this farm house in the next episode that's out tonight. Sean and Emily
Wow, I forgot how good the scenery is up there. Awesome. I got stopped speeding when I went up. Fortunately, the police officer was called away, and I got off with a warning, phew. Great video 👌
Yeah it's really beautiful! -makes one forget to monitor the speedo lol =). Wow that's fortunate -i bet you couldn't believe your luck! -speaking to a hotel owner said one of his guests was caught and got deported form Norway -had to pay 3k and the costs for transporting his bike to Sweden -worse part is he's banned form Norway. Thanks for watching and for commenting! Next one out tonight. Sean and Emily
Hi Felix, thanks for your positive comment we appreciate it. We are using the Aventuro Traveler Carbon form Touratech -done about 20,000 km with these helmets and they have been great. We will add a review to our website at some point of our equipment (the suit review is already up) seanandemilytravels.com/motorcycles/ride-in-style-and-comfort-compaero-world-traveller-review-of-the-best-motorcycle-gear-for-touring Thanks for watching, next one is out tonight. Sean and Emily
Hi John! Hahahh we are well aquatinted with the various TH-cam Policing organisations 😂. I think we might actually be calling on the Elk and Moose police soon to identify some rather large looking reindeers! Great to hear form you and we hope you are enjoying the series! Sean and Emily
@@Jackrabbit4520i like how you just like that called me a fool. You dont know me at all, well. You are probably better than all of us combined. Thats fine. I wish you all the best❤
@nafoviking Oh wow Congratulations! We haven't tried the R1300 out yet but reports are all positive! -can' wait to see the adventure version. Haha yeah totally my fault -I don't have a bad word to say about the GS! 😀
The GSA has taken us to every country in Europe without any problems, has carried our luggage, kept us comfortable for 12 hour riding days, been fun on the twisties, let us ride longer without fuel stops and given us some of the best memories ever. Sure any motorcycle can do the basic requirement of transporting you but if that was all that mattered we would all ride 125 cc motorcycles. As a tall rider riding two up I find the R1250 comfortable and i'm happy to ride all day everyday on it. While acknowledging the GS's remarkable qualities, I am open to exploring other options that might better suit our needs. I welcome your recommendations for a motorcycle that matches or surpasses the GS's capabilities.
And the 255th thanks for your support! 😁 It’s been an incredible journey and Wednesday night we post the episode of us finally reaching the Nordkapp! Thanks for watching Ake! Sean and Emily

Incredible roads on the sides of the fjords, especially with the sunshine, they scenery is so beautiful!
yeah riding right next to the water is mesmerizing at times and when the sun shines the colour of the water is beautiful!
