zhlédnutí 594Před 4 měsíci
Well, it's a big day, as we ride one of those roads we targeted for the trip, one we have all seen on hundreds of pictures, the Atlantic Ocean Road. Oh, and boats, did we mention boats yet? :)

    Welcome back! I’ve been waiting a long time for this episode. I’m glad that you are back on the channel. I coincidentally discovered your channel some months ago, and I started following it. I was getting a little bit worried, if something had happened. As a Norwegian biker, living in the center of southern Norway, I have been riding all of these roads for decades. I know every one of them as my back pocket, and the sceneries honestly doesn't impress me so much, as I see them and ride through them every day. But they are nice, anyway. I’m glad you like them. And I must say - it’s charming to see how careful you are when riding on unknown roads. I must admit that I usually ride considerably faster than you do. That being said - on a couple of occasions, I had my heart up my throat, when you were riding on the left side (the wrong side) of the road through some tight twisties in some earlier episodes. You should be lucky to be alive! Anyway, I look forward to the rest of your roadstory, and if you need some advice or guidance for even better roads for your next trip, I would be glad to help you. Kind regards from Hans Petter Eide from Lillehammer, Norway.

      @hanspettereide3313 HI, thanks for the message. We had some family stuff so had to take a break from editing so all good now. Thanks for watching. I think the issue with the "side mounted" helmet view is it sometimes distorts the view of the road, please rest assured, we never move across the other side unless we have a view of the road ahead :)

    9:44 The weird thing is, the Gogs themselves are the only ones who never say it properly! For some reason, they can't pronounce the letter "L" within a word (not quite as bad as cockneys, but just as weird in their own way!). Ask a Gog (the nickname for a North Waliens!) to say "Bala" and you'll see for yourself!

    Many thanks for filming your trip. I enjoy the relaxed family feel to your adventures. The Atlantic Road is a bit of an anticlimax! You were lucky, it was very busy when we were there. How about a short video about your 3 bikes and the mods you have made to them to make your tours more comfortable etc😊

    We went to Norway in July and had good weather at first. We hoped to cross the Artic Circle but heavy rain and low temperatures defeated us. After the waitress mopped up the huge puddle surrounding us at our lunchtime table, we turned right over the mountains into warm dry Sweden. Really enjoy your videos which show ordinary folk getting the best from their biking holidays. Thanks for taking us along. Off to Ireland in April in my new Goretex clothing. Still taking waterproofs as well though!

    Well it was probably raining at home on that day too, but it doesn't stop the scenery from being epic on holiday rain or not. 😊 Rumours abound the UK to Norway ferry might get the green light again soon, makes 2 weeks in Norway more achievable and less rushed. Fingers crossed. 😅 Great video folks.

I won't be carrying quite the same amount of stuff as you as I won't be wandering too far from home in my mid-70s. Thanks for sensible advice not OTT. One passing thought jump start kit etc. I'm blessed with a little bike that has both electric and kick starts. It's a shame that all bikes aren't the same. Best wishes from Paul in the Midlands
