This week we are looking to take on Romsdalseggen Ridge, with incredible views over the fjords and the town of Åndalsnes, not to mention pretty scary drops from both sides of the narrow ridge.
Nicola isn't sure if she's going to be able to do it, but we will take it one step at a time.
This one is tough .... very tough indeed !!
❤️ Thanks for watching and we will catch up next time.
Nicola and Nigel

Did thé hike in June 2023...in full snow👍but thé way down was hell..i hate that forest 🤭
@@evabrits549 it was indeed a nitemare .. but what a hike … what a day … what a country !!
This was an amazing achievement. It’s on my list for our visit to Norway. I’m not sure if it may be too much for me but Nicola is inspiring me to have a go 😬
Thanks so much ... you will have such an amazing time in Norway .. we are sure we will go back at some point .. the views and hikes are incredible :)
Flipping heck . Really funny episode . First time whacking you . From Norway
Thanks a lot .. twas indeed a fun hike :)
Give that woman a medal 🏅, well done both of you 🎉
Thanks so much … loved it and would highly recommend if ever in the area
That looks amazing. It’s going on our list for next year. Fingers crossed we are as lucky with the weather as you were.
The days around it were mixed so we had to plan … fingers crossed .. it’s stunning :)
A few of the locals run over this ridge on their way home from work. Great effort!
Wow … now that’s one heck of a commute :)
@@TheTravellersCookeBook yes, they are super fit. Above the average league. But you should both be proud of yourselves.
Well done Nicola! You’ll be sad to leave Norway I bet
Easily the best country we have ever visited
In awe of you Nicola! My partner and I both said this was an amazing achievement!!
Thanks so much .. I’m getting more confident the more I do and I hear we have a few more challenging ones ahead of us :)
Anxiety is 90% mental, we always fear the worst. Brilliant again from Nicola, I would probably bottle it.
Slow and steady was our mantra … oh and cake :)
Nicola your a star .... what a fab climb, definitely a place on my bucket list to visit. Again a fab watch, a hard climb but you two always bring the humor along. 👌
Hehe … thanks so much … it was wonderful and a great way to slowly spend the day
That was amazing and terrifying at the same time.
I had to remind my husband that we dreamed of walking the Andes when we were young - which we of course never did. I wonder why we didn't explore the domestic Norwegian mountains more instead. Presumably we were so used to running up to the nearest mountain top, which we did every summer - at the place we happened to be - that we did not consider it a goal to have in life.
Now my legs tremble as much when I get up from the stool as Nicola's did when she climed Romsdalseggen, so that time is over for me.
It was indeed both amazing and terrifying .. and indeed some more ‘interesting’ hikes to do … I think we all get used to our local and it’s only when we travel do we attempt new things .. it’s why we like to travel in the van.. that said there’s a lot of positives in regards to getting to know a local area very well .. see the seasonal changes … the different wildlife … both have their place :)
Fantastic 🙂👍
It was indeed wonderful
😀@@TheTravellersCookeBook
fantastic vlog, well done.
Thanks so much … and thanks for watching
... oops posted too soon!! I was in bits watching that! You are both such great narrators of your journey- open honest and relatable. Loving this series ! xxx
Hehe … it was a fun dander .. a few more ‘interesting’ hikes coming up :)
Nicola, I am in awe of what you achieved here. I could not have done it! 😮
Thanks so much .. the feeling after made it all worthwhile :)
Nicola..... MY SHERO!!!!!!!! Utterly amazing I was in
Hats off o Nicola!!!! Not sure I could have done that
It was a tad scary indeed but the views helped take our minds of it :)
Nicola, you spoke a couple of times about needing to be strong, you have so much strength, so obvious in the challenges you take on. What a walk! By the way, you did OK too, Nigel!
Thanks so much Tony .. and for your kind support on kofi … very much appreciated … ha and Nigel is also pleased someone noticed he was on the hike too :)
Well done Nicola 🎉
Thanks so much
Well done Nicola.
Thank you :)
1st one here today... watching your HOT road towards the HOT mountaintop. Extremely well done👍👍
So a Q; you were concerned about the cold.... ?? was the trip hotter or colder than expected, on the whole :)
Did you snowbathe or at least make snowangels?
We have been rather fortunate with the weather … planning around better weather days for hikes such as this one, keeping the wetter days for work :)
@@TheTravellersCookeBook Smart choice 😉👍👍
I took this hike 28th of July this year. We had a bit fog at the most scary parts, so happy about that. Been a goal for me, so happy I managed it ❤
It’s fantastic isn’t it … so glad we did it … well done yourself as well :)
Looks amazing and yes pretty scary in a few places for those like me with no head for large drops!
100% most incredible country we have ever visited ..
Fun fact: The top sign before you started your ascent (3:20 mark) pointed to Coffee Pot Bothy.(Kaffikjelbua)
Not so fun fact (but fact nonetheless) the abundance of small rocks is partly due to 10,000 years of rain, wind, ice erosion AND this being the last place where the ice age glacier melted and left its lightest stones.
The ice age can also be seen by the roundness of the lower "peaks" an the U shaped valleys (they were not made by rivers). The ridge and really steep sides may well have been above the ice sheet during the end of the last ice age.
WELL DONE!
Thanks … I wonder could we have gotten a fresh brew of the good stuff there ? :)
If I had been young and fit, I would have made the trip - but you would never have gotten me out on Kjeragbolten, the rock that is wedged between the cliffs further south. It is otherwise strange to see how trampled the forest floor is on the way down. There is no doubt that there is a queue to walk this hike.
Yes we considered that hike but not really doable with our plans … but to be honest Norway is so beautiful I think you could pick any hike … and it would be amazing .. that’s what we are finding :)
Hehe, people have no idea how heavy it is to walk downhill when its over a longer period.
edit: And as you know now, the storm created a mayhem
Yes indeed … terrible to watch the impact the storm has had :(
? What was scary?
Please, speak less, show more landscape, not you!
It’s a beautiful day …
