    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!

    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.

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.
