It was spectacular! A fantastic ride 😀 Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoyed the rest of the series. Next episode on Wednesday night Sean and Emily
Another amazing video😁, you are much better at making vids, than you are at singing😂, thank God. Glad weater was good. Liked and shared. Wednesday cant come fast enough
Thanks, glad you are still enjoying them! hahah so what your saying is i shouldn't pursue the singing 😂. So grateful the weather was good for this part of the journey -we can easily do the southern part of Norway again but to get this far North requires a lot more time. Thanks for watching and appreciate the sharing! Sean and Emily
Glad you enjoyed it! It took a long time to find the right song so nice to hear you liked it! Thanks as always for your support -next one out tonight. Sean and Emily
Hi Steve, we went mid September and got home early October ..we might have left it a bit late in the season although it was nice and quiet and we did get lucky with the weather ….eventually😁 Here’s the full playlist and the route maps can be found either in the descriptions of pinned comment. ruclips.net/p/PLl_mRzVHVQ0wBDli8y7IjlY2Q4MBPnA0u&si=KCjrOJfxIoG5Cee8
This video brought back brilliant memories of my ride to Nordkapp on 13 June 2008. The scenery brought it all back to me! Your lucky, believe me. We hit a snow storm, lasting over an hour. I honestly thought we would never get to Nordkapp. Then suddenly, dry roads but incredibly cold. The windchill I will never forget at the globe. Great video guys, well done. 👌👏
Hi Ewen, Glad the video brought back memories! The weather is so unpredictable and yeah i think we were lucky with the weather -especially for this leg of the journey. To be caught in a snow storm up there must not have been fun! Glad it cleared up for you though, it was cold on the night ride up (i think it dropped to about 6 degree). Really glad you enjoyed the series so far and hope to hear from you again. Next episode is out Wednesday. Sean and Emily
I hope you could do a live release sometime, were you could answer in the chat. I understand you live a busy life, but if you have time, i would really like that. 😊
Hi, yeah we thought about doing that at some point -it's a good idea 😊. We have also done a Question and Answer episode at the end of a tour and we will do the same for this one. So if you have any questions feel free to shoot us an email and we will try and answer them in th final Heading North Episode. seanandemilytravels.com/contact Thanks! Sean and Emily
We’ll really enjoyed that ride scenery amazing , I had a good ride too pouring rain for about 3 hrs with no reindeer 😂 argh well enjoyed your ride , looking for to the next one 😎Graham L
Hi Graham! Glad you enjoyed it -this was a fantastic ride into the sunset! Hehe 3 hours rain! -sometimes it just doesn't stop, hope you didn't get too wet! Great to hear form you again Sean and Emily
There was not any tunnel when I went to the Nordkapp the first time... that was in 1988, coming from the 5th Intl. Conference on Permafrost held in Trondheim... as a young researcher... tempus fugit! Watching your footage my appetite gets stimulated to return one more time....
Hi, I bet the journey was a little more challenging in 1988, the infrastructure of these road routes is amazing now, the bridges, the tunnels and road conditions are great! That sounds like you had an awesome time and fantastic that you combined it with a Conference (the permafrost info didn't put you off heading more north then 😊. It would be awesome if you made the journey again -let us know if you do 😊. Thanks for sharing your experience and we hope you enjoy the rest of the series, on Wednesday night we post the actual Nordkapp episode. Sean and Emily
Yeah very true -i was on high alert always 😎. I have once seen a Moose in Canada and as you say they are huge!!! Thanks for your comment! Sean and Emily seanandemilytravels.com/
Thanks very much! I don't think we can cope with you watching them backwards - it's like the inception version of heading North 😂 The question is will you watch them again in the right order once you are back to the start? Glad you are enjoying them and thanks as ever for watching 😊 Sean and Emily
Wow those reindeer were fabulous! Sean & Emily what are you doing to me? I wanted to go to the Picos de Europa now I want to go to Norway!! 🤨🤣And there is a motorcycle "only" ferry from the UK to Norway! 🙌
Hi! Yes they were!! We were expecting to see 1 or 2 but it’s just be in the hundreds now and they haven’t lost their charm. Well given the choice I know were we would go again (we went to the Picos this year too) 😊. Norway is spectacular!!! Plan for rain though 😁 Oh is that the new startup ferry I heard rumours of? I had no idea it was for bikes only -if it’s true that’s fantastic!!! Thanks for watching and Wednesday night we post the episode of us finally reaching the Nordkapp! Sean and Emily
We are planning our trip to Norway in our campervan at the moment and our goal was the Arctic circle at Storforshei but after watching your videos we are considering going all the way to the top. Great video guys
Hi Paul, What a super destination with a camper van! (there were times when it was pouring down with rain that those camper vans looked like a very good idea!) I would say it's definitely worth the drive if you have the time, we decided to spend less time in the south as we can get back here again in the future and to maximize the time in the North. Our route is available on our website and we will write the travel blog soon: seanandemilytravels.com/the-heading-north-tour Out of interest, did you find our video from Van life videos or do you also watch motorcycle touring video's? Thanks for watching Sean and Emily
😍 Congratulations both of you for your Nordkapp Trip and the video you posted and shared with us. I saw two videos , enjoyed both very much. I have a question, which time of the year did you travel ?? My collegue and I will leave on May 25 this year towards Nordkapp, finally after 3 years preparing the adventure and waiting for the right moment to leave. We are very Excited about this trip 🏍🏍🤩🤩 , in total will travel about 30 days. Norway going up and Finnland coming back , leaving from Spain , about 12.500 km. 👍
Hi Dani! Thanks very much, a journey to the Nordkapp is a special one indeed so we are sure you will enjoy your trip as much as we did 😊. We travelled at the end of the season so September. Weather was okay, rained a lot but wasn’t too cold. Regardless of the weather dies it’s awesome 😊. We left from Switzerland and ended up doing 10,000 Km (Norway killed the tires so be sure to have new ones before you leave or get some on the way) Here’s the full playlist but it sounds like you have it well planned already, there’s links in the descriptions to all the routes. Have an awesome trip!!!! 😎🙌🏻 ruclips.net/p/PLl_mRzVHVQ0wBDli8y7IjlY2Q4MBPnA0u&si=deYJM-xZGLp7oITH
@@SeanandEmily Thank u very much for your response. Meanwhile I have seen a few more videos of yours , a lot of work put in there from both of you. You really share a lot of information of your trips, not everybody does that. So, I am really glad I found your work, congratulations. I make sure about the tires, thanks for the reminder, the bike is going to the service in 2 weeks time , before we leave. One last thing, I live in Spain but i am Swiss, born in Basel and grew up in Lugano , where I travel often during the year because my family lives there. Just wanted to let you know. Once again thanks and who knows if one day our path cross, maybe in Switzerland. Dani.
Thanks very much, always appreciated when people recognize the work that goes into making these 😊. Nice to grow up in Lugano! We were there on the weekend -great weather as always before crossing the Gothard tunnel and entering winter again 😄 I'm sure our paths will cross someday, we are really excited for you and your trip as we had such a good time riding to the Nordkapp! Sean and Emily
Hi David. It's been one of the best trips we have done so totally recommend it. We went September and got home the first week in October. I think we were lucky (on the whole) with the weather but i think we would probably try to go mid August next time. If you are traveling form the UK i hear there is a ferry starting up next year for bikes. Thanks for watching and for your encouraging comment. Sean and Emily
The strech between Alta and Skaidi (Sennalandet) is consider to be the straightest road in Norway ;) And the part from Olderfjord to North Cape is the windiest, but looks like you guys where lucky with both the wind and weather. And for the sami people, to get a white reindeer calf means luck.. Awesom drone footage.
Hi Halvard, we were thinking that there can't be any straighter roads than this so thanks for confirming that! The scenery was unexpectedly beautiful especially with the weather being so calm and dry. Also the last leg to the Nordkapp was really special, sun setting and the light on the water made for a magical ride. Oh really, we actually saw a few white reindeer -they are easy to spot that the others too =) Thanks for your encouraging comment and we hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Sean and Emily
Hi, we hope you enjoyed the video. Yeah a dedicated video would be a good idea 👍🏻. We discuss a lot of our equipment in the first video ruclips.net/video/1CeVk7UXI7Y/видео.htmlsi=7WA9maoRM3rGFRFJ

Totally agree with you on the journey towards Nordkapp. I went there for the first time last year on my 250 Rally (I'm 58 and norwegian) and it was epic. Sorry for the cost of travel here but at least for you the exchange rate is favourable at the moment. For us it is almost impossible to travel abroad. Cheers.
HI Rune, nice to hear from you and thank you for commenting. Well done on reaching the Nordkapp-it's an epic journey and a cool destination! The Cabins and camping has helped keep costs down and also we cook our meals most of the time so this has also been a big help. You live in a magnificent country -there must be endless routes and places to explore 👍 Thanks for watching and Wednesday we post our Nordkapp Video. Hope to hear form you again Sean and Emily seanandemilytravels.com/
Hi Rune, thanks so much and you are very welcome. We love hearing from people like yourself. It would be lovely to meet you on the road someday we will look out for a 250 rally the next time we are in Norway =) Kind regards Sean and Emily
@@SeanandEmily Hi Sean and Emily, thank you. I'm sure we will meet sometime. I love the communication between the two of you and I wish you all the best. Rune.
Thank you for taking us on your trip to the North Cape. ps. Feels like it would be a hardcore drinking game if you take a shot every time em says wow or amazing, and a beer every time there are reindeer on the road 😂
You are very welcome, Thanks for joining us for the journey! Hahah that indeed would be a hardcore drinking game -let us know how you get on with that (warning there's more reindeers and spectacular scenery to come) 😂 Thanks for your comment and continued support! Next episode out Wednesday. Sean and Emily
Hi John. It sure does! Something I didn't think I would need until I got them! Combined with the Heated vests we are always toasty. We hope you are enjoying the series. Thanks for commenting Sean and Emily
Hi, I want to know which camera did you use to shoot this beautiful video and do you record the conversations via the intercom?with Bluetooth Best regards From Berlin Murat😊
The sami has lived there as natives for a looong time, it took you 1 min to disrespect their culture. Well done. This is their way of life. They dont bother you, so please dont bother them. They have a far less impact on this planet than the rest of us. The lack of respect in the world today is sickening.
Once we have chosen the best of the thousands of deer pictures lol we will put them on this webpage along with the entire trip photographs =) seanandemilytravels.com/the-heading-north-tour
Usually not but in Norway we seem to be stopping a lot more to take in the scenery, as we have a lot of Km to cover this means big days. If we get to the '2' hours away point then this is usually the time to knuckle down and get going as we can do this without stopping.
Another great video incredible
Thanks Jeff! Glad you enjoyed it.
