- Our 11 week adventure to the extreme north of Europe is continuing and this week we're in the north of Sweden, visiting a super spectacular rapids on the Pite river. They call Storforsen rapids but we reckon you could also call them a waterfall. Either way, they're truly awesome.

The water tank pipe segment had me thinking your level of planning and resourcefulness is off the charts!
Thanks. Do you know the 6 Ps? Proper Planning Prevents Particularly Poor Performance. There's a different word for 'Particularly' but I can't use it here!
The other apt phrase is; 'Failing to plan is planning to fail'. Seriously though, you need to be well prepared up here.
Thanks again for watching, Sarah & Ben.
Enjoyed that. Thank you for the VLOG.
Glad you enjoyed it Alan, it’s really nice of you to say. Hope you stay with us, we have loads of exciting content to show you in the coming weeks. Sarah
If someone had recommended a video of a frozen Swedish river, I'd probably think it sounded boring. However, having watched a couple of your other videos, I didn't want to miss anything by skipping this one. It was definitely the right decision and the reviews of the facilities available must be very useful to others who plan to head that way.
Thank you so much Peter. We really appreciate your comments. It was a truly awesome spot. Friends of ours, who are Swedish, went there a few weeks ago and the rapids were at another level, unbelievable!
very nice rapids were amazing
Thanks a lot Graham for watching. We were absolutely blown away by the sheer power and beauty of Storforsen as you could probably tell! Hope to hear from you again. Sarah
Another great episode! Thanks for the Bullfinch close-up. We are just beginning to see grass here, rain is washing the snow away.
Glad you enjoyed it! Great to hear from you. Lots more bird life to come in future episodes. We always think of you when we are enjoying the birds. Where we are now in Lofoten, Norway the big thaw is well underway too. Love to you both. Sarah and Ben.
From a DNA Ethnicity test result had this week apparently I have 3.1% Finnish and 27.7% Scandinavian so you are viewing the land of my ancestors and giving me the chance to enjoy!
Hey Rob. Great to hear from you. Who knew…a real Viking buddy🤣! Love it! Keep watching, there is so much more for you to enjoy. 😘
Wow, loved the views of the river and great drone shots Ben. Stay safe both ❤😊
Thank you Paul. We knew you’d love the river. 😘❤️
Definitively Nordic countries are on my bucket list now.
I've seen other vanlife videos about Nordic countries on huge channels and there's woods, woods, woods, lake, woods, ..., but quite boring. My mood was something like "ok, maybe I go to Nordkapp as a milestone someday, and dip my feet on Artic Ocean nearby".
Now you're showing fjords, montains, rapids, hikes, with stunning landscapes all around. The beauty is really on eyes of who apreciates it.
So nice to hear from you again. We love your comments. We have been blown away by the stunning scenery here and it just gets better and better. Watch out for our video on Nordkapp which will be in a few weeks time…amazing! Thank you for following our channel. Hope to hear from you next week when we spend time in Lulea, Sweden. Sarah
Nice adventures through the Arctic Conditions in Sweden, interesting river that’s so huge with all the freezing and flowing over next to it.
Best regards from Vesterålen Northern Norway 🇳🇴
Thanks Alex, we really appreciate you watching. Ben & Sarah.
@@diamondsontour Thanks for the nice Visit 🙏
A nice combination of shots and angles. The drone shots of the waterfalls (or rapids !) were especially good. The video gives a very good taste of the area.
Jerry
Thanks Jerry, that's very kind of you. Hopefully you'll enjoy our upcoming videos as we travel much further north over the coming weeks. Sarah & Ben.
