Exploring the Westfjords of Iceland on my Tenere 700 | Solo motorcycle camping trip [S4-E8]

- Опубликовано: 12 дек 2024
- September 6th, 2022: Another day waking up to sun and blue skies! I start my day in the northern parts of the Westfjords and spend most of my day riding along the coast, heading south. This day was filled with good views, mountain passes, a spectacular waterfall, and also bumping into a fellow Scandinavian adventure rider!
Route description:
I started my day at Tunguskogur Campground and took a detour riding the first part of Djúpvegur. I rode back and continued along Vestfjarðarvegur all the way to Thingeyri, where I crossed the mountain on the road Hrafnseyrarvegur. Coming down again, I made a stop at Dynjandi Waterfall before continuing along road 60 to Laugar campsite, where I spent the night.

Hrafnseyrarvegur, a difficult word to write, but super beautiful!!! thanks for sharing! ; )
That mountain pass is abandoned now and only used for fun since they made a tunnel through the mountain. So now locals can pass all year round instead of three or four months out of the year that pass was impassible because of snow and avalances.
Ooooohhhh Dynjandi Waterfall... Tous les poils de mon corps se sont hérissés quand j'ai vu les images.
Mille merci de nous faire découvrir tout ça.😍
Hi beautiful young lady thank you for another fabulous video the waterfall was fantastic keep the videos coming loving them .xxxx
That waterfall was absolutely stunning.
The waterfall was the only thing that i really liked about her tour of Iceland.
Feel free to not watch more of my videos if you don't really like them Steven 😊
Yes, one of the best I've ever seen, Roger!
@@OffSheGoesADV I like the way you do you videos, I just don't like Iceland. There's a couple hundred countries out there, you can find one better than boring Iceland. Try Ireland or France or PC Highway, CA. You can do better. Thanks, Steve
Ok 👌👍 super Runa
So 2 things we have in common "Itchy Boots" and Black Liquorice. And as usual a bit of off roading and gravel gives us your viewers an inclination as to what Iceland has to offer the travellers in us, plus fantastic drone footage. Cheers Runa.
Dynjandi waterfall make me remember my trip to Iceland and enjoy again. Thank you!! I think this waterfall is one on the most beautiful in Iceland 👏👏👏👏
I agree, it was mesmerizing!
To Runa thank you for showing us wonderful corners of our planet! Thanks, too, for your smile!🥰👍👍👍
Amazing Drone Footage Sister Runa and with that Music !!! was Great to Dive with imagination in those moutains. Thanks for this video 😍
Those waterfalls are just so beautiful, such wonderful big sky views. Good to see you handling the gravel roads well Runa. Straight onto viewing S4-E9 next for me. Wooo Hooo !🤩👍👍
Thanks for showing the amazing waterfall!

1.
Chocolate for breakfast?
Laughed so hard!
2.
Love black licorice?
The flavor of Anise is beyond yummy, it's otherworldly - something from a higher plane of existence.
3.
Homage to Noraly?
..so..frickin..cool.
Thanks for yet another beautiful video!
Another great episode. It looked like you really enjoyed your coffee. Alan.
I dont know about your Balls but i think you not have take the tunnel... Anyway nice video. fantastic waterfall. And ithink you handel the gravel-roads Good. Thanks for shering Runa.
I've always wanted to go to Iceland 🇮🇸 You have shown me how even more beautiful it is
Now that I have seen some of Iceland, I am glad than I never went, and never will.
I rather tour the West Coast. It is a dull looking country.
@@stevenrobert8567 that is quite an ignorant comment, especially if you have not seen the beautiful things Iceland has to offer. I've been to Iceland twice and going for the third time this year, it is so amazing. Sadly some of these videos, while cool, do not do Iceland justice.
@@IEGastaldo Okay, me bad. There's nothing like seeing a country in person. Not one shot from a motorcycle. Have fun.
Thanks for sharing, very beautiful pictures.
Luis 🇵🇹
Thank you always a pleasure 😚
Itchy Boots goes where no others fear to tread, she isn't really human🤣You need a CRF300 Rally, Runa😉 Your smile said it all about that amazing day, truly spectacular👌
Hahah yes she does! She is such a legend, and great inspiration for the rest of us 😊
Thank you, Runa! I really enjoyed your chatty and relaxed presentation! It's a pity that you have not posted anything from 2023 yet. I look forward to your next videos catching up to the present.. ... 😎
Hey there! Thank you, glad you like it 😄 Well, it is still winter here in Norway so motorcycle season has not started yet for most of us. And I need to finish my episodes from last year 😄 2023 season is right around the corner and I can't wait ti share it!
@@OffSheGoesADV I'm in South Africa where it's almost autumn.... Perhaps you'd like to imitate Itchy Boots and do Cape Town to Kalahari. It would shoot up your subscriptions!
Really calming. Great of you to share the experience.
Hello Rona..all your travels are beautiful and enjoyable..good luck
Thursday and another well made video from Runa Thanks 😊🫶
Fun and beautiful video❤
Excellent video..nice drone footage too!. This has been a great adventure! Cheers Steve
Another great video!
Another lovely video with beautiful drone footage. That waterfall was nice, as well. You’re really making me want to take a trip to Iceland. Thanks!
Watch out one day you will be as good as it comes .
Morning Off She Goes. Wow! Did I get lost in the great drone footage this morning! Memories of touring around Scotland and parts of Wales came to mind. Thank you so much for sharing this girl, wonderful stuff 👍😊. As always wishing you safe and happy riding on your Iceland adventure. And again thank you so much for sharing 👍😁.
Thanks for watching Les, glad you liked it! 😄
Beautiful. both rider and the scenery.
cool, calm and collected, as always. Backgroundmusic is exceptional ! Stay safe !
Great episode Runa. I’m not sure Noraly ( itchie boots) would have done that.
It’s your jerney and looks great.
I’ve enjoyed this one ( again)
👍🏼👌🏼🤩
Full approval on your breakfast choice Runa. Stay safe and thanks for sharing 👌
Thanks for all these videos.
I started following you a few months ago.
You definitely need to come back to Iceland and the Westfjords.
I have been looking forward to see you ride through my area for many weeks, but then you had problems with your Go Pro.
Next time you come to Iceland, you are invited to camp in Gufudalur. And I'll show you some of the hidden treasures we have here.
really really want to ride Iceland and wild camp there, reminds me a lot of the highlands in Scotland in some places, beautiful majestic scenery
Another brilliant vid with beautiful scenery and some entertaining and informative commentary - Drone use is superb - waterfall breathtaking - Cool shout out to Itchy Boots, Noraly seems to have become a role model for RTW adventure riders in so many ways.
Lots of stress put on your sidestand when you use it to pivot your (heavy) bike, best not to do that as something in the assembly will break just when you don't need it to .
Hey Runa, enjoy your time I'm watching your vidéos from Morocco have a good day 🌹
Thanks Runa. The timeless majesty of the mountains is so mesmerising and the drone footage captures it so well. For the most part it seems you have have the whole country to yourself 😄 Cheers
Well done smiler! Another interesting episode.
Really enjoying your adventure in Iceland, especially your drone flying skills and videos. Never realised how nice the scenery is there.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Iceland is a fantastic place indeed 😊
hi Runa. Another great video from you. Nice drone footage, calming music and your amazing smile. What can we ask for more, smile. Looking forward to the next one. Ride safe and free.
Another episode from another a beutiful part of Iceland. The way you put this together makes it feel like one big pice of art.
Next time you come to Iceland you have to come to the south part of the Westfjords. I recomend Rauðisandur, Látrabjarg, Reykjafjörður and the best places to stay are in Breiðavík and Flókalundur. But if you come again then ofcourse you have to ride the road you talked about on the map, the "dangerous" one. It loops around the prettyest mountains in the west. It is a crazy road but worth it.
Thanks for letting us enjoy your trip with you.
It looks beautiful but I have never been there. I have been to Norway and you gotta admit it's pretty friggin awesome as well! Thanks for sharing.
Yesss, I love my country too and I can't wait to show you guys more of it 😄
nice camera work , I wouldn't want to be looking for a camping spot on that dead end in the dark . yikes ! . cold here wind from the north so it's cold . I enjoy your calm voice . thank you .
Another great video. Thanks very much.
what a life :)
Hi! I've been watching your episodes for a while. Exactly when you left on the ferry to Iceland. Thank you for the shared journey and beautiful scenery.A beautiful and charming woman like you, loves riding a motorcycle.A beautiful and charming woman like you, loves riding a motorcycle.In this episode you show that you plug power into your clothes. Probably something like heating?Thank you if you share your experience! Be happy and continue to delight us viewers with new episodes. Take care and be healthy!Greetings from Bulgaria! Come during the months of May-September. The month of May is generally rainy, but then nature wakes up and everything is so green and fragrant in spring.
Hey there! Thank you for following along on my adventure 😄 I left for Iceland on August 27th and was back home again september 17th.
And yes I used heated gear from @ventureheat on this trip; you can find a link on my website www.offshegoes.net if you'd like to see more details 😊
Have a great week!
@@OffSheGoesADV Takk! Vær glad!
I have watched all Your videos - thanks for making them - really cool channel.
thank you for all the videos, it's a great trip, enjoy.
Beautiful scenery! Love your videos and honest commentary about how it really is with the ups and downs, good times and tough times
I don't usually comment on the RUclips videos that I watch but this particuar one has provoked a couple of thoughts I feel are worth sharing.
I was in Iceland from 17 August until 7 September 2022, a slightly overlapping period, and was also surprised at how few other bikers I saw whilst there given that there were probably 20-30 on the same ferry. But then it is a huge place with lots of amazing isolated roads to choose from!
I would also totally agree about the comments on that section of roadworks. I rode that section on 27 August and the freshly laid loose gravel was one of the worst surfaces that had to ride on during the whole trip - there was another similar section of roadworks the next week on Route 1 along the south coast. However, the worst experiences were a few days of very high winds that I experienced in parts of the south and some of the thick fog on the north coast were a bit stressful too!
Generally though, the riding conditions were fine and nothing that should put off anyone and all part of the experience of visiting Iceland.
I only returned to biking in 2021 after a gap of nearly 40 years - I celebrated my 69th birthday in Reykjavik - and if I could do it anyone should be able to!!
You also don't need to have a big expensive Adventure bike - I was on a 411cc Royal Enfield Himalayan, which although designed for rough roads only has about 24bhp and was heavily laden.
My trip was meant to be "once in a lifetime" but I'm already looking at when I can go back again!
You are very inspiring! Hope to visit Iceland someday!
I really enjoy each of your vids, keep up the great work 😊👍🙏
You are awesome . Greetings from India🙏🙏🙏🙏
More incredible scenery. Thank you Runa!
Hi Runa! You are so great 💐🙏
Beautiful place akka 😍
Hi Runa, its getting better all the time, and I think Noraly would have carried on, but it's better to be safe than sorry 🙂 I grew up with black liquorice in mij late Dad's shop in Holland and find it difficult to buy here in the UK 😞 Awesome ride again and thanks for taking me on your journey, be safe 😊
Thank you Christian, glad you liked it! 😊 And yes, better be a bit careful until I gain more experience, I'll get more confidence bit by bit 😊 Sorry you can't seem to find any decent licorice in UK, they are missing out!
ahhh ! i see trees ! 😍
Locuri frumoase 👍👍👍
Great video Runa 👏 You've got me thinking about getting back on a bike after a loooong brake :) Thanks for sharing this on RUclips.
That is great Tomasz, I am sure you will not regret it if you decide to get back at it 😄
Hello 👋 runa again I have to tell you very beautiful episode ❤️

Bom dia Runa!!! Aqui vi seu vídeo no início da manhã bem cedo. E muito lindo as visões que seu vídeo mostra. Lindo demais! Mas ainda o mais lindo e ver sua alegria, sorriso, jeitinho de falar e como leva a vida de uma forma linda. Sempre estarei aqui! Boa viagem e muitas alegrias e felicidades na sua caminhada!!! Bjs ❤
Thank you for watching Magno; glad you like it! Have a great day 😊
nice water fall
Nice nod to Itchy Boots 😀
Vlog feel more stunning when Rider in pleasant mood ☺️👍
Love this channel great video 👍
Hi good traveling and have safe Journey
Loving this series! ❤📷🏍💕
Again you overdone yourself with this episode. We watch Itchy boots aswolken and I love licorice, but never have had it in combination with chocolate. Next thing to try 😂
Very excited for your next episode. By and take care 🙋♀️🙋♂️🏍️🏍️
You're too kind! Thank you guys 😄 You HAVE to try black licorice with chocolate it is a game changer! Have a great week! 😊
Sorry you didn´t go all the deserted road of Óshlíð. There was no need for turning there because the road was well rideable. I was in Bolungarvík a little earlier in ´22 and rode it much rather than the tunnel on my XTR660. You turned at one of two places similar, there is another a little outer which is ( or was) also easily rideable. The rest was fine. You would have got stunning photos of this old road and a spectacular view over to the coast on the other side. Better luck next time!
Off she Goes👍🏼
Sådär, då har jag kollat ikapp Runa! 😂🙌Härlig resa och dokumentation.Gott att återuppleva nu kan jag tro innan säsongen startar. Hoppas jag får uppleva Island med MC en dag. Ha det gott! /Mattias
You should look at a JetBoil with the coffee press :-) loving your Iceland content, riding there from the UK in June 2024.
New subscriber from the Philippines...
I can't believe at the dead end you said Itchy boots and that was going through my mind at exactly the same time. Self deprecating from time to time is a good thing. I've been that way my entire life to make fun of myself. 😂 Oh, I'm glad you showed the washout with the drone. I was hoping you would. Even you could have rode around that easily. 😁 Everyone is having different problems with Gopro. They are junk anymore. They don't care. One thing is for certain... you camp out much more than Noraly ever did. She does not rough it like you do. Which is strange, because not much stops her from going any place. Her brain is a GPS. Thanks Runa. I had to use "CC" this time. I must take a class in Norwenglish. Different from Dutch english. 😁
I saw a documentary on Lofoten islands its mesmerizing I would like to see more of that place if you go for a ride there
It is a fantastic place, I would love to show it from a bikers perspective 😊
To turn the bike around in a tight spot, especially on asphalt or concrete, put the bike on the side stand, and pull the bike against the side stand and pick up the rear wheel. Pull both wheels off the ground and feel the balance point. Then, simply pull the rear of the bike and pivot on the side stand.
Welcome
Off she goes😎
i would love to fish there. but you have a good trip
love you, mam. If you have time then you have to visit Nepal too. Its awesome country
Helt fantastiskt som alltid Runa. Nu har jag köpt ny sovpose som jag lurade på efter förra videon. Egentligen sedan i somras. Det blev en -10 pose för mig också 😊 En Marmot Helium, (Inte Mammut som din pose). Även den väger ca 1kg, Jag hoppas det blir lagom temperatur och inte för varmt. 🤔 Men det Är ju bättre att öppna posen om det blir varmt och ha den som quilt än att frysa när det blir kalla nätter. 😁
Takk Jonas! 😊 Så bra du har funnet deg en ny sovepose 😄 Helt enig i at det er bedre å kunne åpne posen og lufte litt, enn å ligge å hutre hele natten gjennom 🥶
❤❤❤
Hellow i watching to philipines ...keek safe and godbless baby
Now Noraly would have gone down that road, HA, right! Beautiful scenery! Is it always so cloudy?
stay safe
Very good beautiful
very nice i like....
❤ 🎉 wow nice!!!!
😍Love From Nepal😍
いつも素晴らしい映像ですね。
言葉は分からないけど、いつも見てますので、これからも素晴らしい映像をよろしくお願いいたします。
I will put Japanese subtitles in my upcoming videos! Thanks for watching 😊
Hey Runa. Great video and editing 👍 I would luv to hear ur thoughts on the Tenere. Thinking about putting it on the list for my next touring bike.
niceeee love from indonesia
