    I suspect the "Unusual little tunnel" (13:28) is a Land Bridge, to enable animals to get from one side to the other without using the road surface. Probably on a migration route for Moose etc.? 'Looking forward to the following vids. well up to your usual standard ;-).

    The A82 always seamed to have to many caravans to really enjoy it. Plus I crashed my bike there about 40 years ago. I was having lots of fun until all of a sudden I wasn’t.

Your appeal, at least for me, is you are part travel writer, part adventurer, part gear head. And you are pleasant. Sadly, it’s an unusual combination from motorcycle you tubers. I enjoy your stuff and hope you enjoy producing it.

    16:23. I agree sometimes its great to ride on your own, set your own pace. It feels like your flying along between the trees or through a canyon beside the Lake. You are a lucky Chap!
    Did you see any WWI memorabilia in Norway from the German occupation? Maybe in the Fiords. Back in the 1970s I was stationed in Scotland for a few missions in the Cold War. Very gray and dreary looking place. Great Fish and Chips though.

    It is so interesting to se your film about your trip to Norway. This summer me and my wife went on a trip to Norway on our motorcycles.The first night we stayed in Lillehammer an then we took the same way between Lillehammer and Dokka as you did, In the opposite direction. After Dokka we visit Sognedal, jotunheimen national park, Lom, Geiranger, trollstigen, Kristiansund, Hitra, Trondheim and then back home to Sweden again.
    Some of the most beautiful/spectacular road in Norway you can find in the area around Sognefjorden
    Geirnager and Trollstigen. Those places are worth to visit if you get the opportunity.

    I recognize a lot of the ship. Did you hit the pub?
    You took a complete different road out of Oslo as I did; I did harbour, tunnel, countryside.
    The following road, I do remember. I fell in love with Norway; it's so beautiful.
    A lot of houses are for summer hollidays only, you'll see the in the rural places.
    Most mountains are grinded down by ages of glaciers.
