Follow our adventure as we navigate winding roads, showcasing the mesmerizing scenery that makes this region a must-visit destination for bikers and travel enthusiasts.
As we continue our motorcycle journey to the Nordkapp of Norway we leave the Wooden cabin in Grong and pack up our BMW R1250 GS Adventure for another day of motorbike riding.

Wow……that drive was just stunning. The scenery just keeps getting better. So glad we found your channel. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.
Hi Irvine & Karen, Yeah it really was!! Mind blown by Norway -such a beautiful country! We are glad you found it too 😉, not sure if YT is suggesting these in the right order but just in case here is the playlist:
ruclips.net/p/PLl_mRzVHVQ0wBDli8y7IjlY2Q4MBPnA0u&si=4mzWk9sClGbFFD2M
Beautiful & sunshine!!!
Finally 😃, everything looks different in the sun. Was nice to have some dry lines too.
Thanks
Sean and Emily
What an amazing episode!! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Hi Nelio, thanks for your comment and we glad you are enjoying this playlist. In tonight's episode ride to the Artic circle.
Hope to hear form you again soon.
Cheers
Sean and Emily
very nicely presented footage..... gonna return to Norrland next season..... hopefully
Hi, thanks very much for your comment! That's certainly something to look forwards to! -I think we will be returning to Norway some time in the future too as we enjoyed it so much.
Thanks for watching
Sean and Emily
Yeeeees the weather cleared up. That's the Norway dream, honestly. Looks soooo good!
We cant tell you how happy we were to see the sun come back out! 🙂 I think it came out a the right time so we could see the green lakes and fjords in all their glory.
Thanks for your comment and for watching.
Sean and Emily
You did get a very good glimpse of the route 17 and it only gets better further north. When the weather is good it is ubelievably beautiful. Many places along the highway 17 the scenery is on par with Lofoten. Sure there are 6 ferries, but it is worth it and I think the longest one now is free.
Hi Hallvard, Yeah the plan was to stick with the 17 all the way up however we had to wait a while for the first ferry and then when we checked we realized on Sundays the ferry's don't run so often so we decided to head inland instead, we also want to visit the Artic circle center =)
But for sure this is a road we would like to come back and ride all the way so thanks for your recommendation.
Thanks for watching and we hope you are enjoying the heading North Playlist.

Nice video.Greetings from Slovenia
Thanks for your Comment! Cool that you are watching from Slovenia- Slovenia is one of our favourite countries to visit! We were there again this year.

Simply stunning scenery and weather you both are taking us on.
Thanks Darren! Every turn has been spectacular and even more so now the sun has come out =)
Sean and Emily
Another excellent video and SO glad the sun finally showed up! See you both in the next one!
Thanks Matt! Yeah we were super happy to finally get some good weather! 😎
Thanks for your comment and catch you in the next one 👍🏻
Sean and Emily
That was incredibly reasonably priced accommodation for Norway, it looks perfect. 👍
Yeah the Huts are really well priced! Especially the further North you go. They have cooking facilities a sofa bed and shared bathrooms and usually the location is great too - for that price it's not worth getting the tent out. I'm not sure if they are fully booked out in the peak season though, at the start of the trip we did struggle to find availability (but that was in the south).
Thanks for following our journey!
Sean and Emily
Beautifully! It's great to reminisce about the trip we took almost two months ago. It's great to listen to you and even better to watch! Best regards from Stockholm.
Thanks! Yeah these trips seem to be over before you know it and it's great to be able to re-live the rides over again -especially in the winter 😊.
Kind regards
Sean and Emily
Another awesome video beautiful country following another u tuber called off she goes who travels there also incredible views enjoy
Thanks Jeff, it's a magnificent country to tour -we can see why it's so popular.
Sean and Emily
You really were lucky with the weather. It’s nice to follow your adventure in Norway and you are always welcome back to Sweden. Cheers!
Yeah the weather turned really good -so thankful! Was nice to see the lakes and fjords looking green instead of grey 😃.
We really enjoyed our brief time in Sweden and hope to make it back again!
Thanks for your comment.
Sean and Emily
What a wonderful experience you must have had, it's brilliant from this end, so real life must have been spectacular, as always your filming and editing integration is first-class 😊
Hi David, thanks so much for saying so -sometimes the editing takes longer than the riding lol. It's been amazing it really has! It's also great to be able to re-live the rides and get a chance to see everything whilst not having to pay attention to the road.
Thanks again for your encouraging words!
Sean and Emily
Brilliant episode guys, the scenery is stunning, pardon me for asking but what time of year did you go and were you plagued with mosquitos in Sweden?
Hi Craig, thanks for your comment it's appreciated!
No problem, we went late in season so this trip was Mid September. We were expecting Mosquitos however they weren't a problem. When we started setting the tent up by the lake they started to get get us but the spray seemed to work and then as soon as Emily made the fire (which was Smokey as times as it was damp) they all seemed to disappear. Perhaps earlier on in the season it would have been a problem but it wasn't exactly hot in September.
Thanks for watching i we hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Sean and Emily
We have a Nordland in WA State. It's on Marrowstone Island. In fact I rode through it on my bike twice today. Many Norwegians have settled in this area long ago. Happy travels to you!
Hi David, that's interesting! I had a quick look on google -it does actually bear a lot of similarities to Norway they must have felt right at home when they arrived =).
Thanks for your comment and have a great ride yourself.
Sean and Emily
@@SeanandEmily I want to tour Vancouver island in Spring. That's in Canada. Close by me. I'm 75. Been off of bikes for 40 years. Still lots of fun.
Hi David, that sounds great! I never made it to Vancouver island (although i liked Vancouver city) but it looks great so that should be a really good road trip!
I think it's seven ferries or something, we got a little tired of all ferries to take in consideration and adapt to, and I wasn't really that facinated by that coastal road but that's just me 😊 I go to Norway for the valleys, mountain passes, fjords, rivers and so on which actually made me appreciate the way south on the E6 much more, for example the road along the Svartisen/ Saltfjellet national park 👌👍🙂
Yeah there's a lot of ferries for sure, as it was Sunday we had to change our route a little bit as one of the ferries didn't run very often -but the inland route was awesome too. We live in Switzerland and the coastal roads is the one thing we don't have so wanted to make the most of it 🙂.
Thanks for watching!
Sean and Emily
Next time wifey and i drive up north it might be time to take the road 17. Ive always been going on E6 up there but its kind of boring so next summer its going to happen. 😊 And if you didnt know the polar circle moves 15 meters more north for every year so for example where they built the Arctic circle center at the E6 the actual spot is around 450m more to the north now from where they built that place. 😜 Im not sure what year it will turn south again but its going to turn sometime in the future.
Yeah when we go back i think we will try and ride all of the 17 (due to the ferry timetable on Sundays we had to head back inland as some of them only ran twice a day)
Yeah we heard about the polar circle moving -very interesting, still the Arctic circle center marks the occasion well 😊 Perhaps they should place a monument on little rail tracks 😜.
Thanks for your comment

Another great video...thanks for sharing...what riding suits are using? Are these new Touratech suits? I have looked for them online and can't find anything like them...are you testing a new suit for them? Looks very nice.
Thanks! 😎🙌🏻
These are the Touratech Companero world traveller suits.
Might be hard to find as we are mostly wearing the vented underlayer. -in the rain we have both layers on. Here’s the Link :
www.touratech.com/compa-ero-world-traveller-jacket-men.html
We also wrote a short review on them 👍🏻
seanandemilytravels.com/motorcycles/ride-in-style-and-comfort-compaero-world-traveller-review-of-the-best-motorcycle-gear-for-touring
Thank you...our Touratech store here in the USA doesn't appear to carry them...I'll contact Germany direct and see if its something I can get over here. Thank you...again...if you all ever come to the USA you'll have to let me know...we'd love to host you anytime. @@SeanandEmily
@@SeanandEmily just learned today that Totec will not ship the world traveler suit to the United States. Guess I’ll have to come to Europe to get one.
That's a shame! but a nice souvenir to take home 😎. If you are in Germany you can visit the HQ!

I see you have bought water, you never have to buy still water in Norway and Sweden since we have excellent tap water. No one buys water unless we want "bubbles" and/or some flavor - just a convenient tip 😊
Yeah the water from the taps has been great! -in fact possible the best water ever!! That bottle we bought was so we have water whilst on the road for cooking etc -it's been refilled a few times 😊
Hi Guys lov’n this series (I’ll check out the others later)
Quick question do the campsites except debit/credit cards or do they prefer cash payment ?
Hi, thanks very much we are really glad you are enjoying them 😊. All episodes can be found in the ‘Heading North’ playlist in the right order 👍🏻.
We actually never paid for anything with cash the whole time we were in Norway and Sweden, credit cards are accepted everywhere and even preferred.
Thanks for your comment and welcome to our channel.
Sean and Emily
Another great episode, it’s a very relaxing watch as always so very enjoyable! I wonder if you’ve kept a record of the amount of fuel used which would give an indication of the fuel economy of the mighty GS, in the past I’ve managed between 50-60mpg without trying too hard! Perhaps at the end of the trip you may have some figures for us, total distance travelled etc! See you on the next one! 👏😀👍🦦🏍
@@norriemasson4080 An important thing to know about at least Sweden where I live, is that it's the opposite - many places don't except cash, just card payment. I haven't had cash in my wallet for years 😋
If you change money and bring cash you might actually have difficulties getting use for them 😀
What is the armatress you have? It looks fab
It’s great!!! Rolls up so small and most importantly is really comfy and has a thermal filling so it’s warm too. Almost forgot it’s from Exped.
Here’s a list of our equipment in case you’re interested.

Hi Sean and Emily! Really enjoying your Nordic journey. My wife and I travelled as far as Alesund during July this year. (A few Q’s regarding your bag Emily - have noted that you wear a ‘bum bag’ - do you find this comfortable, is it a waterproof canvas material and are you able to share the brand? Would like to hear your thoughts.)
Hi, thanks for your message and we are really glad you are enjoying the Heading North Tour! Also great you got to enjoy Norway this year too- it's such a great place.
Just trying to think about the bum bag ....i didn't take one on this trip but i did have the Pac Safe Small Hand bag for when we are off the bike (its got metal in the straps and a metal cage inside the bag so it's slash proof) -could this be what you are referring to? Otherwise it could be my 'phone on a rope'. I will try and find a link to the bag =) Can you remember which video i am wearing it in? =)

@@SeanandEmily Must have been the Pacsafe wallet! Will look into it. Thanks and have a day filled with adventure.
Can totally recommend it! it even clips to tables or chairs for that added layer of security when seated =)
@@SeanandEmily thanks for replying Emily. Will try to find the video…
Another visitor who can't spell Arctic....
Perhaps you would feel more at home on the Troll road 🤔.
