    tshansen present to you what ADV'ing and touring Norway is about late summer and early fall. Some tarmac, some fast gravel. Picturesque fjords, mountain passes - what's not to love? This is central/western Norway at it's best. Done by one man (@tshansen), from raw footage to final edit. Enjoy!

    I really enjoy his videos. Good riding, excellent camera work, informative, very relaxed chilled out presenting style, and the stunning scenery helps.

    I also like Nomad Sweden's videos, they've done some good long trips to eastern Europe and Turkey.

    Wow!  What an absolutely beautiful country.  I watched the first 20 mins and had to tend to some family stuff, but will finish this.  I would love to visit Norway and the rest of Scandinavia at some point. I've been to Helsinki for an overnight stay while traveling and loved the little bit of the city I got to see.  That whole region is definitely on my list to visit. 

    Thanks for sharing, Bjorn!  Stunning!

    Scandinavia is a great place to visit and I'm off there again in July.
    Norway is very scenic with quiet roads and well policed speed limits. It is also expensive, but worth a trip

    ...it seems as you guys get tremendous exchange rates for GB£ to NOK these days. Who knows what the exchange rate will be in July, but you might be rewarded for your Scandinavia plan this summer if Norway is included.  :002:

    I seem to recall it was around 10Kr to one pound sterling when I was last there in 2014.

    I'm also hoping to head back to Norway in July. It'll only be a couple of weeks so I'm thinking of camping to keep the cost down.
    I'd love to try some of the TET as well. I've never done proper "off-road", but they seem more like well maintained gravel roads so should be doable.
