CB500X - Solo Norway trip Part 10 - Stavanger via stunning Langfossen

This is Part 10 of my trip continuing the journey today from Langfossen area to Stavanger on the west coast, on an absolutely fabulous route.
The whole journey took me through the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and into Norway right the way up to Nordkapp, the furthest point you can travel by motorcycle or car in mainland Europe and then back through Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Belgium and France over a 7 week period late May - mid July 2023
I am back in the UK now, but please do add your comments and I'll get back to you.

Many thanks for commenting Nick

[@garyrauter8240]

Just binge-watched the first 10 episodes of the Norway trip and loved every minute: informative, nicely edited and the scenery simply spectacular. Thank you for taking the time to put this all together. I'm now ready to watch the next 10 epidodes :-)

[@bikingtravels]

Many thanks Gary, hope you enjoy the next 10... and the 10 after that and... 😀 Nick

What a stunning place Norway is. You were blessed with glorious weather. It makes a massive difference on your first visit anywhere, bad weather and you’re in no hurry to go back.

[@bikingtravels]

Totally agree on all counts! Nick

[@neilurquhart8622]

Pleasant enough ride with lovely scenery……but too much excitement 😜

[@bikingtravels]

😁 Nick

[@adriansmith2853]

Beautiful scenery today and glorious weather. Your videos are a wonderful escape from the daily work grind.

[@bikingtravels]

Many thanks and I'm glad you enjoy them Nick

[@burcotwoody9657]

Great videos and somewhere that's on my list of places to go. That other biker on the ferry wasn't hanging about 😂

[@bikingtravels]

Many thanks, and no he wasn't! Nick

[@quentinjackson6015]

Landscapes largely unmolested by human activity are the most beautiful and can lift the soul! That waterfall looked spectacular and you were blessed with some great weather. Thanks for sharing.

[@bikingtravels]

Yep, agree totally, thanks for the comment Nick

[@JimCWoodard]

Some gorgeous scenery; I expect that it will get even better on the way north. The only I was in Stavanger was in March (a military visit), so the weather was nearly what you experienced. Looking forward to next week’s episode. Cheers, Jim

[@bikingtravels]

Many thanks Jim, I really enjoyed Stavanger Nick

[@antonoat]

Now that was what you call a waterfall !!! Stunning scenery everywhere it seems and the weather has been very kind too, what more could one ask for!

[@bikingtravels]

Absolutely and it really was perfect conditions. Thanks for the comment Nick

[@simonchilli2088]

Marvellous scenery. If there was a waterfall here in England like that most likely people would try and climb on it. Parking would be extortionate too🙂

[@bikingtravels]

Sad but true Nick

[@dalcassian9098]

This is the zenith of your trip, happy travels!

[@bikingtravels]

Many thanks for the comment and probably true to this point Nick

[@vancemarin8022]

The correct term for the smell is "Eau de farm " 🤣🤣

[@bikingtravels]

🤣🤣🤣

[@CeSeMoLa]

Amazing waterfall, so tiny in front of it.

[@bikingtravels]

I agree! Nick

[@phildivalerio]

Spectacular scenery ... and very close to home. Your route was excellent. You rode right past my house on the way in to Stavanger, and your campground is a regular walking spot. Sorry I missed your trip to my hometown. Looking forward to more videos to come.

[@bikingtravels]

Such a shame I missed you Phil. What a beautiful part of the world you live in, scenery and roads were amazing Nick

[@milesf7601]

Loving it Nick. Mostly better weather on this northern loop than your southern one? That waterfall is amazing!

[@bikingtravels]

Many thanks and yes I managed to shake off my "rain magnet" super power! Nick

[@blearyview2254]

Nice vid Nick. Norway is on the to do list. Was hoping to go next year but it looking like it will be 2025. How did you find the weather when you were there? I think you mentioned June and that would be my preferred month.

[@bikingtravels]

Many thanks. I prepared for the cold but I was lucky with the weather and it was actually very warm the whole trip. Good luck when you go Nick

[@eddale5557]

Usually it is best weather and scenary is in may-june in Norway the weather is usually pretty nice.

[@blearyview2254]

@@eddale5557 I am heading there in mid June, fingers crossed it stays nice, thanks for the info.

[@bigjoe4020]

Do all those ferries cost money or are they provided free from the Gov in Leu of bridges ?

[@bikingtravels]

Great question Joe. It was a mix, I tended to show my ferry pass, some resulted in a small charge others were free Nick

Schade kein Untertitel 😑

[@bikingtravels]

Tut mir leid, aber der Übersetzungsdienst funktioniert mit meiner Stimme nicht gut Sorry about that but the translation service does not work well with my voice Nick
