Hard to find a better place for a motorbike ride.😊

As I watch movies about Norway, because I am planning my trip, I see a lot of them. But this is one of the best!!!

Great movie of Norway trip.

[@thebearfacedbiker]

Thanks mate. Positive comments make all the editing time worthwhile!

[@MrTommyjohansen]

And the editing did the movie fantastic. I have traveled with my Harley on many of your places so it was nice to see. I do not film I do only take pictures.

After 4 trips from uk to Norway on 3 different R1200 boxers ( No GS version ) seeing many of your roads and tourist 'must see' I leave for home each time knowing I have again missed so much more that needs adding to a 'next visit list'. Laerdal tunnel and the top route overpass always needs another trip, the ferry to Lote, Fv698 to Solberg Panorama view route is worth the time from Forde and Stryn, thanks for posting and making trip 5 a possibility.

[@thebearfacedbiker]

Thank mate! 😀 Was only my second time and first time on a bike. Will definitely be back!

[@zwolfino99]

Hi, I was at the lakeside camp at the same time as you. It rained a little, but otherwise it was great there, I enjoyed it a lot. I just wanted to say hello.😊😊😊

[@thebearfacedbiker]

👍 Hello! What bike were you on?

I think you have the best recordings I have seen

[@simonfarrell5675]

I still find it baffling that the newcastle to Norway ferry was stopped as not being profitable

[@thebearfacedbiker]

Sad isn’t it. And all the ones to Germany! And the one we took from Germany went bust, so it’s back to having to ride all the way up through Denmark to get one to Kristiansand. So from hook of Holland, basically two days of flat riding to get there… still worth it mind! 😀

[@fliesonthevisor]

@@thebearfacedbiker Rumours of a Newcastle/Hull to Norway ferry starting in 2025 .... Here's hoping

[@thebearfacedbiker]

That would be amazing!

[@ewendavidson8787]

Excellent video, really enjoyed that, well done guys. Where did you get the ferry from in Germany to Norway?

[@thebearfacedbiker]

From Emden - but unfortunately Holland Norway lines have gone bust so it is no more. Only route now is from Hamburg or Hirtshals.

[@richardboer9155]

Its an great scenery! I am maybe also going next year. But i was asking myself in what time of the year did you go. Greetings from Holland!

[@thebearfacedbiker]

We went late June, no snow on the pass roads. I mean you have to be lucky with the weather at any time, but there weren’t any midges at that time at least.

[@beaverwilson290]

Great video we r heading from n.ireland 2 Norway next June just wondering did u download an app for the ferry crossings and the toll gravel Road as we intend 2 do some of the tet

[@thebearfacedbiker]

No just paid as we went. They’re not expensive and all take contactless payment so it was very easy. I thought it confusing trying to work out how to get an account before we went as they’re are a few operators. Maybe it’s a bit cheaper, but it really is easy just to pay as you go. The toll road had a clear sign we took a picture of and you just paid online within 24 hrs - easy and all in English. Have a great trip - it really is epic! 👍

[@fiveplates]

Can you upload the general itinerary and general cost of the trip please?

👍👏👏👏👏✌️🇪🇦

[@Toxicdemon2]

So there is a Ferry from Groningen to Kristiansand now ??? Next year I want to ride From Belgium to Norway ,and then touring through Western Norway, So it would be great having a Ferry in Groningen instead of having to ride all the way to Hirtshals (Denmark)

[@thebearfacedbiker]

There was… I think we caught the second year of it running, but it’s gone bust. So back to having to go up to Hirtshals 😩

[@Toxicdemon2]

@@thebearfacedbiker Too bad. Because that would have been about 800 km (490 miles ) closer and alot less exhausting You think the one from Emden (Germany) is stil active ?

[@thebearfacedbiker]

@Toxicdemon2 Indeed - same for us coming from UK. No, the Groningen one moved to Emden and was the same operator that then went bust 😢

[@Toxicdemon2]

@@thebearfacedbiker well damn... I guess I'll have to ride up to Hirtshals then. Because I am absolutley going next year.

[@thebearfacedbiker]

Totally worth it, you won’t regret it!

[@jamiecarter8459]

Wow! Wow! Wow! How the hell do you go about planning something like this

[@thebearfacedbiker]

It certainly is a lot of work! Ferry schedules from UK dictated how long the trip could be vs annual leave and we were lucky that they worked in a way that gave us enough days in Norway for a decent trip. Then I used guidebooks, Google maps/street view and a few online guides to mark highlights as waypoints then join them up. I initially figured on daily mileages how far we could get in the days we had, then planned routes from there. The you just have to be lucky with the weather and we were!! 😀

Cheers🍻 Middle two weeks of June. We were proper lucky with a heatwave!

Have you still got the gpx files for this trip ? If so I’ll love to have them from you if you don’t mind

[@jackylim3742]

hi may i know which ferry company u travel from eemshaven to kristiansand?we r coming on june 2024!need yr advice tqvm

[@thebearfacedbiker]

It was Holland-Norway Lines but I think they went out of business last year. Riding up through Denmark to Hirtshals may now be your only option…

[@jackylim3742]

mates tqvm for yr good infor tq@@thebearfacedbiker

[@mehmetsepici3982]

Hi, which month was this tour and how was the temperature at snowed areas?

[@thebearfacedbiker]

Hi, this was June and last year there was a heatwave - 30 degrees sometimes which is unusual. In the snow at higher ground it was still warm, 15-20 degrees. You just have to be lucky!

[@mehmetsepici3982]

Thanks a lot, we planned for this June almost same times keep fingers cross

What do you need to fly a drone in Norway?

[@thebearfacedbiker]

You need to register with their aviation authority which was easy enough online and gives an operator ID to put on the drone. I think you had to confirm that you have insurance too, then follow their flight restriction zones/maps which are all online. Search on KZbin - there’s a vid that goes through the Norwegian rules and where you can find the restriction maps and stuff. All pretty straightforward for drone under 250g

[@jeremyparker3100]

Thank you 🙏

[@leeellerker1855]

How much was that ferry crossing to Norway?

[@thebearfacedbiker]

650 Euros return. Obviously too cheap as they’ve gone bust 😢 You now have to ride to the top of Denmark or go across to Kiel to get an Oslo ferry. Either take a fair bit longer!

[@McBiker69]

Anyone counted how many times he said Nice? 😂

[@thebearfacedbiker]

Nice! 👌
