What an adventure so far. I'm sure those long dirt road sections would send most solo riders a little crazy 😂😂.

[@BavarianBloodhound1]

Yepp, I think so too. 😂

[@ketilfoss6867]

Did this part of TET in June and pitch my tent just at the crossroad at 3:45 in your film😊 Thank you so much for a nice video👍

[@BavarianBloodhound1]

That would have been a nice spot to camp. how did you go with mozzies that time of year? I had almost none which was nice. Thanks for watching mate👍

[@ketilfoss6867]

@@BavarianBloodhound1 There was some of them yes, but I live I live in Norway and am used to mosquitoes. You just have to accept that they are also part of nature, and then it is wise to use a good mosquito repellent😉

I think you mentioned in one of the previous videos about the issue of not having morning coffee, i think one way to solve that would be to buy some caffeine pills from the pharmacy or wherever those are sold.

[@BavarianBloodhound1]

Thats a good idea, I think I will have to have a look into it and on the days where I know I wont get a coffee I will just pop some pills instead. 😂 Cheers mate👍

That hill top looks very nice. Need to remember it, if I should get to Finland one day. Feels to me like a second guy would actually be nice to have on the TET in Finland. Mainly for entertainment 😛. Today first test with the seat position. Only commuting, so it isn´t saying too much. But it felt better. Maybe it is just the placebo effect and after an hour it looks different, but I am not sliding forward as much and can use the wider part of the seat more without it feeling awkward. On the weekend I will ride a couple hundred ks, that will show if it helped or not.

[@BavarianBloodhound1]

Would definitely be good to have a riding buddy in Finland. I only recently changed my seat as well so I’m still not sure if it has helped or just my ass is getting harder 😀

[@David.W99]

Making good progress on those trails. Bike going ok?

[@BavarianBloodhound1]

you can make a lot of kilometres when the road is not technically challenging. No issues with the bike so far. (knock on wood)😃

[@purgiaali]

Couple years back I spent 30 min on top of Niekka and 5 other solo riders visited the spot during that time.

[@BavarianBloodhound1]

Nice. It’s a very good spot but I wasn’t so lucky in meeting people. :(

[@IkeVMAX4]

I've been to Niekka many times with a snowmobile. I usually ride from our cabin, which is in Lokka.

[@BavarianBloodhound1]

Nice. That would be pretty fun on a snow mobile 👍

[@xZeiZeix]

Those red crosses are markers for snowmobile trail for winter time. About 1 meter snow, 1,5m max in winter

[@BavarianBloodhound1]

I did think that might be the case. That’s a heck of a lot of snow ❄️

[@markusr353]

We have adders 🐍

[@BavarianBloodhound1]

Ok so maybe it was indeed a snake. 🐍

[@Gibbetoo]

@@BavarianBloodhound1 yeah. not deadly, but hospital needed after bite. have been bitten twice.

[@BavarianBloodhound1]

You gotta stop picking them up then. 😂😂 That’s some bad luck tho, getting bit twice. 😬

[@butlersg1]

What navigation setup are you using??

[@BavarianBloodhound1]

Hey mate, I’ve just got my phone using the app (pocket earth) on the standard bmw preparation for navigation. There’s a link to the phone cradle in the video description as well if you’re interested. Cheers for watching 👍
