Hiking 60 Miles in the Mountains & Fjords of Norway

[@AndrewPaulK80]

Takes some serious nerve to cross that land on your own mate, foreign country, and some dodgy crossings. Full respect to you, living the dream 😊 more of scandinavia please Liam 🙏

He's ex service, so it's in his blood mate

Plus he’s from the north of UK. No wimps from there😅

Thanks, you are amazing. You inspired me to start hiking 🙏🏻

[@PaulWinters328]

Loved this video Liam! Question. Any chance you could do a video giving us a step by step guide on how you plan these hikes? I'd love to do something abroad but haven't got a clue how you would even plan it all.

[@user-sf8jj2ed9g]

Your storytelling in your videos is unparalleled. You capture the atmosphere perfectly. I love watching your videos before bed as they’re so chill and relaxing.

[@DukeoS]

I did alot of walking around Sweden this summer and it was fantastic, I may never have done some of the things I did without being inspired by your videos. Thanks for another great video!

[@GOBBYBOY333]

Fantastic video Liam and what a place. Your videos are so pure; no bells and whistles, they are a joy to watch. Just walk, pitch, eat, sleep etc and its obvious you are just living your perfect life, good on you mate. ATB Big Dave Scotland.

[@edwardbullock2]

Similarly, the most notable thing I remember about visiting Iceland was how fresh and clean the air was. It’s actually quite difficult to explain to someone who’s never experienced it.

[@susanalbone5101]

Beautiful stunning country. You never stopped smiling despite the terrain and the weather. Another cracking hike. Thank you. Take care, be safe. ❤ Dorset, UK

[@welshmanwalking]

Loved that, cheers Liam. I'm going to Norway next May, and literally cant wait

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Welcome to Norway Liam! I think August was the wetest its ever been in Norway since records began so you picked a good time to visit.

[@matrimhelmsgaard]

Im glad you finally got your feet over in these parts! Good too see you enjoy it, and i know you're hooked now so im looking forward to new adventures here in Norway!

[@mr-wx3lv]

Great video mate. Norway is amazing country. People are pretty friendly too. They seem to be at one with their surroundings..👍

[@clairesaunders4942]

We love you Liam, always comment on your videos and your endearing charm. Waving from Devon!!

[@ashleyfrancis2903]

Watched your channel for some time now Liam. You are living the dream my friend. Well done for creating it!

[@xAcuff]

Love the addition of the maps to show your progress. Great video and Norway is definitely top 5 on the bucket list

[@joanweightman2275]

How lovely! Such contrast between the crisp clean air n water; huge hard rock scariness with campanula, bilberry and heather daring to take on the challenge...and of course you braving it out in the cold and wet. Good stuff! Thank you

[@optimisticgal]

Look at that scenery. The grass sooooo green! (at the end of film)

[@thednadane]

Hiker and Film Maker, excellent as usual Liam. Really enjoyable watch, you really are living the best life!

[@Sleepfastsounds]

Wow mate that was beautiful,but looked extremely challenging,you've got some bottle doing that on your own mate, truly impressive,well done and you did it with a smile on your face the whole time, definitely watching that again, can't wait for what You've got planned next!! 🎉 I take my hat off to you

[@Truthbewithyou]

As a fellow solo hiker and wildcamper, I can totally imagine the humbling of those mountains and the noise of those rivers 🙏🏼 it takes a lot of guts to hike across such openness without any reception or people around. Full respect to you mate, awesome video and thanks for sharing 💙

[@mathiasnakken]

Im super happy to finally see you in Norway! I walked Hardangervidda two months ago and had the same weather as you did here. Hope you will come back some time to explore more of norway!

[@garethmarks6016]

Thats a challenging environment Liam. Pay back is the superb scenery. Great video again.

[@susanlambert8164]

You so enjoy you're trips Liam, Thanks for taking us along stunning.

[@Martycycleman]

Cheers Liam. Not been to Norway for over 50 years, just looks the same.😊

[@One_moor_for_luck]

Love to see how you push yourself Liam! That rocky stretchy looked tough. Well done!

[@sparrowheadswest]

Such a tranquil vlog to watch. You're extremely courageous to walk that terrain alone. Gorgeous scenery. Thank you for sharing. 😊🏔️🌲

[@charlesrobert9527]

That was a great video, so pleased for you that you got so much from it. A tough walk and so isolated, definitely worth taking care whenever necessary. It certainly was inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

[@andrewjohnston9115]

Liam, your determination to get output on YT is just awesome. I lived in Stavanger for 5 years and travelled all over Norway, its a fabulous country, but the weather can be tough. Have you tried waterproof socks? Great video.

[@pawchristensen109]

He should also get a waterproof tent.

[@skyrunneruk]

Fantastic Liam as always pal, keep the vids coming thoroughly enjoyed that epic scenery’s the views are amazing..I’m so jel - living the dream..

[@markjlewis]

Hi Liam, thanks for such another outstanding video. I have recommended your channel to quite a few of my friends and I know they also enjoying your content. Please keep putting new videos out as they are a must see for me as soon as I notice a notification. You were rather brave to do that trek in such an isolated place without some sort of GPS rescue device. You might have had one on you but it may be worth getting one as a slip on one of the boulders could have broken your ankle etc. It was so isolated there I'm guessing that you only encountered other people at mountain huts.

[@Yorky222]

I really appreciate the time you take with camera setups to give us a taste of what it is like to trek in wild places.

[@ShaeEstella]

Watched this video whilst on a boat out on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and although a world apart, I instantly wanted to see this part of the world! Great video!

[@trail-until-i-fail]

Your adventures are the only reason I come on to KZbin your videos relieve the stress of the day and inspires us to get out and test ourselves. 👌

[@nathaire]

Hello Liam, I really enjoyed following you on your adventure. It sparked so many memories for me. In 1979 when I was 30 years old I did the trek that you have just filmed. The river crossings were a bit sketchy then as well. As you say it's the most stunning place and to follow you has been such a nostalgia trip. Thank you.

[@JKSpoff]

Your videos are so inspiring and make me so relaxed, keep up the walks Liam 👍

[@evakjaernes7481]

Wow Liam! Thank you for bringing us up to Jotunheimen. Many years ago I did more or less the same tour , beautiful but I wouldn’t have done it alone. You are absolutely brave! Some other time try the mountain area of “Rondane” it’s also really fabulous.

[@summittaedae2323]

Love your van videos Liam. Your a well travelled lad. Happy hiking 🥾

[@yvindstokkland4970]

Fantastic! Would love to see an adventure in my home region of Lofoten and Senja in Northern Norway! Lots of fjords, mountains and rough weather

[@hannes121]

your videos are like therapy for my mind. so calming. your gratefulness for the little things makes me appreciate my warm home even more :)

[@christinmunick6901]

What a beautiful adventure! Thanks for taking us along :) Always so calming watching your videos.

You are one of my favourite KZbinrs... Great videos - my daughter just came back from jotunheimen a month ago and loved it. Keep up the great work. Two huge thumbs up mate.

Stunning beauty and wildlife! Much respect to you for taking on a very challenging terrain. Great adventure.

[@paulinepayne6731]

Hi Liam. It’s been a privilege to watch your latest video. Thank you for sharing. It takes real courage and effort to cross a terrain like this, particularly on your own. . Having watched your travels for a long time now, it’s so obvious how much you’ve grown. Your joy in the landscapes and appreciation of nature always delights me. Love your videos.

[@xavierblau9999]

Just great videos Liam - a real inspiration to get out in the wilderness wherever you are!

[@UKJordz]

Mate, you're living THE life! Always look forward to a new video and they never disappoint.

[@mozartboll]

Hi Liam! I've been watching your videos for awhile, they're so relaxing. Love your positive, humble attitude. I live in the fjords, beautiful nature, though I haven't been to Besseggen. Must go someday. You have to hike Lofoten at summer solstice! It will blow your mind. Looking forward to more videos.

[@dannywade9138]

Thank you Liam for all your hard work, the video is awesome. Great job!

[@dalriadaskillen]

Parts of that trek looked like a lunar landscape. Another great one, Liam.

[@MrPaddynufc]

Amazing video. Thanks so much for making it. I'd love to visit Norway but I can't a-fjord it.

[@okklidokkli]

Norwegian here. You’re clothes and shoes got me worried from the first second. Even though it was summer, you can get below freezing temperature and snow, storms and heavy rain. When hiking in the norwegian mountains for days, you need solid mountain shoes with support and water resistance, and layers of clothing with water proof jacket. When hiking alone you should have a GPS connection. If you break you’re leg or get ill in some way, there is noone there to help you. Just some crusial tips. Other than that enjoy the norwegian wilderness and mountains. Welcome back.

[@layerupNL]

Which shoes do you recommend ?

[@okklidokkli]

@@layerupNL If you are looking for shoes for the Norwegian mountains I would suggest hiking boots from brands like Scarpa, La Sportiva, Alfa, Crispi, Mammut and similar. Expect to pay between 250-500 Euros for a good pair of shoes. Remember good socks and blister protection. Good gear is not only life saving, but also the difference between a fantastic and a miserable experience.

[@IndigoBikeTouring]

Good video mate, defiantly similar to the highlands. Back in the day its supposed to have been part of the same mountain range. and a tip for your water filer bag if you blow into it first its a lot easier to fill up.

[@bjornlilja2692]

I've always enjoyed your videos! I like your relaxed style and approach to both life and hiking. This time I had a bit of a friendly laugh when you att 2:57 say "cant go wrong, can you" and eat what you think is a blueberry :D The lighter ones of the two are in fact blueberries, but the darker ones you picked are called crowberries. They are fortunately perfectly fine to eat and taste a lot like blueberries. There are a number of eatable berries that are very similar to blueberries and also usually grow at the same place. Another quick unimportant fact: The reindeer in Sweden/Norway/Finland are actually never completely wild (since about 150 years), they are held by the indigenous Sami people. They roam freely but are are regularly collected by their owners and used for the meet, skin etc. No need to filter running water in the nordic high mountains, but it never hurts of course. Cheers from Sweden and keep up the good work!

[@runear1]

The reindeer population in western part of Jotunheimen is not domesticated, they are wild.

[@bjornlilja2692]

Thanks for letting me know, you are indeed right! 🙏 I was not aware that Norway had several wild reindeer areas.

[@olifoster_au]

Your videos keep getting better! Love the drone shots! Always a relaxing watch :)

[@michaeljames8534]

Fabulous new vid Liam, it’s always great to see where your exploring next. I would love to hear how you go about deciding and planning such a trip, but it wouldn’t surprise me if you said that you just stuck a pin in a map and went with it. Thank you for taking us all along 👍👊😉

[@breathplay112]

Fantastic ❤ hiking poles are almost a must in such conditions. A warm hat/ a sunhat and sunglasses and gloves

[@Chreeeys]

Ahhh what a journey! Great work Liam.

[@mikechadwick8163]

Thanks Liam, another great trek through spectacular scenery. I'm really enjoying that you talk to us, not at us, and including some place names and the fun facts at the end. Looking forward to the next adventure, mate. Cheers.

[@janetmark411]

'Oh man, I'm happy ', your enthusiasm and love for the outdoors and the amazing scenery Mother Nature has provided are both palpable and infectious. Brilliant video and as always looking forward to the next. Safe travels Liam 🙂🙂

[@outdoorsman1140]

Reindeer eat mosses, herbs, ferns, grasses, and the shoots and leaves of shrubs and trees, especially willow and birch. In winter, they make do with lichen (also called reindeer moss) and fungi, scraping the snow away with their hooves to get it.

[@JasonSturgess]

Fantastic Trip Liam loved it and I;m so glad you added maps so we can see the route you have taken !

[@jimscarlet]

Stunning scenery, absolutely breathtaking at times, but bloody hell, that looked like hard graft. Total respect for everything you're doing Liam, your videos are things of beauty.

What can I say, apart from thank you for sharing your experience of Norway. Some wonderful scenery. Thanks once again. Take care.x

[@bkpktrekker4086]

Great video Liam. Have you considered walking the Nordkalottleden trail. A good stretch would be from Kilpisjarvi Finland to Abisko Sweden, 190km. There are non serviced wonderful Norwegian huts every night, 30 euros for a bed or 3 euros for day use if a member. Great wild scenery, few walker's, relatively easy walking. From Abisko where theres a supermarket and large Swedish tourist station you could continue to Kvikkjok on the Kungsleden, gorgeous scenery, huts every night if you wanted, some selling food supplies. You could also continue on another 300 km till the end of the Kungsleden or from Abisko continue on the Nordkalottleden which gets wilder, has some formidable river crossings, huts every night, following Swedish Norwegian border. I hiked it from August 24 till September 16, gorgeous fall colors, tree's, tundra, canyons. You'd like it. There's so many options including into wild Sarek National Park, the best scenery up north but no huts, few bridges, no marked trails.

[@outdoorsman1140]

Beautiful scenery. It’s quite possible that the reindeer are farmed like the sheep. You can buy reindeer meat in Scandinavia. Although nervous of getting too close, unless they were regularly taken to a children’s petting centre where they are regularly touched (like some in the Cairngorms in the UK). It is quite possible that the farmer periodically puts supplementary food out for them, eg. mineral blocks, and might periodically round them up for health checks, so at least if not tame, used to having people near them, hence walking away rather than running away. I’ve had Cairngorms ones sat on the path as I walk by, as they are tame due to being rounded up and taken to the Reindeer Centre, petted by children and take their turn at being Rudolf and pulling the Santa’s sleigh at Christmas at events.

[@classic-shirt-obsession9843]

Unbelievable content mate. I’ve visited Norway twice, once in the north (Tromso) and once to Oslo - fabulous country. Random but have you ever thought of going to the Faroe Islands? Not far from Scotland and there are some unreal hikes there, James Bond was filmed there - it’s like nowhere else 👍🏻 🇫🇴

[@lewis_kelly]

Living the dream Liam. Get nervous going on a hike on my own in Cheshire so fair play my mate that you're there on your own. Love the recent videos

[@miiortbiiort4610]

Cool to see you go to Norway! I lived in norway until last July and your videos were a major inspiration to go backpacking the two last summers. I'd recommend also going to the high north. There's tons of cool places surrounding the Lofoten area and great trails! (Although Lofoten itself is quite busy.)

[@ethicalbunny]

I loved the narration in this ! Very descriptive - brilliant as always 😊

[@Donneczka1]

Liam, have you been doing any study of all the plants and wildlife and geology of the areas you are hiking through? I picked up a certain amount of info through an adulthood with lots of outdoor adventures. But now in retirement I am studying what I am seeing on my walks in much more depth- trees, flowering plans, woody plants, birds, insects, amphibians, reptiles, etc and it is giving even more enjoyment on my walks to know much more of what I am seeing. I am even taking a naturalist class and will probably take more classes in the future! There are apps now that can tell you the names of flowers, trees, etc. In the US we have one called “Seek.” Don’t know what you might have in the UK/Europe. I am sure there must be something!

[@keppela1]

Thank you so much for your videos. They're like balm for my agitated soul.

[@powexor]

Liam, the black berries you picked first right @2:45 are black crowberries and the ones with leaves are bilberries. Crowberries are edible, but usually used in liquors or jam. Not the best taste raw. Also the video was great. Went by too fast, haha!
