Hiking 60 Miles in the Mountains & Fjords of Norway

[@semapon7149]

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

[@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 🙏

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.

[@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

[@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!

[@welshmanwalking]

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

[@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.

[@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..👍

[@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

[@xAcuff]

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

[@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

[@ashleyfrancis2903]

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

[@susanlambert8164]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@thednadane]

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

[@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!

[@dombazbondaz1629]

Thanks

[@clairesaunders4942]

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

[@xavierblau9999]

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

[@sparrowheadswest]

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

[@garethmarks6016]

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

[@summittaedae2323]

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

[@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 👍

[@optimisticgal]

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

[@One_moor_for_luck]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@M.u.t.a.n.u.99]

I love hiking 🥰🥰next time I visit Norway, I'm gonna go for some hike with my partner 🥰

[@sarahk5724]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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. 👌

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

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..

[@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 👍👊😉

[@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.

[@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

[@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 💙

[@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.

[@christinmunick6901]

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

[@JasonSturgess]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@ramondicarrera2772]

Liam - by the way! This is fast becoming one of my favourite YT channels. Your enthusiasm for life highlight that the best things in life are free. Your story telling/narration are fantastic. Please don’t change the format. It’s original! Would love to see a trip to Asia, Morocco and what about the Grand Canyon? 👏👏👏👏

Well done Liam this one looked tough at times. But you did it with the help of coffee. Thanks for taking time and effort editing 👍👍👍

[@kateturnbull9085]

Norway looks amazing! Some of those river crossings 😮😮. I love your videos, your appreciation of the landscape is second to none

[@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.)

[@OldManRocketLeague]

You really need to start bringing back filming your evening meal again dude.

Norway wow😊 it’s a masterpiece thanks for this video 😊

[@williamchanning9055]

Brilliant, but no real surprise there 😊. One question Liam, do you leave a route plan with anyone, bearing in mind you are on these hikes alone, just wondering?

[@lolsaXx]

I'm sure he does. Only an idiot would walk up into the mountains alone without route knowledge and some sort of plan. Maps are very important and so is knowing how much food you need to carry.

[@GeorgeSalmonX]

Great video Liam - really good hike

[@MrAngelfaced]

Brilliant. Thank you Liam

[@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.

[@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!

[@ephrambrown9142]

Amazing. I could have watched 2 more hours. Thanks so much for sharing

[@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.

[@NotASheep100]

Fantastic....youve really grown ...and become a man of the wilderness...good for you.

[@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.
