A Road trip in Norway with a Volkswagen T3 Camper Van - Part 1

Come with me on a road trip in Norway. In this first part I follow the E6 highway north along lake Mjøsa. I stock up on important articles such as diesel, wine, oats and snacks, and make a first stop by Vikingskipet (the viking ship) arena in Hamar and at the tower of Mjøsa in Brumunddal. From there I go to Lillehammer, the Hunderfossen hydro plant, and find a place for the night up at Venabygdsfjellet (Venabygd mountain pass). I end with a hike up to the top of Mount Muen.
I hope you'll enjoy the ride! Please leave a comment and hit the like button.
Thanks for watching! Tusen takk!
Pål
Thanks to Petter Faye Wevle for lending me the van!

Hi, its so beautiful. Thank you Paul

[@norwaywithpal]

You welcome bubuxor54, thanks for watching!!

[@alrush1234]

Very interesting road trip. I particularly appreciated the comment of the road trip you had done with your dad and brother in your youth and the picture as a souvenir of magical time with family. Very sweet.

[@norwaywithpal]

A most treasured memory :) thanks for watching!

[@abdulazizsaleh8650]

Absolutely Stunning... It's a Peaceful place 🧡🙂 Thank you Pal

[@norwaywithpal]

You welcome :D

[@awake144k]

Pål, this is the eighth video of yours I've watched today and I'm loving your channel! You're making me want to pack up and move to Norway! Got to tear myself away for now to get some errands done but hope to continue my Pål in Norway marathon when I get back. Loved this video especially because I used to have a VW camping van about 30 years ago and have lately wished I still had it. Great job on the videos! Informative, highly interesting and fun!

[@norwaywithpal]

haha, thanks so much for checking out my videos! Really nice to hear :) I've been a bit quiet on the videomaking the last month, but aiming for a strong comeback in 2022 :D All the best to you

[@danar7807]

Thanks for the great trip and great photos. I enjoying watching your video.

[@norwaywithpal]

Tusen takk Dana :D

[@michaelheitz5237]

Your video captures the poignancy of the time when you hiked to the top with your brother and father. Your musical scoring also is great accompaniment. Keep the videos coming!

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks a lot Mike for the good feedback! I knew we had done a hike in that area years ago, but I was not sure which mountain.. So it was such a nice coincidence that I hiked up to that very same mountain top.

[@shariwilliams2705]

Thank you so much for taking us along on your trip. So much of Norway I did not get to see on my 2 trips there. Even though my Paternal Grandfather was from Oslo, I have only visited my family from the South in Kristiansand and the West in Bergen. I enjoy your videos very much.

[@norwaywithpal]

Hei Shari, I am glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Even as a native there are many places in Norway I have not seen yet. It's such a long and diverse country, but what better time to explore than now during the Covid-crisis. Hope to see you over here some day :)

[@shariwilliams2705]

@@norwaywithpal I can only hope to get back one day.

Pal! Beautiful. The drone footage at the end is really fantastic. The yellow VW van is too cool!

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks a lot Barry :D

[@robertadair6612]

Its wonderful to catch up from the beginning! :)

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks :) I have about 2-3 episodes more coming before I arrive back home again

[@terrycox1272]

Great video of a great trip, Pål. Makes me nostalgic for my 1984 VW camper that I used to tour Europe (in 1984!). And, yes, those great buns in Espa - you led our RS tour there in 2018 - thanks, and keep these great videos coming!

[@norwaywithpal]

Hi Terry, glad you liked the video. Sounds like you had quite an adventure back in 1984! Do you happen to have a photo from it? Would be fun to see. And I always stop at Espa when I go up north, but this time it was with all my Rick Steves tour members in mind :)

[@janetkerby4350]

Thank you for yet another great trip with you, Pal. This one brought back some good memories. I believe we stopped at Espa for the buns, Lillehammer where we zip-lined the big ski jump, and then crossing the beautiful, stark mountains while listening to a perfect musical accompaniment you had selected. Many thanks for sharing your beautiful country with us.

[@norwaywithpal]

That's right Janet, we did stop at Espa, but your Zipline stunt was at Holmenkollen Ski Jumping Hill in Oslo. I've actually moved since then, and live just 15 minutes walking distance from that hill now. I go up there every now and then, and see people zipline down. Brave people ;)

[@janetkerby4350]

@@norwaywithpal Thank you for your correction, Pal. Lucky you living in such beautiful surroundings.

[@mosaiciste]

Great video! I especially liked the music and the editing. What a wonderful ending with the picture of you and your father from 22 years ago, and nice views with the drone. Beautiful views of my adopted country, Norway. Skoll!

[@norwaywithpal]

Tusen takk Anne! It was a nice coincidence that I ended up hiking up to that very same mountain top :D

[@leonaraines8352]

Another amazing journey in parts of Norway. Thanks for sharing

[@norwaywithpal]

You Welcome Leona, thanks for your comment :)

[@rachelpare3780]

Again thanks for sharing the beautiful sites and sceneries of Norway, Pål. You made it look easy hiking to the mountain top.

[@norwaywithpal]

Thank you Rachel! It sure was a lot easier to hike up to that top now than it was 22 years ago :)

[@efectoconsumado8674]

As always, a very interesting attractive video!

[@norwaywithpal]

Thank you, as always nice to hear from you!

[@tshansen]

Aaaahhh... so Mjøstårnet is taller than the building here in Bergen? I think that was the tallest before this was build? You have a really nice way of telling your story with the camera and footage. Truly inspiring and i may borrow some ideas i get from watching your stuff. Thank you for another great video Pål. Keep this up. 👏🏻

[@norwaywithpal]

Yep I think it's about 30 meters taller. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and feel inspired! A lot of the stuff I do comes from me being inspired by others as well. But of course we all develop our own style. I think I like the voice over a lot, because I'm not such a big fan of filming myself "vlog-style".. but I might get over that

[@tshansen]

@@norwaywithpal Haha, i have the same problem. Not comfortable in front of the camera like vloging... but my english is not the best, so i struggle to do voice overs, and if i read from notes it sound like a robotic thing... but it is getting better by the minute. I think the way you are doing it now is just great. A little bit of both. Cheers

[@norwaywithpal]

@@tshansen thanks a lot. I have a Canadian girlfriend so I get a lot of practice :)

[@robertwaymack1505]

Wonderful! I would love to return to Norway and explore new areas with you.

You are very welcome! That would have been a lot of fun :D

The classic road trip made in a hippie camper van. What could be better? Thanks Pal.

[@norwaywithpal]

hehe true! I borrowed this one, but I'm close to getting one for myself, maybe next year. Great way to explore

[@johnhinds1579]

How do you get such good pictures? Do you have help? Again, I really enjoy your work!!!

[@norwaywithpal]

Thank you! It's a one man operation :) Except I get some help from my girlfriend. She sees through my videos before I publish them, and gives me input on things I could edit differently. Which she is very good at!

[@subarcticlife445]

Dude !!! I have hitch hiked the E6 all the way from Oslo to North Cape !!!!! Actually I started hitch hiking in England 😂😂😂 And is that T3 yours ?? I have a 1984 T3 DOKA (crew cab) that I am fixing up !!! You defo have to come visit us here in the north with your T3 Pål.

[@norwaywithpal]

It belongs to the husband of my aunt, and he was kind enough to lend it to me. And I fell in LOVE with the car and with van life in general. Who knows he might let me borrow it again and I can come visit :) Your hitch hiking up north sounds like quite an adventure!

[@subarcticlife445]

@@norwaywithpal I am a bit of an old hitch hiker Pål, so a 7000km round trip is nothing special as far as distance goes, but the scenery going up changes so dramatically, and hitching thru Lofoten !!! Wow. Then again, Tana Bru , Kirkenrs and the top of Norway which I did on my next trip was just as exciting, even if it was only 3000km. With regards to the T3, there is a couple in your neck of the woods with a Blue T3 which they just put a new motor into... they’re defo worth a watch. Why don’t you get a hold of them?? His name is Simon Braeck if I have the spelling correct.

[@norwaywithpal]

@@subarcticlife445 Very cool. Don't see many hitch hikers anymore, its too bad as I think it must be a great experience both for the driver and the traveler. I'll check out that channel, I think I already saw some episodes a while ago, can't remember the name but also a blue T3. Very well made videos.

[@subarcticlife445]

@@norwaywithpal Yeah!! They have the editing down to an art, much like you have Pål. It would be awesome to see you drive up our farm drive in a T3 dude. My motor is bust at the moment and I am looking for another motor to put into her so that a convoy can be thought of. What do you think of a small convoy of T3’s going for a coupke of nights camping??. Have you looked on Blocket for a T3? They’re becoming really expensive all of a sudden, and I suspect that sellers are FINALLY figuring out up here that they’re actually worth something. I really would like to buy another one to supplement the DOKA I have already, a camper with a permanent high top like the Joker would be awesome 😎 but I think it’s going to be difficult to get something even half decent for under 40k in Kronor.

[@norwaywithpal]

@@subarcticlife445 A small convoi of T3s would have been very cool! Good luck on finding a good motor. I think the one I borrowed costed around 70k,, and it's in a pretty decent condition, so yes prices are going up, thanks to youtube I guess..hehe.. I'm not sure how this summer will look though, hard to plan anything these days.
