R1Liz - Cost Breakdown for 3 weeks in Norway

[@phillipchandler8862]

That was a great achievement Liz, especially on your own. You showed lots of determination and strength of character. Really well done!! 👌👍

[@RegularJon]

Congratulations on completing the trip, it looked great! Norway and Iceland have been on my list for a while so I’m looking forward to your next series! Also, love the swearing in the series, for some reason people hate swearing on my videos and I’ll never understand why! 😂

[@R1_Liz]

Thank you! I’m so excited for Iceland 😁 I try to avoid swearing now, yes people do love it but the people that don’t complain the loudest - better for me to find more creative ways to be rude, but, somethings you do just need to shout the F word super loudly

[@RegularJon]

@@R1_Liz you are right there, I guess as long as the videos don’t get demonetised then everyone is a winner! Good luck with the Iceland trip! 😁

[@UsernameKate]

Loved this liz, so insightful ❤

It was a blast to follow along. As you say, there are no toll roads for bikes on the main roads.There are some toll roads, that you have to pay for on every vehicle, but those are more for providing upkeep of that actual road. There are some on the mountain range dividing the west from the east. I think it is quite astonishing, that you made that whole trip on a r-bike :D

[@Karl3642]

Brilliant Liz. First class adventuring, and a really great series to watch. Now it’s in your blood, and once the dust settles you’ll soon be planning your next one.

[@R1_Liz]

I’m already excited for winter trips in the UK while I wait for the weather to become acceptable to go north again 😬 I want to take Pinky to Iceland next

17:36 LOOMIES MOTO CAFE Was here today

[@arner8752]

I agree with KurtArdal,your travel to NorthCape in September show other riders that off season trips is smart travel !. In July,start of August (Preikestolen,Geiranger,Lofoten,North Cape,Ferrylines.) is overcrowded with tourists (cars,campervans,motorbikes,cruise ships,HurtigRuta Bergen-Kirkenes,osv). It easy to find a place to stay overnight (camping,AirBnB,Hotel,osv). You can get quick help from local BMW dealership (Trondheim,Stavanger,you also have a dealer in Bodø). Your travel bring back good memories from my first long distance trip to Italy in 2013 (Stelvio,Livigno,South of France) on my 2002 Yamaha Tdm900.Tree hot weeks in June/July 2013. Maybe you should ask Visit Norway to send Norwegian chocolate to England.

[@cabovermike]

You remind me of "Red renna" she was brilliant with her rambling rides, new sub here, cheers ,.

[@TimS57064]

Okay, Yeah, glad you made it home in one piece. That trip seemed like quite an ordeal, plenty of up's and downs. More downs, than what I am sure you were liking, yet you prevailed and came thru it with flying colors. Not all sure that I would have even attempted it at that time of the year. Although, am not certain, what summers are like there. I said it before, yet this time I find it means so much more. You Are One Gutsy Lass. Huge Kudos to You.

[@R1_Liz]

I look back with such fond memories that my dad had to remind me that it wasn’t all roses 😅 I imagine summer is nice but the potential for wind and rain is always there, and in September I enjoyed quiet roads and lots of overnight availability, so I think I made the right choice even if the weather chased me home again.

[@T_C_R_M]

Nice to hear a breakdown of costs for the trip, Was great watching your travels, it is on my to do list

[@DavidWhite-et6ve]

Absolutely loved you trip videos as always take care ride safe hopefully you will tell us about your bike when serviced take care ride safe

[@R1_Liz]

Thank you! Pinky is in for her service this month so you’ll see her again in November 🥰

[@markfromleeds]

Mega thank you for sharing your trip with us.

[@runeburdahl7141]

Thank you, sounds realistic after following your trip. However you have to take the exchange rate into account. For years the pound was about 10 nok, now it's a lot more than that. 13.3 last time I checked. Which makes Norway a lot cheaper for travellers from the uk and the eurozone due to the weak krone.

[@nigeltankard6977]

Afternoon Liz, thanks for all the details on costs for your trip to Norway

[@paulcrumpton9849]

Good video, thanks for that, think you managed to keep the costs very well considering it's Norway. The accomodation particularly was much cheaper than I imagined, gives me hope that our proposed trip to Nordkapp is a goer.

[@R1_Liz]

I was surprised how easy it was to get accommodation sorted reasonably, and most places were really lovely! Also if you’re travelling with people, it’s much cheaper - cabins are £50-80 a night and can house 3 or 4 people, lots of air bnbs costing £50 a night could have 2 or 3 beds included, so once you start splitting costs up it really can be cheaper to just not bother with camping

[@paulcrumpton9849]

That's great info, my missus hates camping these days so it's good there's plenty of other options, bless air bnb

[@andrewharrop7932]

Cracking series👍 it doesn't matter too much (with in reason) what it costs as you have great memories. Take care,stay safe 🏍👍👌

[@andyhoney7030]

Enjoyed following you on the trip, certainly inspirational & cheers for the cost breakdown . Loved the way Veganism was kicked into touch early doors😂 Been to Norway a few times to dive & its certainly expensive. Reckon Id have to allow double your food budget & doubt id be loosing any weight! Post holiday blue's always a bummer. Look forward to your next tour

[@R1_Liz]

Thank you! Veganism will be making a return once I’ve finished the cheese I brought home from France - my body really loved the diet and I’m noticing negative changes now that I’m eating meat and dairy again, which is a shame because I do really love cheeseburgers.

[@stevealker7316]

Thanks for the cost breakdown liz. It deffo will help me plan my costs of going there.

[@exsoulagent]

Nice trip, did a 2500 round trip to Sweden/ Norway on my classic 1964 lambretta scooter myself this year. Not cheap but the views are stunning

[@TomVestvik]

On a 1964 Lambretta. That’s impressive. It’s fun seeing guys like you out there on the road.

[@abladerunner831]

[@exsoulagent]

@@abladerunner831you should try it, always a challenge on our little shopping trolley 😉

[@R1_Liz]

On a Lambretta! That must have been exciting, how much luggage did you take?

[@exsoulagent]

Enough clothes for a week and the rest spare parts which was enough to bend the rear rack. Overall trip was two weeks

[@ArcticExploring]

It is quite expensive here in Norway, but you got memories for life and hope you will visit again.

[@R1_Liz]

Expensive, but worth it, I don’t mind paying double for my bottle of Fanta if it actually tastes like orange 😅

[@ArcticExploring]

@@R1_Liz But like you said, Solo is better 🙂

[@openroadadventure9717]

Great following your adventure, looking forward to your next one, im hopefully heading too Norway for Christmas and new year also hoping things are actually open when im away,,, all weather permitting of course ! my aim is to be standing at the ARTIC CIRCLE CENTER on 1st jan for a picture then head back down, love the breakdown cost thanks gives me some ideas of costing, failing that its off to warmer climates , keeep up the great videos its good to follow a youtuber that doesnt sell there sole for freebies and constantly name drop, keep it real and keep the video coming ,,happy follower !

[@R1_Liz]

Thank you for the comment! Although I don’t hate a bit of name-dropping - when other people do it it helps me on my shopping sprees (otherwise I have to go into detective mode to figure out what shoes they’re wearing etc) 😁 Norway at Christmas must be magical! And the Arctic circle centre for new years will be incredible, I’d love to start my year with something equally memorable 💖 good luck!

[@andrewpurkis1049]

That is good going!!

[@robertsmith4466]

Crossing at Dover you can go north without any road charges and the crossing is a bit cheaper and quicker.

[@R1_Liz]

Definitely a better way to do it, I couldn’t be bothered to ride to Dover so I chose a closer UK crossing ☺️

[@drmengawyong]

Looking to go to Norway myself definitely not camping will pick your brains well done on a sports bike mine is A Multistrada

[@R1_Liz]

A multistrada will love Norway 😁 ask me anything or feel free to ask privately through messages/email, happy to help

Awesome ❤️❤️

[@PureEvolution]

So want to do Norway soon so great breakdown of cost so i got an idea on what i am getting myself into..

[@R1_Liz]

It’ll be totally worth it, and if you can go with a few more people I think realistically you can save loads on accommodation

[@PureEvolution]

@@R1_Liz My brother is always up for a trip and well i am also gilt triping a few friends into trying out the touring also

[@jonhewitt3]

Iceland is expensive, I did managed to eat a hotdog with bacon every day. Beer was about £9.50 a pint. The honey mustard in Subway tasted better than here!

[@R1_Liz]

So many things taste better in Europe! I forgot about beer costs, I don’t really drink so it didn’t occur to me but I heard Norway is a very expensive place to drink in too

[@tedyee]

3:30 is the exact area my friend broke down on his crap lexmoto 😂

[@RevZolution]

LIZ, any chance you can up the camera angel a bit more?

[@R1_Liz]

Hi Revsolution, if you read the description you’ll see that I’m very aware that the GoPro was pointing down for this video, and don’t deliberately point it at my dash but thank you for the advice

[@corecass]

i also have bine there. i basicly /10 the nok. than i would be close to the value of the euro. [and i went to growsery stores for meat and other stuff that was cheap in there eye's .. [than you can get cheaper food than the gas station] so i ate some reindeer's

[@MauriceTarantulas]

18k great stuff! Scandinavian countries are def more expensive. (Well maybe thats good for me...less beer😂) P.s Am looking at boots last few weeks. (Need waterproof adv boots. Plus have to investigate a larger tarp). One area I thought could save a lot is having your own dehydrated foods. E.g like a luxury pot noodle...take a lightweight bbq...

[@R1_Liz]

I got the Everest boots by Rev-it and they were faultless on this trip but there’s so many cool looking gore-tex boots out there I feel like I could be shopping forever and end up needing a storage container. I’ve seen these survival food bags and I’m sure they’re a great idea, I carried bags of noodles around and they got me out of a few hungry situations but mostly I’m happy to eat cheap petrol station foods, never get tired of a good meal deal either 😁

[@MauriceTarantulas]

@@R1_Liz Yeah a hot sausage roll at a petrol station can be a lifesaver! Am looking at some Formas currently.

[@reverendhoover]

What's the next adventure, that you're planning?

[@R1_Liz]

Really like being cold and wet so I want to ride round Iceland

[@mattskentala2323]

it would have been good if you had put the text and numbers, not all Followers understand the spoken English language so well. otherwise you have had an interesting trip to Norway, I myself have ridden a motorcycle (BMW) a lot in Norway

[@R1_Liz]

Good point - thank you, subtitles would be a really useful addition to this and other videos, I’ll work on it 😁

[@marton_horvath]

"they had cheese in the middle" sounds like an oddly solid system to determine goodness

[@R1_Liz]

Might have to be the new standard

[@benderbender1233]

👋😘

[@wanderlpnw]

I think I'd just eat those thin waffles and put cheese in it for every meal. I had to go get them a couple times after watching your videos.

[@R1_Liz]

I forgot about those! Such a good breakfast

[@LukeAshton05]

Oh beer..

[@kamhairue9757]

Around 100 pounds a day sounds cheap

Not good long term but an ok holiday budget

[@korazon3spinado]

Did that include everything? Like fuel for the motorcycle?

Ruined.

It took me a while to realise your profile picture is a haystack and not a big Dorito

[@rustynuts82]

Not so expensive on ferries tbf. So wild camping and then eat road kill will be a cheap bike trip! Might do scandi after all.

[@R1_Liz]

Wildcamp yes - but there’s no roadkill over there! I maybe saw one animal on the road side, so you’ll have to go for hotdogs
