Great video. We drove over May23 with the in intention of walking Krajbolten. The road it self was clear but the snow drifts over the top were 10-20 ft deep. The guy at the visitor centre dissauded us from the walk as around 3c plus wind chill. That blind hairpin in the tunnel was interesting. Luckily we wrnt backup and back to our hotel in Stavanger. We did watch one ofthe daily ferries come in, views of it must have been very good.

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks very much! Wow can’t imagine what it must have looked like with all that snow! Yeah was not expecting an in tunnel hairpin -really cool construction! The view of the fjord as you go around the corner is breathtaking 😊. Yeah the views from the ferry where amazing (as you can see in the next episode of the Heading North Playlist). Hope you enjoyed your time in Norway -for us it was one of the best tours we have done 😊👍🏻

[@mattdrat3087]

Welcome to Norway! Hopefully the sun will show itself, but here, you never know! If Einunndalen isn't on your itinerary, it should be! Enjoy your trip!

Hi Martin, yeah a little bit slippy at times! -glad we put new tires on before the trip 😎. Thanks very much for your comment! Cheers Sean and Emily

[@marcusisacson]

I really hope you will get some nice clear and sunny weather ahead on your tour because as always nature is much more beautiful, and especially in Norway with it's scenic views and long and wide overview of the landscape it's absolutely amazing with all the colors and often more or less blue water in lake and fjords due to glacier water mixed in it 😊

[@SeanandEmily]

Always hoping for good weather but prepared for the worse =). Norway has been amazing, endless beauty and mesmerizing rides. Would be nice to see the lakes and fjords when they are blue ....good to have a reason to come back =). Cheers Sean and Emily

[@jeriksson7686]

This reminds me of how fortunate we are to live in Scandinavia. Small twisty roads, wilderness and not too many people 🙂

[@SeanandEmily]

The remoteness is what we really liked, being able to get away from everything and experience real peace and quiet. Even the places where there were people it was still tranquil and we think it attracts a similar type of people that appreciate the nature. 🙂

[@jeriksson7686]

@@SeanandEmily spot on! I usually travel north and in my opinion the best of Sweden starts north of Karlstad. From there you can access the remote places, live close to nature and feel free from "modern life" 🙂

What an incredible road! ❤

[@SeanandEmily]

Yes it was!

[@perlundsgaardandersen5329]

This road is always on our list. Not only for the hairpins, but also the drive over the mountains. The road is called Suleskarveien. On your ferry you'll be passing "preikestolen" Be carefull with your droneflying. It's not allowed in Lysebotn, probably because of helicopter traffic.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, Yeah been on our list for a while now, so awesome to actually ride it. Yeah the whole road up to it over the mountains was just as good. We would like to hike up to the Preikestolen but i think this will have to be done on another trip. I did not receive any no fly restrictions from this GEO zone (the Drone is linked to satellites and wont take off if there are flightpaths) but it is required to keep a line of sight and to have the correct EASA registration. Norway in General is very drone friendly although i do agree that one has to watch out for any helicopters operating in the area. Thanks for your comment and for remembering the road name. Cheers Sean and Emily

[@oh2mp]

Really stunning roads! I haven't been to Lysebotn yet, but it is in my bucket list. I know it well because I have seen quite many videos and photos there and seen it many times in Google Streetviews while playing GeoGuessr.

[@SeanandEmily]

It's a really cool road, what impressed me the most is the hairpin inside the tunnel!! It's a lovely little town and the boat trip (the following episode) is beautiful, if you do plan to go be sure to reserve a place on the boat as it's tiny. Emily Has now started playing GeoGuessr =)

Hi guys, Well wow,wow, wow! Ive just started watching this series and i dont know where to start. I’m just at EP 4. I’m in research mode and i think people only need to follow your journey to get one of the best insights to a motorcycle tour of Norway. I’m going to try this towards the end of summer and im absolouteley hooked, im defo off on this one 😂 Sean & Emily…..you guys are at such a high level now i think TV should bag you, the research you do, the presentation, ….the bikers will be looking out for where you are going next! Kind regards. Beans.

Hi Beans! Great to hear from you and thanks so much for your kind comment! We are really happy to hear such a positive response to the Heading North Tour as this has been one of our favourite trips! we are glad there’s plenty of information in there and we have also included the place names and important coordinates in the descriptions of each video.

Great ride and amazing views , certainly not many people around think you picked the ideal time to travel , how do you like the new tyres Sean, great camera work Em , stay safe 👍Graham L

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Graham, Oh it's amazing! Norway is full of natural beauty. It's certainly not the warmest time of year but a bit of chilly is a small price to pay for places not to be overcrowded with campervan traffic =). New tires are really good, impressed with them in the wet and they appear to be holding up well despite the continues straight roads. Thanks as always for your comments. Sean and Emily

[@eutue2rodas]

Amazing ❤👌👏

[@SeanandEmily]

Thank you! New episode on Wednesday!

[@keithwilliams8003]

Hi guys, great video, brought back some good memories. I was lucky enough to ride that amazing road with a good friend of mine back in 2006. We were working in Norway at the time and took our bikes out there for one rotation, ( a month ) instead of flying out. You could get a ferry from Newcastle to where we were working in Haugesund back then, don't think it runs anymore though. We also got the small ferry back to Stavanger and then rode back to our accommodation on Stord Island, the best days riding in forty years as a biker. Did you guys check out the Eagles Nest café / restaurant? Its perched on stilts at the top of the cliff before the decent to Lysebotn, incredible views of the Fjord. Stay safe and keep the videos coming 👍👍

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Keith, thanks for your comment and we are really glad to have brought back fond memories. That's really cool you got to work there, must have been awesome to combine work and a ride out! You are right unfortunately that ferry doesn't run anymore but I think it would be popular if they started it up again. Sounds like you had a great time and got to explore some amazing parts of Norway. Yeah we stopped very briefly at that cafe but as it was getting late we headed into the valley straight away. Thanks very much, we are heading to the Nordkapp so there will be plenty of videos over the next few weeks. Cheers and kind regards Sean and Emily

I did that pass in the spring on my way up to the top and to the Russian border, still lots of snow over the top at the time and no other traffic.

Hi Tom, our audio setup is not linked to the intercoms. We have a separate set of microphones wirelessly transmitted to the GoPro (although I do believe it is possible to use a splitter from the intercom Mic) .

[@Rolmat67]

In fact the the little part of the road to Lysebotn with the 27 hairpins is the less exciting part of the trip, because you see almost nothing when on this part of the road. But the road between the top of the hairpins between Øygardsstølen and Rysstad, going through almost lunar landscape is just fantastic !

[@SeanandEmily]

Yeah i guess so, but a twisty section is always welcomed. Great description of that road! it is indeed a 'Lunar landscape' =)

[@Rolmat67]

@@SeanandEmily OK for the welcome twisty section, here you can at least wear out the tire's sides, so they are not too flat when you come home after a trip to Norway ! 😁

[@brianeaston3748]

Hi, great vid and the GSA is the perfect tool for your trip 👍 I've just done 650 miles so getting my first service done at BMW in Dundee 😀 I love the look of the triple black,it's the best colour,in my opinion, Love your helmets,what model and make are they? Enjoy your adventure 😀

[@brianeaston3748]

Hi there, I always put E5 in my bikes, I had a H2SX and it didn't run as smoothly on E10 so definitely if I can always premium fuel in the bike 👍

Hi Brian, thanks very much -glad you liked it there's many more on the way. Totally agree with you the Black is our favorite too -it's timeless and never looks dated. Congratulations to you too on the new bike! You will finally be able to open it up now it's had it's run in period 😀. They are the Aventuro Traveller Carbon from Touratech (link at the bottom) Thanks very much the weather gets better soon on our trip lol Cheers Sean and Emily www.touratech.com/aventuro-traveller-carbon.html

@@SeanandEmilyyeah, nice looking helmets, I love my Arai but looking for something different now, Will be good to feel more of that torque after the first service,I'm used to inline four engines so it's a nice change, You would love the H2SX for touring but not as comfortable as the GSA ,more sporty,but you would get there pretty quickly 😀 The footage on your trip is absolutely breathtaking, and the both of you are so enthusiastic and positive👍

Yeah that Torque on tours is unbeatable, effortless and yet instant power when needed -you're going to love it! haha yeah for sure maybe too quick and miss all the scenery 😀 Thanks again we appreciate your comment!

Hi, Em is not Celiac but as you say the diet is the same -it's just we dont need to buy certified gluten free products if we check the ingredients -however i think you could safely eat with us =).

Hello In july 2025 i will gonna do with my cousin (2 motorcycles) the trip PORTUGAL > PREIKESTOLEN > PORTUGAL We will gonna take the ship/ferry from Hirtshals (Denmark) to Kristiansand (Norway) KRISTIANSAND to LYSEBOTN and then to JORPELAND. Question: From LYSEBOTN to JORPELAND we can go driving the motorcycles by the road or we need to take a SHIP/FERRY ? If need take the ferry...how long time for that ? Thank you

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, I think we mention it in the next episode where we take the ferry. There is no road out of Lysebotn so you will need to take the ferry. This is actually one of the most spectacular ferries so it’s really worth it. The ferry only takes about 2 hours if i remember correctly. Just keep in mind you need to reserve this ferry as it’s only small and will sell out quickly -almost no chance of just turning up for it. When we took it they were turning bikes and cars away. 😎👍🏻
