    It took till you were in my neck of the woods for you to pop up on my you tube feed, its enjoyable seeing what others think, thank you for being kind, I ride around all the time and as long as you're ok with rain its generally good, especially if you keep off the usual biking roads.

    Hi Leonoor. Nice vid and beautiful landscapes of course. You need several charging sockets in your motorcycle, it is necessary for such traveling, I installed, apart from the original factory charger, also additional USB charging sockets, it is enough to charge 3 cameras, a phone, sometimes a drone, etc. Stay safe.

    Hi there LNR, great video. I did watch the video the first time as you posted it and with the same opinion as now, but I do have a question which is going to be along shot here. I have rode that area many times, but I'm so puzzled as to the road you are riding on around the 10 minutes 40 seconds point in the video, the point where you was on the wrong side of the road 😂, but have you any recollection as to what that road is and where? I know the pass you was on and well, and you said you was going to loop around there, but then that's me done, you got me totally lost I'm afraid. Many thanks if you can help.....Mark

    • @LNRmoto
      @LNRmoto  10 місяців тому

      Hi Mark, let me try to explain as I can't find a road number, but you can navigate to "Snowdonia Mountain Hostel". It a road next to the Nant Ffrancon Pass and like stated you could ride a loop there. I couldn't unfortunately as there was an event or something going on, but it's supposed to be very beautiful!

  • @stevengrindrod2002
    @stevengrindrod2002 11 місяців тому

    The whole no motorbike thing seems a fairly British thing, and probably dates back to when bikers in general gained a bad reputation due to the actions of a few bad ones. I’ve never come across it anywhere else. However, it’s an attitude that appears to be much rarer than it was, so perhaps it’ll die a natural death. I hope it didn’t spoil your trip.
    I’ve only recently found your site and am enjoying going back through all your previous trips. Thanks for sharing your experiences. 👍😊

I have been to Norway many times in the past and love it but stopped going when they withdrew the Colorline ferry from Norway to England that made it easy(I think it coincided with the opening of the Oresund Bridge a few years later). What is the best route to Norway from England now with a van keeping costs down?
