- Hi all,
Well after a year, almost exactly, I bring you the video! The trip was fun but I should have gone with a fellow rider. I suppose you can only learn these things by trying things out. I wouldn't do such a long trip alone again. I guess I am a team person and not a lone adventure person!
Sorry for the delay and sorry for:
a. The failure of the camera system! I ended up with just a phone, 1 GoPro and a drone, basically!
b. The lack of good TET footage. I only did about 100 miles on the TET as I was worried about being alone, the lack of experience I had and the weight of the bike. If I dropped the bike, even at a standstill, I would have been in huge trouble! Please don't let this put you off if you are planning a trip! It's fine - I just should have gone with a friend!
c. The video takes an age to film! It takes over the whole holiday. So in the end you get what you get!! I have a new found respect for UA-camrs who put out this great footage on a regular basis. It must a full time job!
Thanks for watching. If you did!

Have fun! And ride safe!

As a Swede I’m happy to see this v-log !
Why ?
Because you drove through Sweden , most bikers either takes the ferry from Denmark to Norway or drive through Denmark over the Öresundsbridge - like you did - and then the E6 the whole way up to Norway.
It’s always nice to see bikers who dares different ways through Scandinavia.
I give my both thumbs up to this v-log !
Thank you! I enjoyed Sweden with exception of the mosquitoes!!! You have an amazing country!
Very nice trip, one for my bucket list. Your UA-cam video is very good considering the challenges you faced with equipment 👍
Have a thumbs up and a subscription
Thanks! That’s very kind. I hope you get to do the trip.
That was really very good. A few days of decent mileage too ! You must have been knackered. Like many here with their "bucket lists" it is on mine too but will take the 21 day option and slow it down a bit. Thank you for posting.
Thanks very much! It was a good trip and I am glad I did it. Quite isolated in places but amazing scenery and views. I hope you get to do it too.
Thanks for sharing your trip and the gpx. Nordkapp from the UK is definitely on my bucket list in the coming years to do....think I would like to allow 21 - 22 days to keep the daily mileage down though, it looked like you had some long days in the saddle. Stunning scenery 👌
Hi Darren, yes, I think 21 days is the ideal amount of time. I hope you have a great time. Thanks for watching! Mike😃
👌👌👌👍
👍
Great vlog
Thanks!
From Iceland to Nordkapp just two weeks before you. Ferry Iceland/Hirtshals and back.From Hirtshals to Hirtshals again in 24 days. Did Lindesnes also. A great trip, so great that I went back this summer for 17 days, mainly for Vestkap and then the Vildmarksvägen ( Wilderness road) in Sweden, down to Bornholm and to Hirtshals again via Denmark. Enjoyed your video, but you must have had a sore butt sometimes :-)
Sounds like a fantastic trip!! Glad you enjoyed it too.
Brilliant
Thanks Steven
What a trip! Nice footage, there some cracking stuff in there! and better than quite a few ive watched. You seemed to have captured so many great parts of the trip. I am so keen to do this very trip, and your footage has inspired me furthermore. Thanks for the GPX file also, its a starting place for me. What part of the TET did you manage, im interested to know and would like to do similar without it being over challenging.
Hiya, thanks very much for the comments. That’s very kind of you. The TET section shown is essentially the southern section. If you look at the TET website you will see that the Sweden route has 2 routes that join to become one as it routes North of Malmo area. The bit I rode was from the point they join onwards. A hope you enjoy the trip when you do it! My only advice would be - if you are camping - do everything you can to avoid mosquito season. They were the worst I have ever seen. If you stop at any point from mid-Sweden Northwards you are surrounded by thousands in seconds. It’s really uncomfortable. According to locals 2022 was the worst year for ages so maybe you won’t have the problem!! 🤞🏼
Kudos to you bro.. Sort of ride I would like to do.. Love the shots..Great editing. Well done. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks for the comment. Thats very kind of you! I am glad that someone watched it and even enjoyed it!!!
I travelled up to Nordkapp in July/Aug 2023. Motorcycles are exempt from the road tolls hence why you weren't charged. I think I ended up doing 5500 miles in 2 weeks!
Thanks!! That explains it!! Great trip.
110 %
Thank you!
Nice video, thanks for sharing. I looked it until the end. 360 cam brings already nice clips. I create vids for years as well, with 4 cams ( 2x GP7, 1x GP 5, 1x Insta360 + DJI Mavic) in the meantime (even they are in german language 🤣) . Post production take some time, but I am ok with my current workflow. Anyway, your trip was fantastic, nice weather, stunnig scenery. Take care and ride safe. All the best from Germany
Thanks very much. It was a good trip. I wish you well with your journeys and your films!
Beni buromdaki sıkıcı ve boğucu ortamdan çıkartıp gezdirdiğin için teşekkürler....
Benim için zevkti! İzlediğiniz için teşekkürler!
Oh mate, no need to apologise whatsoever. #1 You've just done something that most people can only dream of and will never achieve themselves. Don't let them judge you, and don't judge yourself either. I think you did awesome. #2 You're providing this content to us for free. So I say thank you! It wasn't quite the video I'd waited for but I still genuinely enjoyed it. I'm heading for a (small) lap of Morocco on a GSA next year and I'm still contemplating whether to film or not - your experience has provided valuable insight for me. I'm wondering would your views change about the filming if you did half the total mileage, on an alternating "Film Day. Progress Day" basis? Do you think that would make it more palatable? Finally, if you can find a travel companion who travels at the same pace as you, on the same roads as you, staying in the same hotels as you... that's fantastic. Personally I prefer to ride solo - but with a travel partner. We agree to stay in the same map qudrant to render mutual assistance if needed, rather than in each others pockets annoying each other :) (I jest, but I think you get the point). That partner doesn't need to be on a motor bike, it could just be local contacts, phone numbers, assistance en-route if needed. Anyway, I think you did awesome. That was a massive trip, massive kudos to you and thank you for the vids. Cheers.
Hiya, thanks for such long and well thought out comment! Thank you for your thoughts. I totally understand the problem that you highlight. I did want to do it by myself but I then realised that I actually really didn't enjoy being on my own. You are absolutely correct that it's easy to annoy each other and the older we get and the more stuck in our ways we get, it becomes a more comfortable thought to be alone. But I think next time I need to find someone to travel with. I have travelled alone for shorter periods before and it was fine but I think for a 2-3 weeker then I need to be with someone to 'shoot the s"%t' with! The filming was quite a commitment. I enjoyed getting the drone out and having a play occasionally but the day to day coverage of the route was difficult to be enthusiastic about. I actually love the editing part but this time for various reasons it took me a while to get around to it!! I think the footage that I got was acceptable but its hardly amazing!! A film day / progress day probably would have been a better idea really. Then you are not so pressured into having to stop but feeling that you need to get on with it. Anyway, thanks for the comments. I wish you at the very best for Morocco. I am going over this year with a few friends and hiring bikes for 6 days. It's a trip that is lead by Chris Scott the author of 'Adventure Motorcycling'. I hope you do film it so I can see how its done!!! Good luck!
I Mike! How I understand you. For as long as 5 years I am trying to make videos of my trips... It takes too long to edit and, sometimes I feel I loose some things in the road because I'm worried to film. And my passions are writing and photo...not movie. Well...movie too, but it takes too much time... But I'll continue trying....
I've enjoyed this video of your trip to NordKapp because I want to do that next year. Meanwhile, if you come to south, to Portugal, I'll be glad to take you to some of great roads we have here. Cheers!
Hello! Thanks for such a great comment to my video! I like the end result of the video and I start out with grand plans about filming this and filming that but then the trip gets going and I find it a bit of an inconvenience. I shouldn't moan because I love being on the bike and I enjoy the editing. I think for this trip I would have been better off with someone else! I hope one day to ride to Portugal and maybe we can film a trip together!! Good luck. Ride safe!
Don't compare yourself (and your videos) with someone else. You have your "language" and that's fine. Enough length of the clips to enjoy the scenery and the music is in the background! How did you feel about the change of tires from nobby ones to street?
Hi Erik, it felt very strange but only for a few miles. When I put them on it felt like the bike was really unstable. I suppose that's what comes of riding on a 'flat' surface and then changing to a very 'round' surface!! Thanks for your comment. M
Great video . Some day I am going to do the same journey , only then from Eindhoven
Thanks for the comment. I hope you enjoy the trip!
Thanks for sharing 🤓👍🏻😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻from British Columbia
Thanks!!!
I enjoyed the video. I am pleased to see that your trip went well, I was slightly worried when you didn’t post for a year that things hadn’t gone to plan. I know exactly what you mean about the filming. I’ve tried it on two trips and have been surprised how much effort it takes. Needless to say, what I’ve ended up with wasn’t enough to make anything worth sharing. I’d love to hear more about your trip, so if you’re still up for a coffee sometime, drop me a line
Hi Nick, Thanks for your kind comment. Yes, I did the trip and then I totally failed to get my arse in gear and actually do the video. The year anniversary was sufficient to get me to sort it out!! I wouldn't say it went to plan but near enough!! You are absolutely right about the time required to do the filming. A segment that might be a 5-10 second clip can end up taking around 45 minutes to film!! However, it's a good memory of the event!! I am now living in Yorkshire so the coffee will be more tricky but if you are ever around Ripon then yes! All the best to you.
@@travelsonagsa I know the feeling all too well still haven't compiled my USA Harley tour a group of us from work did in Oct 22 but am retiring in Sept so hopefully plenty of days when Im not out and about on the bike to do the admin side, Im off to Norway late June and am heading up through Sweden and Finland in 2 big hits as Im used to big big milage days (mid Cheshire to Benidorm in 36 hours with one overnighter), then I can take my time coming back down the coast, this video has put a lot of ideas on the list thanks
