Love the orienteering spin on the geowizard straight line challenge
get in!
Thanks!
Agree. Real authenticity.
If anyone reading this hasn't seen geowizards straight line stuff... It's a must watch.
If your channel's initials are GW, you have to do a straight line mission.
New type of triathlon: Running, swimming and rock climbing in a forest.
This was awesome!! I really like this kind of concept! You inspires me a lot, keep up the good work 🙌
Thanks, glad to hear you liked it! 😁
Have been waiting for this video since the day i saw ur run on Strava. I was really looking forward to how u managed to stay in such straight line. Bravo !! Running in nature is the best kind of run.
Thanks!
What an epic run! Definitely inspired to try something like this out. New challenges always keep training interesting
Yeah it was you should do it a cool way to get to new places 😊
😂 amazing to hear Göran say the word "shit" that made me laugh , I don't know why😂
Great video @Göran Winblad, you should do more of these adventures, they are really fun to watch
Fantastic route and video Göran! So glad to see a come back of orienteering in your channel. Can't remember how many time I replayed your orienteering videos (and running videos as well, but orienteering is the best of course 🤓😂). Always an inspiration!
Thanks, glad to hear 😊
I like, that you had to swim the river and become soaking wet for the rest of the route but never complained about it. 🙂
Haha yeah that was “refreshing” 😅
Getting it done with the Kartepullautin map as well!
Kjell Lauri (1975?):"Fågelvægen e snabbaste vægen"! (The birds route is the fastest route, meaning the compassline). Kjell Lauri was back then the best or one of the best junior orienteering runners in the world.
I love this video :) I ran many compasslines as a teenager.
Not sure I wanna battle all the snakes and Crocs with this challenge at home in Australia
Fully understand that I ran orienteering in a forest in Australia once and I was afraid all the time 😅
This is amazing. Very inspirational. I always try to find new paths in woodland areas too while running, but where I live here in the UK it's mostly thick bramble, so it's impossible most of the time. Or I'm just not tough enough. :-). The woods look awesome at your place. Bravo!
Really cool video! Reminded me of the time my friend and I decided to "take a shortcut" in the middle of the Alps because 2 roads weren't connected and it 'could not be that far' and we couldnt figure out why they didnt just connect the roads,, safe to say we found out 😂 oh well, we live and we learn.
Thansk! Haha sounds like a fun experience!
I once did orienteering in Sweden. I wasn't very good at it. The terrain can be very ambiguous and I often have to stop to get my bearings. I suppose Norway is similar... It is amazing to see you can keep a straight line for THAT long while running, that is mind-blowing!!!!
Also by the way great music 👏👏👏
Yeah the terrain in this part of Norway is similar to Sweden. Challenging but fun, thanks 😊
This was such an inspirational film Goran. Thank you 🙂
I can hear the Geowizard straight line mission theme in the background
That was a really cool challenge and a demanding one for sure. Not knowing the obstacles and the terrain, finding surprises along the way and making sure to keep going forward. Love it!
Thanks Javier, glad you liked it! 😁
I really enjoyed this video Göran. Thank you for making and sharing it with us.
Glad to hear you liked it 😊
what a madlad
😁
A joy and inspiration as always Göran! ❤
Thanks Stephen!
I absolutely love this idea, and it was so fun to watch too!
Thanks glad to hear 😊
Watching all of your videos you have the best content
Amazing scenery!! It's very pleasant to watch your videos, the atmosphere is epic!!!
Thanks Jonas makes me happy to hear 😊
That was great Goran! I really enjoyed that one. One of your best adventures and videos!
Thanks glad to hear 😊
This is Europe at its finest. Some British guy @GeoWizard invents a (on first glance stupid) game. The straight line competition catches on and the game gets real. As this game is outdoors and in the woods, of course a scandinavian catches up the idea and smashes the competition. All of this makes wonderful content! Cheers from Germany 😊
Awesome, Göran. Really inspired to do something like this here in Brazil. Thanks for sharing 😎👍🏽.
Thanks for creating this
Amazing work Göran!
Wow, congrats! That took courage on so many levels! I'm impressed!
Thanks! 😁
Great video, really enjoyed it. What it made me realise was that I used to do a lot of running like this… as I’ve got older I find myself glued to forest tracks, I think I need to step off the trail again. It’s too easy to get caught up in mins/km but when your fast days are behind you you have nothing to be afraid of. 😁
inspirational channel, Goran. I will run a half marathon for the first time this year. Cant wait.
Glad to hear! Ok I wish you the best of luck in your half marathon!
Excellent video Göran. Thanks. And very impressive keeping to that line and not getting disoriented. Even with the compass.
Thanks Peter 😊
Been following you for some time, your channel is by far my favorite running channel. Keep up the good work. Having been in Norway many times over the these years and visiting my family it’s great to see many of the places I am familiar with
Glad to hear Ralph! 😊
Great video as always. I grew-up in the UK, and even back in the 70's the Silva compass was the obvious choice. In fact we would never go out on the hills without one. I always admired them for their rugged, minimalist design. I still use them, 50 years later.
Thanks Steve! Ok that’s cool to hear, thanks for sharing!
Really inspiring and great video!! Loved watching :)
You a good Dad putting your kids first! Great run, great video.
Thanks!
Brilliant idea! Thanks for making this. Very entertaining!
Thanks glad to hear!
I Just love how you always invent new challenges. Thanks for your Great Inspiration!
Glad you like them! 😊
This a fantastic, and unbelivable epic run, the ultimate orienteering! And also gave me a maximum motivation! Thank you for to share this nice video!
Thanks, glad to hear 😁
So fun and super creative! What a crazy idea and run. Wow! Silva makes great products. From compasses, to headlamps, and more. Great video!
Thanks Chad! 😊
Great video and great challenge, well done!
Very inspiring challenge and amazing scenery 💪
🌲Inspiring & scenic all at once. Well done!👏
From 9min38 to 9min48: genius! “I can pick up the pace in this open forest …” 😅
I have to admit I am jealous on the area where you live. In Belgium even in the more open spaces most parts are private and you can not run through it.
Very fun video and pretty inspiring to see you tackle this. It makes me want to go exploring new areas myself. I'll have to brush up on my orienteering skills.
Thanks, glad to hear!
Göran, you are a crazy man :), is the first time I see someone doing crazy stuff like I do. Please keep running and inspiring others like you did with me.
What a great surroundings you have!
I agree with you goran, running trail in the forest alone is the best running experience ever👍
ur passionate to running will inspire so many people.
😁
Great video as always!
Thanks!
That is one of the coolest compasses I’ve ever seen! Ordering one this week and I’ll use your link.
Cool, glad to hear hope
You like it 😁
Göran du är en hjälte!! Otroligt inspirerande video. Tack
Kul att den inspirerade! 😊
Awesome job Göran! I think most people underestimates how difficult this is. Not only the navigation aspect, but also actually moving through some of that terrain. I know I would fail at both!
Thanks!
Well done. Great documentary 👍👍
Thanks David 😀
Thanks for the great videos Goran! You video of video of the underground endurance run at the stadium in Olso encouraged me to do my first 24 hr endurance run on a local high school track. The longest I have ever run before was 8.5 hrs. Made is the whole 24, and covered 62.75 miles! Enough to get 4th in the men's division!
Thanks for you amazing videos!

That’s super cool to hear, great job! 😁
This was great! You did it, that's so cool. A creative challenge
Thanks Daniel 😁
Very cool adventure!
It is really fun to run and challenge in this way good job
Wonderful and inspiring!
Thanks!
so cool and fun, I love all your videos and find them really inspiring (to go run on a road)
Enjoyed this!
Glad to hear!
Amazing video and challenge!! I am so envious of this type of terrain!! No way to run a straight line for 21km in Taiwan, but i’ll try to think of new similar challenges 🎉
Thanks yeah we are lucky with the nice nature we have here 😊
Your editing game is improving 😎 good stuff
Thanks!
...@ahh finally a lovely open forrest'.... Cut to dense trees and branches whiping Göran in the face 😂
Comedy gold!
Great video. Big fan of your content!
Thanks Ian!
This was an awesome video!
Thanks!
I love this so much!
Glad to hear 😊
I sort of imagine that this is what the Barkley marathons would be like. But damn, what a video Goran. Quality was insane and the challenge was super cool. Amazing.
Fantastic , what a good idea.
Thanks!
What a great idea it was! 👍
Thanks!
The swimming section was brutal, as always amazing vid!
Haha yeah that was cold 😅 thanks!
Impressive to keep the straight line!
Great challenge! As an orienteer myself, this is really spectacular! Congratulations!
Thanks! 😊
Thanks! 😊
Super fun content! And this sponsor was so good fit to the content. I've thought if expensive compass would be worth to the money and that needle defenetly looked so stable💥
Thanks! Yeah it for sure makes a difference when running!
Awesome video, love the combination of endurance and adventure! Please check for Ticks after running such a dense Forrest
Thanks glad you liked it! Yeah already did that happy I didn’t got any but they are mostly here during the summertime.
Navigating over that terrain and keeping a straight line for that long requires a lot of skill. Well done!
Thansk!
Cool video Göran!
Thanks Kjell!
Hey Göran, you're already a crazy geezer. It must have been one hell of a half marathon, but a great adventure. Only with compass and map is already ne number, what today certainly many can no longer. That somehow arouses my interest.
Great video
Haha thanks!
What a great video and Challenge👍😊
Thanks!
Så roligt att se!! Det påminner mig om när jag jobbade på riksskogstaxeringen o man var tvungen att gå exakt rakt fram med kompass för att hitta provytorna som låg mitt ute i skogen, utan vägar!
Lät som ett kul jobb! 😀
This is a cool Adventure! We don't have forrests big enough for that in Denmark
Oh yeah I love those runs 🍺🍺
Ser riktigt härligt ut! Skulle gärna se fler orienteringsvideor från dig i framtiden!
This is an amazing idea.. no tracks just gotta get there whatever it takes!
Yeah it was a super fun challenge! 😊
This is insane, I love it 😂🎉
😁
Otroligt. Du är helt galen 😂 Alltid toppnivå på content!
Haha, Tack! 😊
Love the video, once again, I commend you you absolute madlad!
One thing I cant get over is how do you not roll your ankle in the marshy/bog areas.
Getting cold feet taken literally...😂
This just reminded me of the Barkley Marathon😂 you should try your hand at it!
Good job. You're crazy, in a good way, for doing this. Top notch nordic badassery :)
I love the timing of this video. Today, I ran in the danish national championsship in Ultra long distance orienteering, and I ran 25,3 km in the forest, though NOT in a straight line!
Cool to hear, sounds like a tough and fun o-race!
@@goranwinblad it really was! If interested, you can see the course on o-track. I did M35 because I'm old 😅
brilliant watch
Thanks! 😁
I really want to try some of the orienteering races. I have a Silva expedition 4-360 and my head torch is Silva as well actually the Trailrunner Free Ultra
You should! Ok that’s cool to hear 😊
Great video :)
Thanks!
@@goranwinblad thanks for answering
I did love this video and this dumb idea. I regret not to have thought about it before. Nice challenge!
Thanks! 😊
I would like to see some information on how you went about planning this route and this adventure!
Thanks for the suggestion maybe in an upcoming video!
Legend ~
Great job. You're nuts swining in freezing water though! Come try to run through Central Ontario. You've never seen Bush so thick and ground so uneven!
Haha thanks! 😅
Fun with some orienteering content again! I've missed that.
I was thinking of doing this on my channel but we don't have friendly forest like you have there. On Vancouver Island this challenge would have me moving at 1 km per hour if I'm lucky... crashing through the heavy bush.
