One step closer to the far north of Norway. Still so many stunning places left to discover. Who are tempted to visit Norway?🙋🏼‍♂️

@marcoopdenkamp 4 года назад

Simon Braeck maybe next year.....again 😉

@SimonBraeck 4 года назад

Yeeey, come come👏🏼🇳🇴

@Bertus31 4 года назад

Can't wait to visit Norway again. Planned to come back this year, but some sort of virus ruined that possibility. Did the trip to Å last year, possible the most beautiful trip in our life.

This virus thing... What a bummer, hopefully you get the chance to go back sooner rather than later!

@joshtheintern 4 года назад

Your cinematics are really good and I enjoy the vibe you give with your adventure. Definitely making me want to check out Norway !

@SimonBraeck 4 года назад

Thanks mate! We try to achieve both, so I’m glad you feel that way. Cool, put it on your bucket list😊

@richardhowson612 3 года назад

Hi there both, what a great video! Could i ask what is the name of the place or area which you stayed whilst you camped out for the night? The views are breath-taking! Thanks!

I got to say, we had some really beautiful days in the western fjords, although my heart always belong to the north🤍

Norway is a natural wonder and the best parts are in the north🤍

@Braapncamp 4 года назад

Subscribed, alot of good tips for us. We should have gone Lofoten this year but had to stay in Sweden and made Lapland instead ❤. Well made videos and can imagine that it takes some time for you during the trip. Are you living fulltime vanlife or partly (like we do)?

@SimonBraeck 4 года назад

Thanks Mattias🤗 There will be a new opportunity, hopefully sooner rather than later. Lapland is nice too, we’ve only been to the Finish part though. We use the van during the warm periods in Scandinavia, mostly weekends and usually a 5 week trip like this one :)

@ericpelkey2788 4 года назад

Is that a new seat cover that you got there? I love the world map on the ceiling. Poor Zulu is always tired. Awesome choreography and photography.

@SimonBraeck 4 года назад

We bought the van with red interior but changed the fabric early on, if you’re thinking of the blue seats? Zulu is getting a bit crazy after being spoiled with so many mountain hikes this summer, I think she is longing back to the mountains😄

wondering, whats the average speed that you run with truck norris after the upgrade to AAZ? i just got a 82 with the 1.6D and i cannot go over 55mph with it on the flats.

@GermanKorb 4 года назад

I'm glad you made it to the ferry. That sunset was so gorgeous!! Loved it.

@SimonBraeck 4 года назад

Never thought we would make it seeing how slow the van was, but luckily the van was small enough to skip the line :) Thanks mate😊

@asierelejaga2371 3 года назад

That place at the beginning of the video is one of the most beautiful places I have seen!! May I ask how to get to that viewpoint or at least how to find it on google maps? I am visiting Norway next summer and I'd love to go there. Thanks a lot guys and keep up the great work ;-)

@blackdogwildtrails3123 4 года назад

I was waiting for the engine to catch fire going by the title!! Not unusual in old VW's! The Lofotens look beautiful but I've seen loads of vlogs from there this year and I'm guessing that like the Isle of Skye, it gets mad busy? I'm guessing wild camping there might be tricky? BTW...would your dog run away if it was off lead? I've noticed you always keep her on lead, even on the beach.

@SimonBraeck 4 года назад

Let’s hope we don’t experience that any time soon😂 This year it was quite good in Lofoten, especially in August which is a bit later than the common holiday here. Also, the lesser known places are never crowded anyway. Lofoten is challenging for wild camping, it’s easier in a tent but most van parking places are often occupied. Our dog has a strong hunting instinct and there are plenty of sheep here, which is why we always need to keep here leashed, unfortunately... 😞

@wowgt93 3 года назад

i really should go and explore my own country, so breath taking. never been further north then Trondheim😂

Your country is so beautiful, so close to Sweden, but so unreachable at the moment. Great videos and photos (on Instagram). Gets really inspired to make a photo journey to Norway, as soon as the pandemic is over. Have wanted to go to Lofoten for a while, but life sometimes get in the way 😊. Fun to see that you (Simon) is a fellow ATCO. Regards from ESCF TWR 👋🏻. Keep up the great work!! /Per www.wil.se

I always love watching your videos, since I used to own a T3 Westfalia Camper. Mine even had the same colors. I live in America and am retired military guy. When I owned my T3 was a Ground Search and Rescue Team Member and my T3 was wonderful for a camping spot anywhere I could fin a spot to stop. Keep on Trucking with yours and maybe someday we'll cross paths…until then keep enjoying the magic of VW Vans. ~ ~ ~ ~ This is "Old Scooter" signing off from East Texas! Stay Safe!!

@SimonBraeck 4 года назад

We're hopefully getting our van back in the next day or two and then we'll be hitting the road for about 5 days to see how it runs. It's been in the garage for 4 weeks having the whole injection system reconditioned. Hope Mr Norris behaves himself for the rest of your trip :)

Hi, we're currently considering buying a T3. Is yours the 1.6D or is it the turbo version, and how does it drive?

@SimonBraeck 4 года назад

Hi😊 We have the 1.6TD but our turbo is non-functioning. It’s really slow uphill but it cruises fine at 90-100km/h on straight roads.

@adrianwilcock7523 4 года назад

Thanks Simon for replying so quickly

@SimonBraeck 4 года назад

Sure thing. It’s actually common to swap engine in these vans, we’re considering a 1.9L TDK engine now. If you can find a petrol 2.1L WBX, you’ll get a more powerful van with an original engine. It depends on what’s available and what you prefer of course :)
