This is the story about the greatest bikepacking adventure of my life. Set in the land of the midnight Sun. Starting in the scenic and hospitable Lofoten Islands and ending where the road ends. At the northernmost point of Europe. The North Cape. An 1100 kilometer long ride going along jaw- dropping fjords, sandy white beaches, snow covered peaks, crystal clear water and some of the most spectacular roads you’ve ever seen. All these things combined makes this an adventure of a lifetime.

Finally back again! I've probably spent the last two-three months editing this video. I really wanted to get it perfect and to showcase the wonderful surroundings in the best way. It's a little bit different style than my previous videos, so I would love to get some feedback from you what you think about this format. Oh, and i'll be back in two weeks again with a jam-packed video from my first day in the Lofoten Islands.

Hi Mike, such a wonderful video! I was looking forward to seeing this so much and you have delivered such great footage! My boyfriend and I plan to do this tour in 2024 and this video just makes me want to go right now. Before I got to the end and read the explanation, I was missing some more detail as you usually show. But I think for someone who doesn't already plan to do this trip, this is a great resource in figuring out whether they want to do so. Seriously the landscape footage is incredible! Watched it twice! Now I am really looking forward to see and hear some details about the roads, your campspots and food. I am really grateful that you share this with us! Zoe

Hi Mike! I watched this video about 9 months ago and just recycled back to watch it again. What an INCREDIBLE journey you captured on camera. This is like watching a National Geographic Documentary Film. Excellent camera and drone shots, perfect selections of music, informative narrating, and breathtaking landscape that is hard to take in all the beauty.
@Hertog_von_Berkshire

Thanks Mike, fantastic video. Very nostalgic for me as I rode from Narvik to Nordkapp in 1985 and I recognise some of the scenes. The deep tunnel from the mainland to Magarøya didn't exist at that time so we had to take a ferry. Sorry to see the Lyngen mountains with so much bare rock. In Summer 1988, they were 99% snow covered. I wonder if this is a consequence of global warming?
@BikeTouringMike
@BikeTouringMike Год назад
Thank you Hertog! Yeah I was really surprised by the lack of snow up on the Sennalandet as well. I had expected a lot of snow up there, but there was hardly any there. This summer had been extremely warm according to the locals I spoke to. They told me that some reindeer had even wandered into the tunnels to take shelter from the sun and to cool down. The week before I arrived in Alta they had up to 30C for a couple of days straight. That's crazy to think about if you look at a map and realize how far up north it is.
@Hertog_von_Berkshire

Thanks Al! Except for Lofoten and close to the Cape there weren't that many RVs. But sometimes you ran into a long train of RVs or mototrcycles. My guess would be some sort of organized tour, probably German. Safety in numbers, you know. I caught that RV train by accident. I was just setting up the camera for a ride-by shot and they drove past the camera. Thought it was a bit amusing to count them. :-)

@@BikeTouringMike yes, some years ago (2010 and 2012 - before action cameras had been invented so my RU-vid clips are only slide shows). Norway is certainly a beautiful cycling country and I found the people very ftiendly. (Actually, Swedish people are also very friendly). Your videos are great ‘memory joggers’, thank you for making the effort to produce informative and high quality videos.

Wonderful vlog ❤️ 🇳🇴 Have been lucky to visit Norway 5 times and to me is the most beautiful country I’ve ever visited. Most trips have been to the western fjords and once to the Tromso area in the winter but still amazing with Sommaroy being the highlight which I believe I saw on this visit. Definitely want to visit Lofoten and Senja one day.

Absolutely stunning, Mike - both the journey and the video production. Thanks so much for all the work you put into this, and for sharing it here. I have two questions - out of curiosity. A quick google search tells me that Swedes and Norwegians can pretty much understand each other's spoken language. Is that true? Also, I wonder how a trip like this would be for someone who speaks only English. Do you have any thoughts about that?

Thank you Jerry! Glad you enjoyed the video. Regarding your questions, yes we understand each other rather well, especially us living up north. Our dialects are very similar although we differ a bit grammatically. And you'll be just fine with just speaking English in both Norway and Sweden. We are very anglicized around here. Most of our TV shows are in English and lately at many bigger companies English is spoken almost as much as Swedish. Expect everyone under the age of 50 to be pretty much fluent in English.

That's Norway weather for you I guess. Hope you had some other days with nice weather. Watching back on my trip I realize that I was extremly lucky with the weather. Just saw another video of two guys cycling up to the Cape. They arrieved in August, and they had so severe winds up at the North Cape that the authorities actually shut down the road so they ended up being stuck there for a couple of days.

Did Tarifa to Nordkapp in 2018 and followed the same route as you through the Lofoten Islands and on to the Cape . You’ve done a beautiful job of translating the scenery and effort required to cycle that terrain on to the screen. Well done you.
