Norway By Bike #5 – Geiranger to Trollstigen by Motorcycle

Part 5.

Today‘s riding takes us one final step closer to the infamous Trollstigen.
We ride through yet more astonishing scenery before climbing up to the top of the Geiranger Skywalk at Dalsnibba. As the highest road accessed view point in Norway, it affords a stunning preview of the view down to Geiranger before we ride the same way for real. The only question is, what‘s going on with the weather?!

Oh my God I’m supposed to start the day already sweating this is supposed to be the cool bit all right and after leaving hoof put the grind first stop sky’s the limit well this guy’s a part-time stop and then on to good brands of it where we will find the

Troll steeden the trosting or however you pronounce it and then we’ve got a whole day oh it’s an overly conscientious GS driver or either that or he’s got a cow Kink I’m going to wait until all of the cows are in the field and then I’m going to

Wait until my penis is soft again I don’t know that’s not fair that he’s German this it’s not fair and that that whole campsite there at the princely sum of 45 Euros the night although it was was a bit quaint wasn’t it a little bunk beds and the

Little cookery oven thing but we were the only no it was only one of the motorbike in the whole campsite and a lovely little Lake out the back which if you were happy to wander through the boggy Marsh you could go and have a look at oh and also fight with the mosquitoes

Because they were that’s the first time I’ve actually experienced these famous Savage Norwegian mosquitoes I had a mosquito repellent bath before we went out looked like a proper Plum going for a wee in the night with my thermal trousers thermal top and my bike boots on

Yeah whereas Ian went out in his shorts and his flip-flops and when I said to him are you mad you’re gonna get destroyed you went yeah they’re gonna need a an eight-man crew to get through these Legos and I think they’d need actual cutting equipment to get through

The hairs on your chest and your back wouldn’t they he’s got that good here to be thatch so they used to make Brillo turns out of her back in the day until they realized it was too hard and they started wearing plates away oh there’s a splash of sunshine there’s wasn’t expecting that

The weather has taken a very tangential turn today but we’re definitely definitely expecting weather so everything is waterproof packed including us I think Ian is looking forward to having the first opportunity to properly test his record gear yeah yeah he would rather never test it but yeah needs must I think we’re gonna

Get wet today oh yeah saying that we’ve got wet every day on the inside because of all the schwitzing we’ve been doing right tires are warm already aren’t they give it some Wang well there’s a there’s a cattle grid there I don’t want to give

It Wang over that stand down on the Wang tell you what considering we’ve come out the campsite a bang on nine o’clock this rush hour traffic is a killer isn’t it oh God this can be every day forget it be like a steering wheel in my pants they drive me nuts

Oh it’s an oldie but goodie yeah absolutely right here you’d start your commute at six in the morning to be at work for nine I mean I’m just going down the shops to get a pint of milk glove I’ll be back in a week Thank you Foreign A couple of Gremlins with the chain oiler the Dual injector is only dual injecting on one side into this little beast is melted clothes because it’s rubbing on the sprocket so it’s just popped out the nozzle hopefully if I cut off the end just stick that back in the oiler to the

Clicks there you go should hopefully now get oil on both sides and now it’s perfectly warm to the sprocket so yeah marvelous there’s obviously add a bit more pressure on this side yeah I can see oil coming out there already brilliant that’s right we are then

You pushed me with your wheel right you ready well then it looks like this is it we’re fully waterproof molded Up all In Rain mode what’s all this traffic about major road I think it’ll get very minor again soon enough major road Minor Road um move over

You’re gonna right turn to string so offer this Main Road bull shizzle let’s head up to guy ronga now please we’ve got a little way to go yet before we get to gaironga maybe the weather will be nicer up there unfortunately this is kind of it’s this

Is paying paying back the credit isn’t it we’ve had such a bunch of amazing days this is unfortunately the uh the piper calling for his dues well I bet that would be a stupendous view if there wasn’t loads of water in the air or even in the rain that’s pretty spectacular isn’t it

Hahaha shop it yeah yeah I’ll take the rain out in post if there’s a cruise ship over there another one over there isn’t it incredible though that these things when you see the moored up in Hamburg which I see quite a lot they look immense it’s

Like a small City and then you see them here and it looks like a dinghy doesn’t it oh man Knuckles are so Square my Knuckles are so Square they’ve got a corner over here and another color over there monacas are so Square foreign ‘s like this I just don’t really mind it that much because the kit keeps me dry and I know that it’s going to be dry Again by the morning the tires give me enough grip to have a good ride that’s where we want to go isn’t it look snowy and sunny

Yeah half an hour thank you thank you what was that about half an hour oh really well that is brilliant he’s just let us through awesome stuff foreign 500 meters picnic spot having it oh yeah eight degrees in that tunnel cheese I wasn’t ready for that it’s a bit mesmerizing you know sitting

Here watching the water go boss that does make me need to have another Wii though that’s good it’s starting to rain again I had hoped for that I’ve got put on a bit of Lippy the purple on so there we go guys look at that Willis Jeep

Yeah I think yeah with the booking I think I’ve I must have had some kind of a administrative error today because the rain wasn’t booked the other traffic wasn’t booked yet very sorry about that Ian no I’ll try harder tomorrow I promise it’s a bit windy down here that’s

Probably just whipping through like a wind tunnel isn’t it well of course cool so you wanna do you want to try this on a Naked Bike you feel everything try it naked you’ll feel everything that’s what she said I’ll be awake Things are finally right with you and I the future is Before I sleep hear the Crickets see the moon through what we can do Oh we know what we have let’s Hold On Tight found what we’re looking for in life call us crazy but things are finally right Thank you no more [Applause] You must there we go that’s the top down view of the guy ranga Fjord so now going back down and going right through it and the bottom see the top up view yeah crazy crazy that the rain just stopped pretty much just got to the top but there’s an explanation to those out

There who were hoping for it I didn’t bung the Drone in the air because as we were stood there either three helicopters or the same helicopter going back three times flew past us and I didn’t really want to be nailing my drone into a helicopter and killing everybody on board

That’s just immense isn’t it oh he’s indicating right what a legend thank you cheers mate thank you another waterfall for the collection oh the barriers just started coming down after me to the right yourself rightly and then we’re on that’s go go yeah I’ve never knife see I told you the

Delivery was on the way it was just delayed supply chain issues that’s all it is Thank you [Applause] [Applause] Thank you Thank you [Applause] foreign [Applause] [Applause] So much more traffic here isn’t there was it I was gonna say originally I expected there to be more traffic here and I was kind of pessimistically expecting for it to perhaps not necessarily you know it was like one of those tourist traps where the reason the people are

There isn’t necessarily better than everything else it’s just got a reputation but unfortunately after the views up the top and the way this Fjord looks that’s all very very much worth seeing isn’t it worth dealing with a little bit of traffic and I mean to overtake behemoths on the hairpins

There we go that’s the end of the guy rangafjord now we’re going into a different one I don’t know what it’s called oh steady I know it’s gonna overtake there hello chap Just 30 kilometers left so we get to the doorstep of the troll Stephen oh bloody hell another field I’m sick of it I’m sick of these sites I am really really sorry and I promised you amazing sights in Norway and it’s just not coming together that is true over here 16 minutes in

Between the incredible Wonders of the World level sights is a bit much isn’t it I’ll try harder next time but with the looks of it this is where we’re going to be getting the ferry from I don’t know maybe this isn’t it uh I’m gonna have to check oh look at that

That’s awesome okay yeah there must be the one then yeah okay thank you thank you if you hurry you can make it yeah not like that though you said it much more manly it is called Norwegian accent So dirty it’s all dirty Oh look at that 37 kilometers to the troll stegan tomorrow’s playground oh the fjords of noise yeah I don’t know I don’t know I’ve got nothing there we go this is where we can later come shopping fuel our bikes up for tomorrow’s Joy oh that is fresh exciting it’s everything to me

Oh hello look at this I must have accidentally put a waypoint just off the road because we’re back on the road we were on that’s it then charging towards that monstrosity the last five days it’s the last five gays it’s the last five gate now oh it’s the last five k’s of today

Before we find Bedford tonight so thank you so very much for coming along and this is a very slippery looking Corner don’t like the look of that yeah so we’re gonna find a little cabin and then go do some shopping and then have a maybe a couple of little little cold

Jars maybe a coffee and a piece of cake before we go shopping and then plan for tomorrow and then sacrifice some virgins to the gods for some better weather tomorrow and then we carry on to the troll stegan where we’re gonna be basically just doing nothing other than

That all day long that’s everything that we’ve got planned for tomorrow so very very much looking forward to that and as Ian was saying earlier on today has been an absolute belter yeah it started with rain yeah it started with cold but we still smashed on and did the riding in

The rain in the cold anyway which was great fun because if you’ve got the right gear it doesn’t matter and then the bleeding sun came out at the top of the mountain and the sights were utterly Splendid for us so what a day Norway just continues to deliver absolutely

Bloody love it these cutie little things nothing’s got one of them well this is how real adventurers have their dinner Ian has smashed together a gourmet delicious meal but because we’ve got no utensils we’re gonna be eating cabin made Bolognese underneath the watchful eye of these incredible mountains with this flashing waterfalls

Straight out of the saucepan with Norwegian beer out of a plastic cup Bring It On
