And on the seventh day, Norway said “Let there be rain!”. And lo, it rained and lo, it was wet…
I guess our good luck couldn’t last for the whole trip now could it!
But despite the rain and thanks to good gear and a chipper attitude, we left Gudbrandsjuvet Camping and headed over the Trollstigen once more (you’ll have to take my word for it as there wasn’t much of it to be seen!) in the direction of the Atlantic Road, or as the locals call it, Atlanterhavsveien.
But will it ever stop raining? Will Ian be happy with his Pirelli Angel GT’s in this downpour? Will we ‘accidentally’ find ourselves off-roading again?
All these questions and more will be answered in this video!

Top quality as always Andy. Cinematography, editing, production all very hi quality. You are wasted. Thanks for sharing another banger
Ian still doing his best R2D2 impressions 😁😁
Nice weather in Norway was invented in 2017 and takes a lot to implement, so it's not as widespread when you get further north.
Looks like a great ride despite the rain. If anything it makes things more genuine and "trollsk" as Norwegians sometimes say.
I need to plan such a trip when I have the funds….
I hope you got a refund from the weather agency!
thats Norway for you…. wet as an otter's pocket 🤣 been meaning to ask…… what heated gloves are those and are they "waterproof" ??
I'd be curious to hear your review on the Rukka gear? How many hours of rain did you ride in and how waterproof was the gear?
The z1000sx I had and progressed to the cb1000r. Love it
yet more excellent videoincracies!!! great drone footage. understand the buttock clenching nature! well done.
Fantastic!! what happened with the engine light then?
Zusammen zu reisen macht einfach nur Spaß, da ist auch das Wetter egal. 👍
How's the KTM?
Very scenic when the juice stopped falling, Andy.
The drone footage was superb, and I even had a little chuckle at the Eric Morecambe quote.
WooHooo! Been waiting for this 🙂
Riding in the rain was never so much fun…. mostly because I was watching you doing it. The drone footage in the gorge was….. must resist obvious wordplay…. must res ist… wonderful, really special. Also, the orchestral soundtrack… mmmmmmm. I think your videos are just getting better and betterer.
time for teaaaaa
Bugger me! One wrong move of the drone control and you'd have a 4 prop submarine, very brave. Great views when it cleared up, I was getting a bit of a weirdsville vibe in some of those places. Excellent drone 0.3048 metreage ( that's metric, that is) Brilliant vid as always, Andy.🇬🇧🙂
🤩
Loved that Andy. Even in the rain, a beautiful looking vid!!
Great footage of the gorge! One might call it gorgeous footage 😅
Well done, thanks for taking the time to edit another vid. Before bashing around Norway again.
Drone footage and humour spot on
Great fun and inspiring as always Andy. Pingu was on top form!
Love the commentary banter, is that round thing with an arrow a nav system thingy
Excellent as always, cheers
I can see why you bought the KTM. It's going to suit you perfectly.
Kawasaki complains about the rain. Funny
Andy: what shall I say . . . . nicely very bad extraordinary wet eeehh . . . . trip I`ll say – but impressive camera & video work – 1 like mate
Yet another brilliant video🎉
Norway looks stunning compared to Denmark!
Hi Andy,
**Loving this series👍**
I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 and as you can imagine it’s more than difficult to get to the Trollstigen.
We’ve been there twice in 23 years…the first visit the road was closed…the second visit a complete white out with fog. Apparently it’s very scenic if you time it right…maybe next time.
As I mentioned at the beginning….Fantastic series, wonderful footage, entertaining commentary 👍.
As usual you’ve nailed it again.
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
💛💙
Many thanks for another great video.
Quality dronage at the beginning
Yeah, chucking it down with rain when I did the Atlantic Road, still the views were stunning and skin is waterproof
Awesome adventure chap's great drone footage Andy
Loving the series. It is interesting how Ian sounds like the adults in the Peanuts cartoons in other videos and like R2-D2 in this one. Either way I think it is funnier than knowing what he is actually saying.
We were there in June. Bud was shut! Nothing opened until the 15th across a lot of Norway. There was a WW2 bunker system at the Maritime Museum(closed) and a section of Anchor from that cruise ship that nearly got stuck on the rocks. The Atlantic way was underwhelming given how much publicity it gets. We had overshot the main bridge, going eastwards, before we realised that was it. Swung round in that petrol station and went back to look again.
There are so many much more impressive erections as you say.
Runa, "off she goes" finally quit from all the bad weather she has had continually. When you ride with someone else you have support to keep going. But I hate the rain and the cold. She just finished going through her country of Norway and going into Sweden. She just gave up yesterday and going home. So sad. By herself. 😞 What, no stupid music video and no talking. My kind of videos. Thanks.
I did not know you were riding with R2D2!!! In your helmet com's, his voice sounds just like stars wars. So funny. 😁had the video stopped while typing that and as soon as I resumed at 7:00 you said… "use the force luke" like how freaky is that? I write about R2D2 and then you say use the force Luke. Something is really strange. I think I've watched this route about 5 times with different riders and those water falls and the switchback roads. Apparently you know my Jesus. Your always saying his name. I mean, you never say Buddha any other false god. One of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Lots of talking and little music and all natural sounds. Keep it up. thanks. 🙂
Shared this vid on my Facebook just now. You videos did help inspire me and my husband to do a Norway tour, on a Honda Rebel 1100 and a Harley Softtail, in the end om July and in the beginning of August, the worst touristy season. Rain and Sun- we will do another one in 2024.
Nothing more fun then watching a couple of guys having fun ( with cloths on… ). Nice videos Andy! I hope to ride to kirkenes next year, but my bike is currently at the dealer with gearbox issues
Beautiful country even in rainy weather 🌧️☔❤️
