Summer 2017 – A Two Part Bike Packing Trip –
Filmed on a GoPro Hero4 Session, Edited on iMovie.
Starting in Bilbao we traveled by bike through San Sebastian into France, from the boarder we then headed East across the Pyrenees summiting 18 mountains (A total of 20,000 meters ascent!) whilst crisscrossing the French / Spanish boarder to la Vella, Andorra. From here we changed direction and travelled south to our final destination. After 1000km and 11 days of riding we arrived in Barcelona, in time for our flight to Oslo and the next part of the journey!
For the second part of our journey we flew from Barcelona to Oslo and then the overnight train to meet up with Richie in Trondheim. From here we cycled northeast staying mainly on two roads the E6 and 17. First to Bodø (800km) then over by ferry to the Lofoten Islands up to Andenes before our penultimate ferry crossing heading towards Tromsø. Arriving after 10 days, 1300km, 11 ferries and with 2 spare days to explore Tromsø.
