In this episode of We Are Adventure Riders, we arrive in ALBANIA!
After the first nights camp on the shore of Lake Shkodër and an interesting encounter with a local shepherd (8am moonshine anyone..?!), we rode up into the Albanian Alps to the town of Theth for some hiking. We hiked towards Valbone, but stopped at the half way point where there is the most incredible viewpoint at the very top of a peak, giving 360 views of the stunning mountains of Northern Albania!.
Upon leaving Theth, we took a different “road” back down to Shkoder which was off road all the way and we later learned was actually part of the Trans Euro Trail (TET)! Riding the TET 2up with a fully loaded 1200GSA was very challenging, but we really worked as a team and had the best day ever – made some new riding friends, Marc and Lisa from Germany, who we rode with all day and found out they are also heading to Central Asia around the same time as us! Expect to see more of them in future videos!
Join us next time as the adventure continues in Albania, but takes a turn for the worse as Lucie ends up in an ambulance…!!

Great video and adventure :). Waiting for more 🙂
Well done you two. I will definitely be watching your updates and enjoying your adventures. Very inspiring 👍
Well done! Let’s see what else you have up your sleeve 💪💪
Loving your journey so far… I did some two up TET in the in UK on a GS and it’s not easy. Respect. I will head East in years time.
This is amazing!!🔥✨
You make some amazing films from your trip. I love the style and you guys are extremely good at editing. Keep up this quality and your channel will grow quickly. It is extremely difficult to build a youtube channel, I have been posting videos for 4 years, without any great success. I enjoy making films so I do it as a nice hobby. I quickly became a fan and subscriber. Drive safely. Greetings Kingofarctic
Nice video. Love how you did the music. Well done. You'll get more comfortable on the bike the more you ride. It looks pretty heavy with all the gear and a passenger.
I'd defo recommend "cool covers" seat covers guys, small investment, twice as comfy as extortionate aftermarket seats and really do keep your behind cooler !!! 😀
We were taken to an underground museum in the main square of Tirana showing the old secret police memorabilia! Sorry about your spill…the tarmac used looks like the Greek stuff with added concrete to stop it flowing the heat. When it rains it turns to soap….
Kudos that you approached the Theth-Offroad-Section with two persons on the bike! I tried one offroad section of 10km in Zakopane, Poland with a pillion passenger and found it very hard to do.
fantastic work smashing that road on a big bike, 2 up! if you seen some serious 4wd enthusiasts on that road then this is defo the same one i took last year, and at the start, had some dudes on enduro kms laugh at me (Africa twin) saying there's no chance. smashed it and glad you guys did too!!!

Why do western travelers always has the arrogance to neg about animals, poverty or trash? Is their country, culture and their customs. 🤦🏾♂ 🤷🏾♂
First – respect for driving there with passenger – awesome skills. Second – where was that first camp with sheeps ? i aa going to do TET albania in June.
