This was the 4th day of my bikepacking trip to the North Cape. I battled the head winds of Andøya in hope of catching the last ferry over to the island of Senja. Once there I started looking for the optimal wild camping spot. And I think I ight have found it in the end.

    1. Really enjoying this series Mike. From the full trip video to each single episode. Like how you have created a unique theme for each one. You are showing me a part of the world I will never have the opportunity to visit. Nice music too.👍

    2. Nice video! Lots of memories come back!
      I stayed at the camping in Andenes, which is a good place to have restday and do a whale safari. Unfortunately my safari was cancelled because of bad weather in the deep sea.
      Sonya was also one of my favourites of my cycle tour to Northcape. Weather was more pleasant and as Mike mentioned, no tourists.

    3. Enjoying the toilet reviews. If our (US) toilets left the toilet paper out like that, it would be stolen. Yes, you do have a knack for finding nice camping spots.

      I am watching this as it is snowing here this morning. 😐

    4. Yes Mike, I think you are the master of perfect campsite hunting, although Norway and Sweden all looks perfect to me. Hope to make it there for a cycle tour someday.
      Thanks Mike and ATB.

    5. Mike hi!! Excellent video! It is like a documentary, with really nice shots. Very entertaining and inspiring! When ever I see your videos I just want to go out and ride my bike! Thanks! Pavlos.

    6. Great effort was made to make this video enjoyable. Thank you for creating it. I can imagine how challenging and satisfying it must have been to cycle in Norway.

    7. 0:09 the old road goes up to the saddle between the peaks on the left and the right, I arrived from the ferry cycled around the bay and up the hill (the bridge and the tunnel hadn't been built yet). Soaking and cold from a lot of rain, I saw there was a flat space I gave up on the day and put up my tent, feeling a bit deflated.
      The next morning the sky was blue and i could see where I was, such a great view ( same as at 14:40 but from higher elevation).
      When I pitched the tent I had no idea because of the rain and clouds.

    8. I am really enjoying these videos, they are super interesting, and those toilets just stunning, I traveled a lot and often could not find a single toilet, and what you showed is just amazing, clean, warmed it's a dream And you find really beautiful campspots, even the last one you were not alone it was a super place Like I said before, you make me really wanting to go and see for myself

    9. This is great Mike, Norway is on the list now too 😊 Thanks a lot for these videos. By the way, ever wonder about an adventure in Canada? You will love the Gaspésie peninsula tour in particular

    10. Brilliant video. A mate and I cycled Oslo -> Helsinki and did it with zero planning (bar one ferry crossing booked in advance) and hammocks, was an unbelievable amount of fun

    11. I don’t know if you are the master of finding wild camping spots, what I know is that Norway and specially Lofoten and Senja have so many beautiful wild camping spots, the best wild camping I have ever experienced in my life. Cheers Mike, thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

    12. Hi! I'm so glad that i've met your channel! I'm going to visit Sweden this summer during my first big bike travel. I plan to start from Karlshamn. Would you mind making a video and tell us ab the best bikebroutes of Sweden or about 'trans-sweden' route which will show to the bike tourists the best of Sweden?

    13. So good vlog you do mike. Pro..thanks so much. Allso you have so much knowlege of the place, not just on land but allso the water..lucky us we live so near all this nice places

    14. Mike, you really put out excellent and quality videos. I appreciate all the work you put into providing history, various camera angles of your ride, awesome scenery, background music, etc. Thank you!!
