Norway By Bike #4 – Fjord Mirrors & Treelined Twisties!

Part 4.

The day‘s travels begin in Røldal with sun on our faces and adventure in our hearts.
Over the stunning Røldalsfjellet Turistveg we discover just how empty Norway can be at 9:30 on a Sunday Morning. Only the sheep to bother us!

We then passed through Odda, rode alongside the Sørfjorden, crossed the Hardangerbrua, saw countless waterfalls on the way to the serpentines of Ulvik, crossed the Sognefjord and met some locals, all before climbing to the top of Gaularfjellet. WHAT a day!!

I’m near there you can see where you physically are just wondering where you were where you met her physically were oh just sat on my neckers should we have it then a bit closer a bit close oh bloody oh look at the timing of that and the beautiful sights start straight

Away as we leave the beautiful town that brought us all of the enjoyable childhood stories roll doll so thanks to Matilda thanks to the twits The BFG pulling the beers on the bar it was a wonderful stay yeah the cabin was Bloody brilliant actually for 75 Euros 66 quid we had a private

Bathroom lovely kitchen oven cooker all this all the you need and then this view to start the day look at that look at that right then let’s let’s go and get these tires warm shall we Oh Hang on we’re already at the speed limit oh well oh look at this

Now it begins this is the main road heading all the way down this incredible looking fuel that’s absolutely stunning but we’re going to take a right up this way and head north to the guy rangafort eventually not today and then we’ll be coming back down this road or up this

Road rather in about a week in about a week we’re still going to be in Norway in a week’s time oh I love it right right turn right turn right turn it looks like it it looks dangerously like the hotel car park but apparently it’s a

Road as well so where do we go look at that sorry Bruce I don’t mean to take the piss but look at that Oh here we go now we’re having it [Applause] yeah it looks like we took a shortcut that wasn’t quite it wasn’t faster yeah that was stupid well done B-Line but it’s behind a caravan on the good bit nothing coming there is it hello again oh

We were supposed to go that way oh quick do a u-turn that’s going through the tunnel we want to take the country road sorry sorry yeah I think what no beds well me anyway yeah we want to see some hills and some altitude don’t we not this nonsense

Exactly if I want to go in the tunnel I can just go and sit in the garage and turn the lights off it’s a bit narrow as well isn’t it you barely get two donkeys up here Oh yeah that would be rubbish up here wouldn’t it if there’s a convoy like yesterday Oh yeah yeah you’ve got the the Armco branded boulders [Applause] well this is decidedly more balachna barish isn’t it but I think maybe a bit bigger and drier and sunnier because of the sticks in the side it makes it feel like a hill climb don’t worry about how deep the snow is going to be and we’ll be gone by then if

Not something’s gone horribly wrong but this would be great if you could guarantee that there was nothing going to come down the other way you could just properly give it the Pasty couldn’t you Look at this sheep scratching his ass on the pole it’s if you can scratch your ass on your pole it’s got something to show off about haven’t you so 9 30 in the morning is definitely the time to do this on a Sunday it’s got to be illegal or something isn’t it we’re

Breaking all the laws doing this I think you could hang a map of Norway up on the wall Chuck a dart at it and wherever it hits will be a good road oh there’s one charging for the road he’s desperately wanted to be in front

He charged up to block me and then very quickly changed his mind oh I don’t know my abilities are he’s a wildly mismatched oh more sheeps so that is one of them in the water already in bloody hell 13 degrees and he’s got his nips out on a stand-up paddling board at altitude

Yeah true the guy yesterday where we had a coffee in the teepee he said it gets down to -20 then it’s proper summer time for those Nutters isn’t it All the Red Socks are out out for a wander on the Wonder wagon look at the table laughs oh that’s gone wrong isn’t it you reckon it was a sheep’s ass oh you’re such a sheep’s ass oh there’s a slippery bit there I think it must have been another bit about the Sheep’s

Ass Blood yeah look at the snow through there that must be that that big snow-cut mountain range by otter that I showed you on the map yesterday That is absolutely unbelievable to the left Madness Yeah it’s not a small job is it to make something like this this is ridiculous but I wonder how old this road is maybe I’ll pop it up on the screen once I’ve done some research at home later Another one for mum was a bit of a rainbow there I hope that comes out on the camera Wow but isn’t it weird though like when you see mountain ranges like that in the Alps they’re all jaggy topped and peaky whereas that’s completely flat so this guesses maybe something to do with like you said if it was all covered in ice at some point

Oh that squeeze a bit big isn’t it to the right well I think we’ve left the summer side of Norway and now we’re into the winter side because that’s nippy well steady steady there’s traffic there The crazy thing is I never ever thought I’d be able to see Mountain Roads like they were in Austria last year with no traffic perfect weather but so far this has been pretty much exactly the same down there it could be a wild guess but I think we’re going through there so that’s

Going to be well nippy there you go there’s odder that that polish chat with the trailer told us about was it just me or did it seem like they didn’t have enough bikes for the amount of people that were there so maybe one of them was folded up in the trailer Look at that I was right brilliant right through the valley well if the rules are like that in Germany I would imagine it’s probably the same here but that’s irrelevant whether it makes any sense or whether it helps anybody it is the rules so it must be done that’s how Germany functions

You’re a Britain it you’re you’re out of the Wild West mate none of the rules apply to you first rule about Britain Club don’t talk about Britain Club oh look at this this is going to be waterfall to the right oh wow that’s immense It’s all over everywhere which means the cameras are going to be covered in it I bet you didn’t think you’re going to get your bell end polished every day did you all services in this trip I already polished your helmet in your Endo Bingo school wearer she

Always knows turn the cameras on after you’ve put your gloves on with less battery power faffing with the gloves although another toxic always put your right glove on first if you’re right-handed because then you’re more dexterous than your stupid sausage fingered left hand to put the right

Glove on touring tips 101 let’s go Thank you Water looks so weird it looks like thick and trickly Absolutely stunning Thank you Oh look at that there’s the hardanga Brewer the longest suspension bridge in Norway would you know apparently the 16th longest in the world was it the sixth longest in the world 1.3 kilometers long it is oh just just things that you know you know surprises what you remember from school

What you mean was it wasn’t it built after I left school you cheeky sort how would you think I am well bloody hell it looks like it just disappears into the mountain obviously there’s a tunnel otherwise it’ll be just people’s paying a soul and smashing into a wall Foreign Strange to see the little dead ferry port the bridge is obviously killed off still astonishing as well to see how little traffic’s gone past as we’ve been parked it’s been nothing hasn’t it like a couple of cars Well your pirelli’s obviously warm up quick then yeah we now have about another seven kilometers I think which is incredible to save another seven kilometers of this Lake this Fjord this sea whatever it is they didn’t taste the water to find out and then we head up by olvik

Have some proper crazy twisting us and head over to the other side to a different fjord so awesome as well that like around all of Como and Lake May Lake what is it all of the roads are just super slow speed limits aren’t they but here

National speed limit 50 miles an hour to be honest that is plenty I don’t I don’t regret the speed limits at all I don’t feel like it’s making us suffer I don’t seem to be any people anywhere it’s another thing that makes me think it’s the theme park because we booked

Everything so short notice they couldn’t get the actors in to play the villagers yeah so it’s goodbye to this Fjord and Otter and all of its amazing beautifulness over that side via some proper Wrigley varicose vein roads to the other side and another Fjord the fjords just keep on coming Like that it still makes me think back every single time to when I came off the versus in Austria and I still don’t fully understand why it happened [Applause] [Applause] Thank you There’s a place over there called spildo is that like a sports dildo a rubber wanker with a turbo but you absolutely as fast as possible must be old lady A lovely waterfall stock but ironic that there’s a waterfall there and it’s so cool and chilled and I’m absolutely melting I don’t know about you oh that stop it started off really cool but by the end of it it was absolutely red as wasn’t it oh that breezes delicious

Right UIC win get in my crevices get in them now so that’s over halfway now perfect spot for the lunchtime break at the uh was it was called the scares scares fearing Boston scales skillsville yeah I’ll put the name on the on the screen oh here we go sport mode activate

Here we go let’s see it get proper twisty now this Ridge and then down the other side again that’s going to be pretty much the theme of the whole trip to be honest yeah 50 there’s just not enough air is there it’s not enough suffocating I won’t complain though we were

Expecting rain from the start foreign oh wow oh look at that that’s amazing oh yeah yeah it must be yeah oh brilliant we’ll go in and get how are you for fuel because I think this is actually the last opportunity I’m gonna go here so I can lean towards

It except that’s diesel so that’s no good look at that Ian the Shop’s open oh what a delightful stop delicious it was if you have a word of advice for those coming to Norway on a Sunday or even all the time have a little bit of a look ahead to make sure

You see where the petrol stations are between you and where you stay in the night or where you want to stay the night because we found out that although we’re a hundred kilometers away from where we’re staying tonight this is the last place that’s open with a shop because we

Needed to get some supplies for tomorrow although ironically we didn’t get any supplies for tomorrow because they didn’t have any thing what we wanted but we could have got some milk just didn’t have any Weetabix there you go that’s life I think also regardlessly that’s the last place we can fill up

Before bedtime that’s not true there were more petrol stations in the ferry port but there we go better safe than sorry regardlessly is a real word I think you’ll find yeah it’s in there in the same section as uh unscrupulation all those up there with the grassy roofs

That is absolutely brilliant I love it I want a grassy thatch I’m going to talk to my doctor when I get home see if I can get one grafted on under there there’s the standard health insurance definitely it’s not going to be for free

Is it why’d you had to pay 40 euros for my ear in operation yeah 40 Euro excess on my 30 000 Euro operation can’t Grumble at that can you well that’s an even better deal a whole kidney for nothing yeah that’s a bit of a price isn’t it

Yeah yeah the materials were costly well so is this going to make it worthwhile Thank you [Applause] Thank you Thank you foreign [Applause] Foreign Probably get one of our bikes on our board to anawaska really only joking this is another fairy stop some just forgot to turn the sat nav on we’ve only got 60ks left so it’s gonna be uh there is a petrol station over there that we would have been all right

Oh well a little town quiet Village every day like the one before Another day another tunnel well another 20 tunnels 11 degrees now wow that’s colder than my ex-girlfriend’s heart as you know that’s not true I thought she was cold as ice and she did sacrifice the evil that’s absolutely dead isn’t it I hope you haven’t stopped the ferry because

There’s no business I mean we could go around but it’ll take us four days sadly we’ve missed the cutoff point to cancel the accommodation for tonight so we’re paying for that whatever yeah I think yeah camping with a couple of duvet covers and nothing else that

Would be a a niffy evening we’d have to be careful not to face each other or we cut each other in arms with our lightsaber nipples that would be the full test of the Rucker gear wouldn’t it if you can wear it like a sleeping bag to sleep in

But as far as I know the ferry goes to hello is the point over there and then the one we want to go is red drag pick or drag queen is over that end drag Vikings yeah there that’s what we want look drags Vic one two three

Question is how do we pay for it look what it is hello do you know how to pay for the ferry uh they will build you they take your register number that’s good then I already bought this on Monday yeah yeah so it’s not registered yet how’s your paint your paint on your

Engine what what about my paint is it any good yeah mine’s coming off okay the whole the oil pan is all stripped off and silver and the crazy thing is though that I had a before this I had a Yamaha FZ1 it was 14 years old the paint was

Like new okay and then yeah Honda have used cheese I think yeah maybe yeah they’ve used some of your brown cheese [Laughter] Foreign ER nice Bike by the way mate a drag stick is the place no it wasn’t drag biking Ian uh yeah had to go on the bike in front of me has actually seen some of the videos so that’s really awesome to meet somebody that actually watch some of the videos completely by random

So very very nice to meet you herga and you Kenneth at the back there on the mt-09 it turns out they’re actually riding the exact same route that we are and we’re dropping off a little bit sooner so if you’re going to tag along for a little bit a little bit

Of local escort is always very expensive although Ian’s getting a bit panicked now right put me knob down let’s have it Helga did actually tell us a little bit of a tale about speed limits and how they’re a bit lumpy here he got a 400 Euro fine recently for

Doing 180 Zone I think I might have to stick it into sport mode Ian I’ll see you there Thank you Thank you thank you Foreign foreign Foreign
