Cycled from Bergen to Vossevangen this year. It was a unplanned cycle as the bike turned up late, so instead of heading north to Alesund I had to change the route because of the extra cost incurred. But it`s a pretty stunning cycle all the same. I arrived in Bergen on the 1st June, I was supposed to leave on the 3rd, but never left until the 6th. On a cycle tour you really need to hit the road running and any delays really can knock you. The camera angle isn’t as good as it should have been on the 1st two days but I soon sorted it as soon as my head had cleared. I start the video with a intro that shows what`s coming up then give you a bit of my time in Bergen. Then the cycling begins, so give it time to kick in, or move it on if that’s not your scene. I took a drone with me and got some really good shots until carrying on the luck from hitting Bergen that went into a river!! My own fault but what a sore one that was!! But you cannot kill a stunning cycle with some bad luck. The weather in this part of Norway in June is hit and miss, so a couple of days were spent in a tent waiting for some heavy rain to move on, but as soon as it passed Norway becomes such a beautiful country to cycle with a lot of challenges, but worth the effort, it really is. In the video I mention the guy who drew me maps, but on the 1st day just before setting up camp I was speaking to a local female cyclists who when she met me I was a bit shell shocked and was struggling a bit, she gave me her water and told me about the garage up ahead thanks appreciated. This part of Norway is stunning the whole area anywhere near Bergen you can stick a pin in a map and you will have a great cycle and some stunning scenery. The day I lost my drone I was at Norheimsund, like I said it was a hard blow, but later on that evening I cycled along the Hardanger Fjord in what felt like a early Spring evening rather than a Summer one. It was just so beautiful, with the cool fresh air and the long evening, it soon lifted my spirits. But that’s Norway for you, makes you work for your rewards, It can put you through the ringer…But it was worth it…..
