Valdresflye and home, summer ride 2

Posted on December 26, 2019December 28, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Valdresflye is a “household name” in Norway, a name for both a road or route as well as a mountain plateau. It was also a part of my return route back to Oslo. Sunday morning the return began. The lingering high pressure produced absolute cloudless sky and perfect conditions for the first part of the…read more>>

Trollstigen & Geiranger, summer ride 2

Posted on December 15, 2019December 15, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Trollstigen, a serpentine mountain road and pass in Møre og Romsdal county was the first target of the day. Followed by Geiranger and Geirangerfjorden. Trollstigen is in Rauma Municipality, Møre og Romsdal county.  If you come from the south, along E136 and Rauma river, it’s hard to miss. More about that later. On gravel and…read more>>

The long way home, with detours

Posted on December 4, 2019December 5, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

The long way home, that was our plan. Waking up on Sunday the weather was gorgeous. So we intended to make the most out of the day.  Right after breakfast we packed up and left Straand hotel in Vrådal. Before getting on, a few things about the/our hotel. It’s pretty good, but in my opinion,…read more>>

Lysebotn in western Norway, day 1&2

Posted on December 1, 2019December 4, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Lysebotn is a name that might not mean anything to lots of people. If you are a motorcycle rider, and have been in Norway, Lysebotn might ring a bell. If not, then you might have missed something worth going back to Norway to experience. Going west Friday July 12th the course was set for Vrådal,…read more>>

Folkestone & folly, 2019 Summer adventure, day 12

Posted on October 7, 2019October 8, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Folkestone was my next destination. An overnight stay, then southeast into & through France. Didn’t happen, but mistakes & shit certainly happened! Before going to Folkestone, and my (almost) last miles on British soil, I had decided to ride into Oxford. Over the course of the past 4 decades I’ve been in England more times…read more>>

Wales, 2019 Summer adventure, day 10

Posted on September 29, 2019September 30, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Wales was my next goal. I had seen a lot pictures, read a lot about Wales, the beauty of the landscape.  Finally it was my turn to experience the region. Left Liverpool in the morning, at first it looked like the weather was clearing up, but my hope quickly waned. Soon enough it started to…read more>>

Westward, 2019 Summer adventure, day 7-9

Posted on September 19, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Westward was the next plan. From Doncaster on small roads, for a while, to Liverpool where I was going to spend some days with friends. The first half of the leg I was escorted by Dave and Mick. They were up for a ride, it was Saturday and excellent weather. I should mention they’ve done…read more>>

Karlovy Vary – 2018 Summer adventure (Part 14)

Posted on January 13, 2019January 26, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Karlovy Vary, aka Karlsbad in German, might not be the most beautiful or interesting city in Europe. But it does have qualities, and is worth a visit. Karlovy Vary has both a long and interesting history. A spa town of old but that’s far from all worth mentioning. Best to leave the history lesson to…read more>>

Border crossing – 2018 Summer adventure (Part 12)

Posted on December 1, 2018December 30, 2018 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

A border was to be crossed, “plan” was to ride into Czech Republic and continue north.  Didn’t go as “planned”, possibly because the “plan” was non-existent. Danube river Left the hotel and Sankt Ulrich bei Steyr not too early in the morning. Past Steyr I took a eastern course, and got back on small-ways, with…read more>>

Neresheim & south – 2018 Summer adventure (Part 7)

Posted on September 1, 2018April 1, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Neresheim I had never heard about, before June 30th 2018. After the encounter I’ll never forget that name. Might make stop there again, one day in the future. Farewell to Rothenburg It had been a short but pleasant stay. Walked through parts on foot, but there’s lots I never got to see. Definitely one of…read more>>
