Marek from MDrives has released the first video.

mjn77 · 08-19-2024, 03:36 PM

A pretty boring video, but this is the Ryfylke Tunnel. The longest and deepest subsea tunnel in the world. (Change video setting to HD).

mjn77 · 08-19-2024, 03:52 PM

Some of the stunning scenery of our drive from Solbakk to Sauda. (Change video setting to HD).

mjn77 · 08-23-2024, 09:21 AM

The first part from Marek at MDrives

mjn77 · 08-28-2024, 03:09 AM

Change video settings to 4k for best result.

snowbimmer · 08-28-2024, 12:37 PM

That video is just effing awesome. The rain creates a lot of atmosphere in such a stark landscape. So cool.

Edit: By the way, your car sounds really good. Sometimes I really miss my old manuals.

mjn77 · 08-28-2024, 01:26 PM

The road out of Sauda.

Dégoûté · 08-28-2024, 01:31 PM

Marek needs to upload the rest of his videos!

mjn77 · 08-28-2024, 01:36 PM

I was chatting to him about his videos whilst we were on this trip and each video takes around 15 hours of editing!! And he fits this in between his regular job and life, etc.

mjn77 · 08-28-2024, 01:42 PM

Driving the very narrow Roldalsfjellet Scenic Road from Horda to Skare.

mjn77 · 08-28-2024, 03:58 PM

The drive along Hardangerfjord towards Eidfjord.

mjn77 · 08-28-2024, 04:19 PM

The drive from Eidfjord to Maurset along the 7 road, taking in the Mabotunnel.

Sure was! Longest trip i’ve ever done. Thankfully, next year, we’ll be back to our usual 2700-3000 mile length.

The only problem with Norway, is the amount of time it takes to get there from the UK. From my house it is 900 miles away and takes around 2 days driving and using ferries.

Wow, wow, wow. Looking forward to the next one.

(I get google maps out and follow along)

mjn77 · 09-08-2024, 12:50 AM

If Marek keeps releasing one video for each day we were away and continues to release one a week, he’ll keep us entertained until Christmas

tracer bullet · 09-09-2024, 01:12 PM

Wow, just... wow. Thanks for the pictures, videos, and narration! What an epic trip.
