Myy favorite things to do, boating, filming and hiking the mountains.
So with the "fun" theme, it was obvious that two or all of these elements had to be included.

Sadly I hardly filmed anything from the boating part of the adventure. Partly because of the rough seas we encountered, and partly because... incert a lame excuse for...
First hike was a known landmark for seamen, approaching the Norwegian west coast. The island and mountain Alden. It is known as "the Norwegian horse," due to the mountain's shape. The view from the 480 meter high summit, is spectacular.

After this, we went to a small town nearby, to hike a 533 meter high mountain. Gale force winds made it a big challenge to keep the camera steady enough to prevent seasickness, and most of the footage went into the dark archive, never to be seen again.

Everything is filmed handheld, and parts of it even with my phone, as it was easier to keep the phone steady in the wind.

Very nice. I really enjoyed the stream footage. I could sit and watch a stream in the woods for hours.

Hi Trond.
You deliver a great video where you combine boating and hiking.
Hiking is typical of Norway and so is boating.
I hope the ship tunnel through the peninsula Stadlandet will come soon, then you must come and visit :)
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, LeRoy. I agree, streams can be really nice and relaxing to watch.

Passing Stadt is on my bucket list. One day I'll take my boat for a trip to your area. :)
