Mostly done around the island of Vestvagoya. Visited the north west coast, in particular Utakliev, Unstad, Kvaines, Vik, Grimsoy.
Beach next to highway 826 on way to Utakliev
Great little gravel road which went from highway 826 just before the tunnel to Utikliev and up and over to highway 825. It went past a lake at the top and the road was called Vikveien?
Going over to Unstad and Mayervol, plenty of jagged peaks along the fiords.
Down to the south and Stamsund, then along the coastal roads 817,815 &816 to Henningsvaer. Two single lane high arched brideges just before Henningsvaer
This is the Hostel in Stamsund
View along the 815 - you eventually follow the coast around to the foot of those peaks!
Henningsvaer
Pop into Kablevag and find a supermarket - stock up on some beer & bread rolls for later. Then it's into Svolvaer to the statoil petrol station to top up the bike and top up me with free coffee.
At the statoil, meet a Dutch biker whilst having a drink and amongst other things he tags on for the ride to Grimsoy, Vik, kvaines
Bridge on E10 just at the turn off for Grimsoy/Vik.
As it turns out, the Dutchman, Dik, is on a 1994 k100 which he's ridden to Egypt and back on.
Gravel road near Vik.
Dik is staying at a hotel in Leknes which I pass on the way back to Ballstad, so we have a beer and I go on my way.
In all a really good day. The out of the way places always have the best views.
