I've visited Norway last year and want to go back again. I'm from Canada and this country is beautiful, but I think Norway is more beautiful. I've hiked Trollstigen and Preikestolen Rock when I was there. Also drove through the Atlantic Ocean road. Enjoy Norway!

Your Norway videos have shown a great side of True Norway. Amazing work!

We are visiting family in Norway in June (we are in Norway 2-3 times each year). Your videos have given us some new traveling ideas and we will do a road trip this time; Bergen- Stavanger- Kristiansand- Odda - Bergen. Thank you Gareth & Steve for sharing your journey.

Lofoten is best in the summer. So many people from different places in Norway go there for the summer and a lot of backpackers. My favorite place to be in the world during the summer!

Started watching your videos like an hour ago, and all of a sudden there is a new one. Love it!

We’re visiting Norway next year for the first time and this series has been so exciting to watch. We keep extending our plans so we can see more and more of the country. We’ll come for the cinnamon buns but will leave the surfing to those 40 years younger. Thanks for this great series....fantastic!

No. Wheel house would be more correct. There is only a bridge on big vessels, but not on small ones (like the small fishing boats). But all boats no matter the size can have a "styrhus".

Steering house is an alternative translation.

Surfing in winter there sure would be interesting and its always the way the day you want to play the rain keeps it away . Now at least you drowned your sorrows with some good Irish medicine and its better to be alive to fish another day then go out in rough conditions.
