Sweden/Norway eight day backpack Sept 2019..Videos




I,ve put all the videos in one place,for easy access.If you make sure to click on the "cog wheel" and select HD or at least 720 they sure off the landscape much better,viewed on a bigger screen helps too.Music that's free to use is now a bit of a nightmare,so whats used now isn't always my best choice but the best I couyld settle for  after listening to loads of naff stuff.
Thanks for looking ill start a trip report with words and pics soon
