Norway

Ello ello it’s me again…the dirty vanlife living LOTR obsessed self-proclaimed wizard Jack Mac. I’m finally updating my site after a twelve month content drought and what better place to start than my 8000 mile/4month road trip across Norway/Sweden. I’ve wanted to explore Scandinavia for years and decided that in 2018 I’d make it happen. Thus, that spring I revisited my corporate past and was soon back on the circuit offering deviant sexual favours for lollipops and spare change. The next step was to recruit some ship mates; goblins with a criminal record so long they’ve been living underground since Roman times, a taste for horrendous discomfort and a humour so black it makes Satan blush. It didn’t take long to ring around my closest friends. Lastly I needed a ship ready to hit the high seas and thankfully I had just the Galleon…HMS Rust Bucket ( …because the Syncro’s probably more reliable on the f**king sea ). The compass was set, the van loaded and a summer of adventures lay ahead. At this point I’ll stop my ramblings and let my photos and Youtube series share 8000 miles of piracy. Enjoy.

This is the first episode sharing my adventures from Norway as I hike, bike & kayak my way up Norway. In this first instalment I'm joined by three of my best mates as we cover the first 2700 miles.

' Kayaking Valhalla ' is the fifth episode in my vanlife series and the second video documenting my 2.5 month/8000 mile road trip across Scandinavia. In this episode I experience my first ( of many ) mechanical demons and meet up with one of my kayaking/photography heroes. Enjoy.

So here it is, the next instalment of Ancient Syncrology. In this episode I continue to battle mechanical demons as I make my way towards the Artic Circle. I also meet meet up with Tomasz Furmanek and the gang for another epic kayaking trip and I prepare for the first of my bikepacking adventures.

In this episode Tomasz Furmanek ( www.furmanek.com ) rescues me from the mechanic for some kayaking/bikepacking adventures before I head north to Lofoten.

In this final episode of 2018 I explore Lofoten in Norway before a 2500 mile road trip back to the UK via Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and France. As always expect poor editing, a shocking lack of narrative and general nonsensical bull****. Enjoy.

The past 5 years I’ve been working towards a grand plan and this road trip was a watershed moment in a much mucccch bigger journey. Stay. Tuned.
