Indonesia Volcano Hiking VIDEO

My latest experiment in video editing is software called Audio Sound Design. 

Not inexpensive, but I did get 50% off a perpetual license during Black Friday. 

Audio Design Desk comes with 70,000+ royalty free sounds, loops and music cues. 

Adding them to your video is a breeze.  All audio in this short edit of stock video was added with the software.

Hiking Segla & Hesten, Arctic Norway

Trip report by BestHike editor Rick McCharles

Click PLAY or watch get a glimpse on YouTube.

I climbed famed Segla in 2022.

In 2023, returned and climbed Hesten. Set up my tent.

 5.3-km out-and-back.

Wait on the weather. You want the summit of Segla to be visible.

The best views of Segla are from Hesten.

There are a couple of trails up and down Heston. Some require scrambling.

Best months are June through September.

The views are spectacular. This is definitely one of the very best hikes in Norway.

Looks good?

First you need to get to Senja Island in remote Arctic Norway. 😀

Cycling / Hiking Norway 2023

by BestHike editor Rick McCharles

Summers 2022 and 2023 I cycled and hiked the west coast of Norway.

Mostly on the Eurovelo 1. Perhaps half of the Norway section.

On my personal website, I posted 3 trip reports and VIDEOS. Cycling is a great (and inexpensive) way to get to the wonderful hikes in Norway. 😀

Wild camping is free by law almost everywhere in Norway.
