Norway Adventures...............

[kiter]

Probably wont sleep tonight as pretty excited, head off tomorrow for 5 weeks in Norway, plan is to try and get all the way up to Tromso, with about 2 weeks in the Lofoten Islands en route. Van all packed and tin tent hitched so ready to roll first thing tomorrow am. Scary how much 'stuff ' is in the back of the van between bikes, inflatable kayak and paragliders, good job its a LWB. Will try and post pics/updates as we go.

If I'm correct, its a legal requirement to keep us informed of all your movements (oooeer!) & post photos. Failure to do so may result in you being called before the T6 tribunal.....Enjoy

No problem mate, maybe not all movements though. Hopefully the wifi hotpsot that's in the van will allow us to post plenty pics whilst on the go, apologies in advance if there are too many...…...

Its my parents 320, must admit I thought they were totally bonkers buying a caravan at their age (and at the price they paid for it) but its actually pretty neat and sits behind the T6 really well, most of the time you don't know its there.

Will do

Wow, jealous much. Have a great time, looking forward to reading and seeing the journal entries.
That trip has been on my to do list since I was lucky enough to be in Tromso working in 2017. Also made it up to Hammerfest but by air. There are some seriously remote places up there even by the standards of the Highlands.
Let us know how the roads are?

Wee update finally in Norway, journey pretty good apart from horrendous hold ups driving through Germany, 3 hours to do 70 odd miles. This is us waiting for the ferry from hirtshals to larvik. First night is dalen, the home of Telemark skiing. Van has coped brilliant so far, some pretty scary hairpins this evening. Second pic is a changing room for swimmers on the lake at dalen.

Some butt clenching hairpins today but made it one piece. Now in flam, absolutely stunning scenery all day. New experience never driven in so many tunnels, longest one so far 11.7km and two of them had roundabouts on the way through, damn clever buggers these Norwegians. Makes you realise what crap infrastructure we have in the UK. Few more pics from today.

Raining here too, really is a stunning country pics don't do it justice.

Those blue lights have made your T6 look like a Transit and the Samsonite suitcase you were towing is completely invisible!

Haha..... Good one. Have to say the wee tin tent has been great so far.
