No worries, so far it's been a fantastic trip. Just a bit painful in the wallet when you go shopping....... Defo recommended though.
Great pics, please keep em coming.
Any midges??
Yeah for sure, some bits you could be on the west coast. Big difference is far better infrastructure, parking, toilets, bins and camp sites, puts us to shame.Brilliant thanks
Will do, only one night so far and that was on the Atlantic road so not been an issue
I worked out of Norway for years, for the most part it’s a beautiful unspoiled wilderness which is hard to match. Good quality outdoor clothing and mosquito protection is a must.
If you have a limited budget take as much food and drink as you can fit in the van as everything is very expensive.
Be aware of the daylight hours available, midsummer in the north is permanently light and likewise almost permanently dark in the winter.

What's the temperature like? Looks an epic trip and great adventure that you'll remember forever.
From my experience the mosquitos are worse than in Scotland from May to August, in extreme cases use a wide brim hat with a net and a high DEET skin product like Autan.
They’ll even eat your face when riding a motorbike! Protection is cheap and takes up very little space.
Winter temperatures in the shade down to -23 deg C, summer temperatures in the North in permanent summer daylight can hit the mid 30’s.

So the van got a bit of a rest today and it was bike and a bit of a hike, worth it for the views. It is a beautiful evening here so plan is a quick dip in the sea, just so I can say I've swum in the sea above the artic circle, won't be any pics as won't be a pretty sight.......
Norway and lofoten just keep giving, superb day again, hike this morning and then stopped off at this spot for a wee bit of fishing off the rocks on the way back to campsite. 20 minutes later had these bad boys caught Within half an hour they were in the smoker and were damn tasty. Cheapest supper we've had since we got here........

Just ace mate, this is such a stunning country. Off out to see if I can catch some fish for tonight's supper. Give you a shout when we get back in a few weeks time.
