tour reports » 2017-2019: Five visits to Norway

I've been more or less everywhere from Oslo to the North Cape.

I highly recommend one or more visits.
Great winding well maintained roads and stunning views.
Nice and kind people.
I prefer to visit beginning of Summer (end of May or beginning of June) when the mountain roads just opened.
Yes, it'll rain often if unlucky, but that's part of the touring life.

A few pictures from my visits.

Yep I second that. Took a tour there a few years ago. Beautiful county, great people, lowest speed limits enforced by the best looking police I've ever seen (only got a warning), but lots of road to the north that are totally empty. More road tunnels including a round-about inside a mountain!!

Me too, Norway 2013 Oslo cruise ship (will concede the 90 minutes through to Stockholm must be one of the best ship arrival routes ever - beats venice ten time over) and since then 2014, 2016 2017 and 2018 on various bmw's.
Although it is 2000km from south west England to Kristiansand campsite in Norway and three full days travel each way it is well worth the effort.
Two lost years now, thanks covid, and all the new camping gear I bought sits in the garage. That Swedish Trangia 27 stuff is brilliant!

Last trip 2018 I avoided the 24km tunnel at Laerdal and took the old road 'over the top' and glad I did.
Stuck in on youtube if you can ignore the 'non musical/no commentary' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW4C-_NI...zTBNMfP&index=1
As far as busy roads? What are they?
Took a run out one day from Kilefjorden campsite, Evje and headed to Jossingfjord and travelling 2 hours I never caught up another slower vehicle or got overtaken once I sorted out the wobbly camera mount.

That alone is worth the time to get to Norway and every day you just see more reasons to stop and take more pictures.

I've been to Sweden and Norway, 2013 it was. The aim was to get to Nordcapp but we didn't get that far, too much rain north of the arctic circle.
We rode up through central Sweden to Kiruna then Abisko and over to Lofoten, ferry to Bodo then riding back down the Norway side. Camping mostly.
Loved it.
