It’s as well I changed my mind about coming with you. The van is still in pieces.
Never the less, I wish everyone a safe and enjoyable trip.
But don’t enjoy it too much

Here’s to a great trip, wish I could have been with you, I have relatives scattered around Norway so if you are looking for a bit of local information feel free to ask.

Judging by our unfortunately short trip to Bavaria last year, I know you will all have a great time.
Safe journey everyone, and happy birthday to Andy when you get there.

Have a fabulous trip. Scandinavia is on our wish list, I'll be following your trip with interest.

I fairly recently viewed Martin Compstom Norwegian Fling on BBC

Martin Compston's Norwegian Fling

Best buds Martin Compston and Phil MacHugh are back on the road enjoying a fling in the fjords. They visit Scotland's Scandi neighbour for death metal, reindeer, vikings and more.

Norway looks stunning to tour, I’m sure you will all have a great adventure.

This might be of interest to the Norwegian Road Trippers?

Episode One - so the start of his Solo trip to Norway just a couple of months ago, with a daily update as he makes his travels.

His trip will be over now so complete trip viewable. Might give a few extra or new ideas?

I quite like his roadtrip videos and bought some of his guide books on Scotland (including the Hebrides and NC500 ones)

As van vids go, I found him to be quite pleasant to listen to.

Have a great trip y’all and stay safe.
See you all in a couple of weeks!

It’s a shame you aren’t there now near Alesund to see this….. Slinningsbalet bonfire

Slinningsbålet bonfire in Ålesund

One of the most famous and tallest bonfires in the world is lit every year in Ålesund on the Saturday closest to midsummer or Saint John’s Eve (23 June).

Initially he bugged me, but then I got used to the Northern B******

(however, I will say he has a totally wrong and bad attitude to cats

)

On this day last year we crossed the artic circle whilst in Sweden on the way to Nordkap, would love to be there again this year but circumstances conspired against us.
