Norway

Post by qcnr »

Just watched this, which I really enjoyed. I live near Lysebotn and this is the first time I have
seen it to be made out as spectacular as it is. So if anyone here is near Stavanger, give me a
shout and I can help out with route planning and general advice about Norway. Only got a flat
so unfortunately no spare room. But have a patch of grass, or there is a hotel 150m down the road :D

Just thought I would update my status. If anyone is planning a trip to Norway, then just get in touch.
I live near Stavanger next to the sea. Have a spare room, garage and garden for the die hard campers.
Could even put the kettle on :D

In my 45 years of bike adventures, my 2016 trip up to the NordKapp was by far the best. I just love Norway. Hoping to return one day before I have to hang up my leathers. It really is a must do biking adventure.

You can also now get a ferry from Eemshaven to Kristiansand. Saving a massive boring slog up to the tip of Denmark
for a ferry to Norway.

To the OP, yes Norway is stunning place for sure and the people are great but I've been here about a week with work and I am gobsmacked totally about the price of everything. Its so so SO expensive to the point of unbelievable, simple grocery goods are between 3 and 4 times the price of items in the UK...!!! I've walked out of several stores in disgust and disbelief... having moaned on like a true Brit does, I would still love to do the Nordkapp run some day on a forced low budget style..

Knowing just how expensive things were in Norway, I camped the whole trip and filled one of my panniers with 10 days of food and drink supplies. I think I only actually bought a very expensive roll and an apple. It can be done on a budget. Low speed limits there, so good mpg.
PS. Good way to lose weight. No alcohol or snacks for a fortnight. I lost 10lbs.
