So, I'm planning a trip to Norway with my brother, he wanted to go to Schotland, I want to go to Norway. Norway it is :mrgreen:
Few issues, we leave on 6 June, and need to be back on 15 June. So that's only ten days of riding.
Second issue, first day is gonna be a very long haul from Belgium towards Hirtshals to catch the 20h45 ferry leaving for Kristiansand. It's 1100km's of boring motorway, and nothing can go wrong or we won't make it :?
Anyway, here is the route I have in mind, I've made it day by day. Some days look very long, but I've heard you can do long distances in Norway if you start early enough.
Day 1, from Kristiansand to Lysebotn.

Day 2, from Lysebotn to Osavegen.

Day 3, from Osavegen to Krakenes lighthouse.

Day 4, from Krakenes to Kristiansund.
https://maps.google.be/maps?saddr=K...ist&mra=dpe&mrsp=5&sz=9&via=1,2,3,4,5&t=m&z=8
Day 5, from Kristiansund to Vagamo.
https://maps.google.be/maps?saddr=K...&mra=dpe&mrsp=6&sz=13&via=1,2,3,4,5,6&t=m&z=8
Day 6, from Vagamo heading South, don't know yet where we'll end up that evening.

Day 7, further South along the coast line towards Gothenburg.
https://maps.google.be/maps?saddr=M...=13&via=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13&t=m&z=8
Day 8, homewards.

I know this looks okay when everything is picture perfect, and I know if the weather works against us, I will need to improvise, but what are the opinions on this so far?
Grtz, Philip!
