On a side note, there's a few lessons I've learned along the way.
I've a radio app, VR Radio on my phone and it's proved invaluable. When you're just pottering around the room it's great to have your familiar stations and shows to listen to. I've the free version which means some rare pop up ads at worst. Great user friendly UI and coupled with a JBL Clip, your audio entertainment is sorted.
As a nav app, Calimoto has proven its worth. It has sent us down twisty back roads many times and we've come across sights and sounds we would have otherwise missed. One thing to note - it gobbles battery. With the phone plugged into my canbus USB adaptor the battery percantage breaks even. Unplug it and it plummets. If you pull over and unplug your phone to take it with you, make sure to close the app. It'll happily resume when you reopen it before your back rolling.
Oxford Mondial suits have been excellent. We've mostly been lucky weather wise, but we did get caught in a couple of downpours. Bone dry every time. Venting is top notch when the temps rise.
I brought an old Samsung tablet for our movie nights in. Along with the JBL Clip, it's able to deliver Prime shows pretty well. I'll invest in a decent tablet for next time though, it would make the clip editing, YouTube uploading and the trip report writing way easier.
We brought paper maps of Norway. Can't beat the daily review of our journey and the planning ahead of things to come with real maps. Circle the places you've stayed, mark the sights you've seen, highlight the bits for your next Norway trip. It's all good.
Allocate some of your luggage space for carrying food and drink. Self catering is definitely more economic, and there's loads of places providing the option.
Chamois cream is great for longer days in the saddle. Same stuff that cyclists use. Believe me it makes all the difference, especially on the hotter days.
Think that's my know-it-all 0.02c for now.
