Mornin'
I'm trying to decide what to do with my annual holiday. For once I'm in a position to consider Norway, something I've always wanted to do. Thing is, the cost represents an awful lot of time [overtime actually - alot] and money to me and I can't really afford to be disappointed.
I know no one can give me guarantees [especially on weather] but I'd like to hear from anyone who's actually been. If anyone could answer the following I'd appreciate it.
1. Weather:
How does it compare to the UK - end of July, early August. Especially southern Norway.
Spending £3k to ride through a rain cloud for 3 weeks would be just abit disappointing. Particularly so when the Spain'll cost half that.
Is the weather in Norway at that time of year generally better or worse than the UK?
2. Can rooms for the night be found as you ride, like it's possible in Germany and France - end of July, early August.
3. Cost of a room that'll sleep two with shower.
4. How many days to travel from top to bottom - without going mad.
5. Is it any point in going to the far north other than to say you've been there?
6. Can I expect the traffic to be bad, don't really fancy driving in queues like when the alps get busy.
Thanks.
