Leaving Hamburgsund early, I set off to make my way to get as close to Goteborg as possible and was then due to head south to meet up with an old friend. The towns and roads were all very similar – lots of flat arable land. Lots of Gallerias – creative people open up their houses or small … Continue reading
Cycling South from Stromstad way, and the islands are really nice and leisurely to cycle around – through fishing villages, into forestry and see that road in the picture – see it – its FLAT – I could kiss the ground to be here on the flat – its amazing! The weather was sunny and the places … Continue reading
Arriving in Sweden on Midsummer was a whole weekend of celebrations. The tradition of Midsummer is to be with loved ones, friends and family and to celebrate being together. Little girls make headpieces of ivy and flowers and they dance around the ivy pole. The girls pick 7 flowers and put them under their … Continue reading
Have been reading a very good book whilst in Norway called the ‘Mornings in Jenin’. It got me sucked in so much that even when I ride I think about it. The book is not something that will make you laugh but it will grab your emotions and grant a place in your heart to remember … Continue reading

Cycling down the Setesdal Valley was flat the majority of the way and it was a nice ride too. The rain came down heavy as I was leaving the campsite until the evening, of which I thought for my own sanity it was best to stay somewhere warm for the night. I arrived in Evje and … Continue reading
I fell in love with the quirky little campsite and so firstly had a tent day, as it rained like the world hadn’t rained before – thats another thing… if a Norwegian tells you its going to rain, it means the country is going to be flooded, your likely to see old Noah sailing past … Continue reading
The hours and hours spent getting over the mountains had been worth every agonizing and painful moment. I had arrived at the very first campsite I found. Pitched and crashed. Awoke later in the evening to meet the host and spend the evening pottering around – it was delightful and I wanted to stay for … Continue reading
I had decided to move away from the coastal route since the day I spent in Stavanger to explore abit more of what Norway is famous for and from the 2 hikes I had walked I knew i had made the right decision. After the Kjerag day I left early to take on the “27 hair-pin bends” from the … Continue reading
