2009 5450 km

Along the coastal road to the Lofoten

Deutsch | English

A day with rain from early to late: I decide to take a rest day in the tent. Then on along road 715 from Afjord to the north. Quite hilly, and in the morning I see the first elk of this trip. Namsos was the next stop. From there on road 17 through the hinterland and by ferry to Somna, where the weather was so nice that I completely missed the planned destination by about 50 km and rode on to Bronnoysund (where I met the Regensburg cyclists with the road bikes again, who had not taken a rest day :) ).

From Bronnoysund with 3 ferries to Nesna, having to wait a long time for the boats in places. Time to take a few pictures.

On to Mo i Rana and along the E6 to Storjord, rain without a break from 9 o’clock on, a pity, because in places I would have liked some view; it looked as if there was something to see there. The Arctic Circle now also lies behind me, to the south. This evening I treated myself to a cabin, it was good, but also the only time on this trip; my 10-year-old tent was still in good shape.

On the E6 and road 815 to Saltstraumen, with a few proper small climbs in between.

Now on to the Lofoten :) .
