Have been away for the past week riding to Norway and then taking part in the Norwegian Camel Rally, a 24 hour long distance scatter rally organised by Per Jensen. It is an incredibly beautiful part of the world and I had one of the best day's riding I have ever had on the rally - think Scotland and the Alps together but without the traffic, and bigger!
Only three problems with Norway - one how long it takes to get here (took me 24 hours fairly non stop from Calais to get to the start at Fredrikstad); two the speed limits, they are not high and penalties are draconian eg 4900 Kr (around £490) for up to 10km over, and foreigners are not exempt from the on the spot fines; and thirdly the cost of everything (£8.40 for 0.6l of draught beer anyone - I have been teetotal here!).
My report on the rally can be found here.
