Into the fjords - a Norwegian adventure

Post by carbon-monkey »

Hi Folks

Thought I 'd share the trip report of my recent trip to Norway bikepacking (and sea kayaking). It's spectacularly beautiful out there and the riding is big and hard. There'd be some amazing gravel tours out there, but if you want singletrack you have to work for them! If you fancy a peak at the photos and words check it out over http://www.carbon-monkey.co.uk/wp/index ... he-fjords/

Hope you enjoy

Cheers

Cheers all, there seem to be quite a few folk interested in getting out there, enough in fact for me to consider running a guided trip next September if any folk here are interested?

I'd be interested in hearing more details.
Went to Norway quite a few years ago now & would really like to go back to see more..

Just wondering who is still interested in a Norway trip this year? Looking at the first week of September, dependent on who comes either a 5 day, sea kayak and mountainbike route, or a 3/4 day MTB only route?
