 Day 4.
Monday 5th July. Distance 355 miles.
The rain woke me about 8am and after a good
breakfast I headed for Trondheim. The traffic was quite light
and I made good time.
I talked earlier about the Norwegian bikers
smiling when I told them our speed limits. In Noway, you are
sometimes allowed to do 90 maybe on motorways, mostly 80 then as
you go north lots of 60's and sometime down to 50 and 30.
But this is Kilometers so 80 is 50MPH, do the
maths. Needless to say the speeds are quite low in places but I
didn't mind and stuck to them rigorously.
It kept raining on and off and I met quite a
few bikers heading south. All wave with a horizontal flick of the
wrist, I soon got the hang of it. I rode through Mosjoen and onto
MO I Rana but had no luck with accommodation there. Riding north I
found a hut for K240 (£20). Warm and dry so did my bookwork, and
had a good nights sleep.
