Hi Emma, I hope your bike turns up soon. If not, consider renting one with bags from Fara Cycling in Oslo.

1. I don’t have any particular campsites to recommend. There are so many in Norway and I usually only spend a night at one and move on in the morning. I use the app Norcamp (www.norcamp.de/en/camping.pitches.cabins.48.html) to find campsite close by and sometimes they have reviews and pictures.

2. Not much. Campsite sometimes requires 10kr coins to operate the showers. If your card stops working then I guess having cash will help you out. Sometimes there is a system to pay with Vipps which is a Norwegian payment system (not available to foreigners). In that case having cash may be beneficial.

3. You don’t need to start off with 2 days worth of food unless you begin on Sunday. You will pass Drammen and other towns after leaving Oslo. Keep your bags as light as possible and stock up only when required, e.g before the remote forest areas. There are more shops than you may think alone the way. Use google maps to search for them while on the road.

Safe travels!
