Hi Noah,
1) It’s hard to say on Fenders. Last year we got very little rain in September, but this year it may be more. I personally don’t use them that much when bikepacking. My rear saddle bag gives me some protection and if it’s really raining hard, I will try and find shelter. Bottomline – Handy – yes, essential – no.
2) Yes, the Oslo-Bergen route is the best way to get from Voss-Beregn. Very scenic and beautiful to ride.
3) You will not get much choice when it comes to grocery stores (unless in a large town). Cheaper supermarkets are Rema 1000 and Kiwi. In large towns and cities, there is a sports shop called XXL. They sell ‘Turmat’ (vacuumed packed dry food high in calories). Excellent for bikepacking. http://www.xxl.no/search?query=turmat&style=Oransje
