Thank you. The mountains and the gravel will have to wait. Taking into consideration the conditions and the weight of advice I am now going to reroute to Trondheim from where I hope to find public transport to take me south and intercept a cycle route that will take me further south so I can join the North Sea cycle route into Sweden. I will have about another week available after Trondheim to cycle in Norway( weather permitting). At the risk of exceeding my quota of advice on this forum could I seek help with the new plan please.
