Brilliant, thanks Matthew.

I booked my flight to Tromso for middle of August. Preparing for the worst weather abd hoping for the best! Really looking forward to it. This site is key to my planning.

Point noted re. Ålesund to Mjølkevegen and Rallarvegen. I will zone in on what the latter parts of the trip will look like after the first few days. Would you consider that route a highlight for a first trip and try to fit it in or recommend an alternative?
