Had a copy from Santa, skimmed through it looks like a lot of useful info. Should suit you down to the ground for your trip.

SteveS - I'll let you know
 from what I have read on the amazon preview, it seems to be winter because he talks about windchill but you probably get that in the summer there too  |

The book gives a turn by turn discription of the Road - as well as little deviations / trips off the road
Would be very usefull for a longer trip with time to explore the vilages and side roads - not too usefull on a dash to Nordkap in winter We never looked at ours during our trip But a good read about the area before you go Will definatly take it if we go back for a spring relaxing holiday |

hi Gavin
as you know we are going in Feb, like you say a dash, but we are also thinking of a longer 30 day trip next summer with the children and taking in the axe foundry and meeting up with our friends in Norway. the book is enroute to me now, so hopefully I'll have time to read it before we go |

Nice knives and axes available in Norway, and some jolly nice jumpers if you like that sort of thing.
Take your own booze though

book arrived today ...
pretty good, covers summer and winter conditions, road signs, speed limits, fuel stops, other rules, convoy driving, insurance & documents, tolls, accomodation, wild camping, maps, advice, money, service stations/gas stations... ... then a km by km guide to the top of europe from the arctic circle border. anyone planning on going on a trip (organised or not) should consider getting the book. for example: I know Tromso, I have friends there and visited in Feb 2012 (by air), it pretty much describes everything available there including tourist office, fuel stations, hotels blah blah blah ... "Norway's Arctic Highway" by John Douglas ISBN: 1-873756-9 |
