The first roadsign indicating Trondheim said 1000km, they must have been eager to get there because you cannot miss it. The second sign, this morning, said 800km, so now it’ll be 600km. The E6 is the one and only coastal road, a two lane blacktop. Don’t misunderstand me; one lane south, one lane north, 80km/t max. If not indicated otherwise. To be honest it is no fun. The Swedish were slow on their own E4, now they are speeding and overtaking even in these tunnels! On top of which the weather is grey and wet, cold as well if you do get the chance to step outside. The E4 is it’s Swedish twin with the difference that you can take other smaller roads inland, the north of Norway is maybe 60km wide and consists of mountains non habitated so no roads! National Parks with interdiction signs and waterfalls that block the way, nice to look at from below, no more. So after today’s Narvik to Fauske, close to 200km and a stiff neck, tunnelfobia has made it’s entry. I must have gone through 20 odd tunnels. They are two cars wide and never very straight, some climing and then descending, lorries coming towards you with hardly room to pass. And then suddenly it ends in a very bright daylight… Have stopped at several places, met a woman with her boy fishing crabs who told me it was the worsed summer since they bought, but all places right next to the E6, this one has the view but also the lorries at 3 meters.
Maybe we’ll do some night riding
