Guest Michael Sharman Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 You picked a beautiful country to visit, ok it can be expensive both to get there and to stay there but it is well worth the trouble. Mind you I have been going there for the last 20 years so I presume I am biased. Dfds ferries - Newcastle/Kristiansand or Harwich/Esbjerg and drive to ferry for either Norway and or Swede. But then I bet you are in the deep south- but it's not that bad up the A1. Restricted times that they will carry motorhomes on N/K WHY? never worked it out!! H/E does not have the same restriction. June onwards, but don't leave it late. I met some people in hired Transit vans in October, yes it had been snowing, no snow tyres, I wonder how they got on? There does not seem a way of direct communication through this board but very willing to help if you can find one. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jane Swindail Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I wrote an article about our travels in Norway, which I have e-mailed to over 60 MMM readers over the last year or so. The best way to read it now, if you have not already done so, is to visit www.magbaztravels.com, where you will see it in the Quick Links column on the right of the home page. If you have any specific questions after that you could e-mail me via swindail@ekit.com (we are touring Tunisia at the moment, so we only pick up e-mail when we find an internet cafe).

Guest Kate McKenna Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 thanks for the info. everyone.i found all the info. helpful,i am a bit confused as to what we are allowed to take into Norway as regards fresh food and alcohol. I would like to take a supply of fresh fruit and veg. as we try to eat healthily and want to take a reasonable supply of wine to see us through the 2 weeks. Is there a limit ; is it allowed at all? thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
