Refining the Route Days 8 and 9
Hang on a minute what happened to Days 5,6 & 7 you might ask. These are the days that I'll be doing the Pan Gathering, typically there will be a run out on each of the days, sometimes guided, sometimes not, its varied over the last few Pan Gathering but usually range from 150 to 400km. Some people also choose to do their own thing on these days. The point is I don't really know what I'm going to be doing, its way too early for the route plans to be published by the Pan Gathering organisers so I will just have to wait and see.
Day 8 is a shortish hop from Vradal to Bergen (almost). There is only one planned stop along this route and thats because I fancy doing some skiing. Summer skiing is possible on the FONNA Glacier which is reached by a small road from a town called Jondal. Its going to feel a bit surreal skiing in summer and while I am not a great fan of T-bar lifts, I am determined to give it a go.
Bergen appears to be a bit expensive to stay in so I'm planning on staying on a campsite by a lake called Grimevatnet. Total for the day will be about 345km.
Day 9 sees a long haul up from Bergen to Geiranger. Its a wiggly route that runs mostly North from Bergen and is inspired by best biking roads and includes a ferry across the mouth of the Sognefjorden from Rutledal to Rysjedalsvika, scoots along the edges of the Dalsfjorden, Jolstravatnet and Innvikfjorden before heading over the Dalsnibba mountain to Gerainger. The Geraingerfjord is apparently the most beautiful in Norway judging by the number of Cruise ships that visit here.
