Transscandinavia 2012

[willem]

Hi all,

I'm starting a hiking & packrafting adventure across Scandinavia (Lindesnes-Nordkinn) this weekend - and should finish it in late september. Maybe some of you will be interested to follow a bit on http://transscandinavia.wordpress.com

Curious how much snow will be on the Setesdalsheiane and Hardangervidda!

Cheers,

Willem

Looks like a very good plan. I see your route through Børgefjell are rather strange, but I guess you like to get close to the high altitude areas around Kvigtinden? The "normal" route starts from the northeaster part of Namsvatnet

Hi all,

Curious how much snow will be on the Setesdalsheiane and Hardangervidda!

I can't tell how much snow there will be at the Harangervidda, but in Setesdalsheiene there are still a lot of snow.

(A few years ago there were still 90% snow 1. july)

Bring winter clothing. (Wool) and, do not forgett mittens and headgear. (dubbel set.)

I see from your blogg that you plan to by alcohol (rødsprit) at local stores.

There are, as you allready know, no alcohol to be bought between Fidjeland/Ådneram and Liseth. There are no shops of any sort. (I would have sent an epost to Haukeliseter and asked them to order a botle, They might be able to help.)

Hi,

I'll send some post packages containing food and alcohol for my stove in advance to Adneram and Haukeliseter.

If there is too much snow, I will change my route a bit to the east.

Ah, the webcam at Haukeliseter... have been watching it a lot the last few days

Great trip you've got ahead of you! I hope you will enjoy every step, even the heavy ones.

This guy here: Walk of Norway, started out from Lindesnes on the 19. of may, and is now crossing Hardangervidda. He has been skiing from somewhere in Setesdalsheiene. You could send him an e-mail: andygrandy (at) gmail.com and get a response as to how the conditions in the mountains area as of now. (got his e-mail of his webpage).

Good luck. I will be following your progress and blog!
