Climbing in Norway.

Looks like I'm off to Norway for a short while. Any advice or do's and don't for while I'm out there. And how did you find it?

[Mr Lee]

Expensive! Where abouts in Norway you heading to? We drove up to skjervoy a few years back. Lovely place.

 

Alcohol is an odd one. You can get it from the supermarket in the morning, a liquor shop till tea time then pub only after a certain time. We found locals friendly and accepting of our driving/ ways etc.

Don't Drink and Drive and the speeding fines are high. Food nice and most natives like the English.

I'm going out there tomorrow. Everything is expensive, but then wages are higher. As previously mentioned, fines are scary expensive. People are nice, but crap drivers...indicators must cost too much to use. Tree work is usually really good, everything seems to be taller out there and there's less faffing about. Enjoy bud.

Having spent over 2 years on and off living in Norway in the Royal Marines during the 80's, I have the following to offer: it's bloody expensive, the beer is pricey, they are good drivers but on the wrong side of the roads, in the UK you could have 2 pints and be ok to legally drive, however in Norway your on a big downer-.1% alcohol level in your body and you can't drive**the Police & courts are extremely strict so be warned**,oh, and last but not least-all the girls love it ! lol-enjoy.
