dear Sir, I’ve just finished reading the second part of Targa to the Arctic, an enjoyable read. Now a colleague and I are planning to do something very similar in 2019, and I think I’ve plotted the route you drove back from the Arctic Circle Centre and am working on the outward. I wonder if you are able to share the ‘from’ and ‘to’ Calais route so I can make sure I don’t miss the places you went, as some of the roads and views sound sublime. It’s noted Trollstigen is best done outside tourist times.

I also appreciate you probably have better things to do, but I don’t suppose you’d have the hotels you stayed in once in Europe? Finally, what month did you go in? Thanks in advance; I loved the article and the beautiful extra photos in the app gave real inspiration for a special road trip. paul downton Fantastic to read our adventure to the arctic circle has inspired you to take on a similar journey, paul! I highly recommend it. please find my route enclosed. I went up through Sweden and back down through norway. coming back down through norway you’ll stick to the e6 from the arctic circle right down to Kristiansund, though you can detour off and take in some of the beautiful, quieter roads hugging norway’s east coast. please note though these roads do require ferries to hop through the fjords, so this will take significantly longer. You’re right to avoid trollstigen during the day if you want a

‘proper’ drive of it, though the near 24 hours of daylight in the months of June and July mean this won’t be a problem. Many of the ferries in the area which transport you between fjords stop operating at around 10:30pm, though – you will need a ferry to get from trollstigen to Geiranger.

as for hotels, we used booking.com and found most to be pleasant enough. We highly recommend staying in the Geiranger hotel, which was excellent, with spectacular views. We couldn’t find anywhere particularly nice to stay in Kristiansund so you might like to stay out of town when you go. We went from 30

June to 10 July 2018. please let me know how you get on!
