Road to Hell

Any of my blog followers of any repute will recall Seville Gav, who I met on my first bike trip abroad, he recently told me to “Go to Hell”, not a phrase you would immediately associate with somebody with whom ( still can’t fathom out who and whom!) you considered to have a friendly relationship with. However, being ‘easily led’, Jacob and I rode the road to Hell, and what a nightmare it was! Arriving in Trondheim we both agreed that this has been our worst day’s ride of both our trips! Not just the rain, the cold, the ridiculously low speed limits, the traffic, but apart from one rather impressive waterfall, no decent scenery at all of any note. And despite all the warning signs for moose, not even a snifter of one, even Sven was tucked away in the pannier!

Rain before 7 fine by 11? I’m not confident!
I think Jacob may be having second thoughts about accompanying me through wet Norway!
Mmmm……so this is why we ride motorbikes? 🤔
One good thing about the about of rain, decent waterfalls!
More of the same!
Leaving north Norway
The vacinity of Hell wasn’t as warm as I’d imagined

Sorry to say Gav, we never actually went to Hell, there were roadworks and the only Hell we endured, other than the ride, was the tunnel of Hell.

Trondheim, not all of it obviously!
The briefest glimpse of sunshine!

  1. Definitely looked like the road to hell! Very aptly named – sorry you couldn’t finally get there. Hope the sun comes out for you and Sven can make an appearance again. Reg deserves a rub down x

  2. Hell by name and hell by nature by the looks of it. At least you’re heading South now and hopefully it will get dryer and warmer.
    According to the met office we are heading for a heat wave in the uk. Ha believe it when I see it.
    Keep dry and safe.
