This is for people I know, so apologies if you’ve found this from a random Google search or similar. There’s currently a Question Of The Week on B3ta called “Things to do before you die<\/a>“, had a think about this, and decided I wanted to go see a couple of places in Norway (details below).<\/p>\n

There’s tonnes of things where I think “Oh, I’d like to do x, y or z”, and then never get around to them. So I’ve decided I want to do this in the summer of 2011, and this post is a way for me to ask who’d be up for it.<\/p>\n

The two places I want to go are Trolltunga<\/a> and the Kjeragbolten<\/a>. Trolltunga’s a huge lip of rock sticking out of a cliff face 350m above the water, and the Kjeragbolten is a boulder stuck in a crevasse nearly 1km about the water. Couple of photos of the two:<\/p>\n

Wikipedia seems to think the best season is June to September time, but not going to specify an exact date at the moment. If we were to road trip it crossing in France, it’s about 1,400 miles<\/a> through France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. I’d think that would be at least two days of driving, possibly three each way. Given that, I’d reckon be something like leave on a Friday night, get back on a Sunday, and crash with friends on the way through the continent. Normally guesstimate the car taking 10p per mile, so that’d be around \u00a375 each, plus tolls.<\/p>\n

What do people reckon then? Mail me or send me a message on Facebook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
