Finally rode the Trollstigen after many recommendations. This twisty mountain road is in the Rauma Municipality, Møre og Romsdal and a continuation of the Atlantic Road 63. Its pretty steep in places and has 11 hairpin bends but the downside is its very busy with motor homes and coaches and is a modest 850m in comparison to some of the Alpine crossings – stunning views and leading to Geirangerfjorden – well worth it.

Final Preparation
Today is the final preparation day before I leave the UK – back end of August with a rough itinerary and a small handful of cash. Have to say the bike looks a lot better than this now after 2 months of total refurbishment by Mike, couple of minor niggles to get sorted today and after a Sunday panic had the frame section welded on Tuesday… bit last minute for me but learning to just go with the flow… and there are not many MOT stations where you can strip down bits of your own bike and rebuild before they do the test… many thanks to Castle Garage. 
Norway and Eastern Europe
Plans are afoot for my big 50th and the long tour I have always dreamed of – route is in early stages of planning all I know for certain is I leave the UK on 8th June and have to be back at work early September.
