Thanks

Re: Norway
Afternoon Mr Boatman, 
A Hytte comes in various flavours like B&B's here. Last time we were there in summer we paid abou £25 each for a basic one with 4 bunks a small kitchen - the midgies were free apparently (incidentally so were the wee wild starwberries growing in the hedges). Basically some of them can be like converted sheds. I'm referring to Summer as well.
You can pay upto £100 or more a night but when you think a plate of pasta in a youth hostel can be £15 quid you get an idea of scale. Also a hostel can be £30 quid or more which everybody uses because a B&B can be somewhere in the region of £100. Don't discount the hostels - they're not just for noisy kids.
If they're quiet you can book for one night only too, most prices quoted are for a week.
I'd do a bit of web searching for the area you're going to. We never book in advance for the Hytte's we've stayed at but always need to book the hostels, because everybody uses ...
Hope this helps a little... ?
As a rough guide we tend to use 1:1 conversion 10kroner = 10GBP, but i've not checked in the last year or so.
Where you thinking of going by the way.
Cheers

Re: Norway
Tromso, now what inspired that name ... :laugh:
I agree best place I've ever been on a bike too
4 trips all in June or July. Piccy's don't do it justice
Hope that's help whet the appetite, enjoy planning. (Better put some whiskey in those panniers coz £70-£90 quid a bottle or more will mak yur eyes water).
It's also legal to wild camp if you're 100m or more from dwellings and discrete etc etc.

Re: Norway
and (last one I promise)...
NE from Flam there's the Laerdal tunnel. 15 odd miles long, but unlike the Mont Blanc tunnel for example, you can get off and have a cuppa under a few billion tonnes of rock and stretch your legs, open spaces with light and painted sky ceilings for the claustrophobic. Not your usual recommendation, but piccy 4 above is the alternative top road and something different.
Nicked Piccy from the Web. That's it, I'll shut up now leave you to your plans

Re: Norway
Thanks guys !
this year,s was jaunt was California -Deadhorse Prudehoe Bay Alaska n back all hotel/motel
Next years jaunt is hopefully Scotland/Nordkapp n back all camping (cos it will be way too expensive otherwise!!) , but the idea would be to use huts if poss on the days when its P@@ing whith rain.

Re: Norway
I am a little late with my answer as others have given good accurate advice. I just got back from Norway a couple of weeks ago and the exchange rate was 9.4 NOK = £1.
I wild camped most of the time but my cheapest hut or Hytter was 250NOk the most expensive was 400NOK.
Unless you are very rich take food, £9.50 for a Kebab. In the supermarket a packet of bacon, four potatoes, some cheese and bread with two cans of cider, £40. Having said all that the Scenery is mind-blowing, the people friendly and the roads are A grade.
