In between rain showers, we donned our trainers and headed up the navvies road. This road was built to enable the Fl\u00e5msbana, that we rode on the day before, to be built and as we jogged along we were amazed at the willpower and engineering that would be needed just to build the road, let alone the railway.<\/p>\n<p>I managed just over 6 kilometres and Jay was feeling great so he carried on after I turned back and covered around 10 kilometres. After\u00a0showers and a quick hair cut for Jay it was time to move on from Fl\u00e5m camping. As Jay sorted Zagan at the service point, I collected up a couple of handfuls of the many fallen apples from the trees on the site. I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll be able to rustle something up with those for a pudding one night.<\/p>\n<p>We didn&#8217;t have far to drive to our next stop, which had been recommended by Kate and Steve (who we met when we <a href=\"http:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/farewell-to-finland-with-a-day-of-sami-culture-anar-inari\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">first got into Norway over two months ago<\/a>). I can hardly believe it that we have been here this long, and still there&#8217;s loads more to see. The parking spot was 20 kilometres from the campsite; we didn&#8217;t realised that 18 of those 20 would be spent in tunnels. The first one was six kilometres long on a fairly steep incline. We popped out of the darkness with just enough time to blink and for a junction to head off from the road, before plunging into an 11 kilometre long downhill tunnel. Turning off at the bottom of that we thought we were done, but no. A cheeky 1.5 kilometre single track tunnel took us along the fjordside.<\/p>\n<p>As we parked up on the patch of land next to the fjord (<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=loc:60.90123,6.86180\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">N60.90123,E6.86180<\/a>) we were greeted with a rainbow. Here we were in one of the most beautiful places in Norway (UNESCO listed to prove it) and a huge rainbow arcs across the fjord. Around us the only sound was from the waterfalls tumbling down the mountainsides. It was one of those moments in life I&#8217;ll remember forever.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23866\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23866\" class=\"size-large wp-image-23866\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160911_143133093_HDR-1024x576-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Motorhome N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord, Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160911_143133093_HDR-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160911_143133093_HDR-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160911_143133093_HDR-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23866\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What a welcome when we parked up<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We were both shattered from our morning run, and it rained most of the day, so we spent a lazy day watching the boats and kayaks go up and down the fjord and writing our <a href=\"http:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/10-top-tips-for-motorhome-travel-in-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">10 top tips for motorhome travel in Europe<\/a>.

Parking up we set off to walk up part of the Rimstigen, a track which for many centuries was the only means of access to these mountain areas. After yesterday&#8217;s rain, the track was slippy and muddy but we climbed up through trees and wild raspberry plants &#8211; if only we had been here a month earlier when they were full of fruit, we would be leaving with full tummies and bulging pockets. As the path got steeper, Charlie struggled with his arthritic legs so I carried him for a while. At one point Jay looked ahead and deemed it better if Charlie and I stayed here as it was getting steeper, how happy were we?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23860\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23860\" class=\"size-large wp-image-23860\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00935-1024x445-1024x445.jpg\" alt=\"Slightly different Monday morning traffic jam\" width=\"620\" height=\"269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00935-1024x445.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00935-1024x445-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC00935-1024x445-768x334.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23860\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Slightly different Monday morning traffic jam<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_23868\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23868\" class=\"wp-image-23868 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160912_115352950_HDR-1024x576-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Rimstigen walk Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160912_115352950_HDR-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160912_115352950_HDR-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160912_115352950_HDR-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23868\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rimstigen walk Norway<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Jay went on further up, but the views were obscured by trees, so we made our way back down to the treeless part, found a rock each and sat to watch the boats go through the narrowest part (250m) of the narrowest fjord in Norway.

After several more tunnels, which wound up though the inside of a mountain, we were spat out next to a sign for, you guessed it, the Stalheim hotel. Parking up just along from the hotel, as the car park had a &#8216;no motorhomes or caravans&#8217; sign. We wandered back and manned up. To see the amazing view you need to be on the hotel terrace, to get to the terrace you have to walk through the hotel. The hotel was big, and posh and we were a tad scruffy, but we went for it and not an eye was batted. Walking along the outside terrace you could see down\u00a0the magnificent N\u00e6r\u00f8y Valley. We could also see cars going down the famous 13 hairpin bend road that was build up to the hotel for the days before the tunnels. After many hairpin bends recently, we opted to give Zagan&#8217;s brakes a rest and drive back along the &#8216;boring&#8217; way.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23871\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23871\" class=\"size-large wp-image-23871\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160912_134416952_HDR-1024x576-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Stalheim Hotel View, Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160912_134416952_HDR-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160912_134416952_HDR-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160912_134416952_HDR-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23871\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View from the Stalheim Hotel terrace<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_23865\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23865\" class=\"size-large wp-image-23865\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01000-1024x630-1024x630.jpg\" alt=\"Balanced hut Norway\" width=\"620\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01000-1024x630.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01000-1024x630-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC01000-1024x630-768x473.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23865\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">How to level your shed when living on a mountain Norwegian style<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By now it was getting on so when we spotted a nice picnic spot by the lake in Oppheim we pulled in and Jay cooked up bacon and avacado sarnies for us with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B00HANV8QA\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=B00HANV8QA&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=dailyposts-21\" rel=\"nofollow\">Camping Stove<\/a>\u00a0on the picnic bench.
