All Towing Posts – This tag marks all posts where we were travelling between stopping sites while towing the caravan. It does not include sightseeing trips.
On paper the plan for the next two or three days was simple. We’d amble down toward Preikestolen Camping to hike up to Pulpit Rock. We’d avoid tolls and ferries, and wild camp to save some cash. Rather than backtrack all of the tunnels on the E16 we’d take the FV7, part of the Hardanger Tourist Route, which climbs over the mountains and then meanders its’ way along the north shore of Hardangerfjord before joining the 13 road south.
After a casual pack away, we hitched up the caravan and pre-warmed the car engine to start the quite steep 5km climb up to the E16 road. Within a kilometre we entered the first of more than 30 tunnels on the route, the 11km tunnel to Gudvangen at the head of Nærøyfjord. Luckily there is no gephyrophobia * here 🙂
