What is Kjeldebu?

We are! Well, not really, we just borrowed the name from this wonderful place we hiked to in a pourdown in 1998 (shitty summer across whole of Europe. Remember?) on the Hardanger-plateau in Norway.

It was only our second DNT hut, but oh, how we enjoyed the down covers & the woodstove after 6 hours hiking in the rain.

Final thoughts

There you go, finally, we’ve sat down and finished our blog on this trip, this (small) part of our life: All in all, this is exactly what we needed: cycle, eat, sleep, plan tomorrow’s trip, eat, sleep, cycle… Yes, we would recommend it to anyone. Not fit enough? We don’t think this is a real issue. You adapt distances and speeds to your capabilities, just don’t be too ambitious about the distances you’ll want to cover; certainly not with kids: a short pee stop will easily take up to half an hour before you take off again. We’ve often been asked about the kids, how did they cope: being tired, hungry, sleeping in a new...

Some numbers

During the trip we went through the effort of logging some data on each riding day like average speed, ride time, maximum speed. Here are a few numbers: – 93 days (or 13 weeks / 2232 hours / 133.920 minutes / 8.035.200 seconds) – 6 countries cycled: Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway & Sweden – 2000 km cycled: 1700 touring & another 300 wandering about, groceries,…. – 0 punctures, 1 loose bottom bracket – 3 sun burns: 2 left-sided, 1 on Dominique’s back (now, 3 months later you still see the marks) – 2 bikes, 1 trailer, 6 wheels, 11 panniers, 4 helmets   For the geeks we’ve added a few charts showing the differences between...

Sweden & Norway: a brief summary

As we just posted our ‘Final thoughts’-post, we’ll keep this one really brief. Under “Gallery” you’ll find photo albums for Belgium & The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Sweden. After having crossed Denmark a little too fast (we would have liked stay a little longer at some spots like the Teltpladsen, but had to family expecting us along the way) we took the ferry from Hirtshals (DK) to Kristiansand (NO). Finally, back in Norway. This is the country fell in love with in 1998. Where we got Kjeldebu from. This was somehow the part of the trip we had decided we would take our time to discover the country. Well, to be honest, we have...
