Day 1 Summary

We made it to Roros! But not without incidence...further flooding closed off a large section of Highway 3 forcing us into a 60km detour along country roads; although probably adding time to the journey the scenary was absolutely stunning. There was ample evidence of flooding with rivers swelled and fields under way. We also drove through a thunder storm with lightning flashing and then thunder booming almost instantly...

Flooding...

We left home bang on time at midday with the intention of tavelling straight up the E6 via Lillehammer to Oppdal and have just stopped off for a break next to the banks of Lake Mjosa (Norway's largest lake). Unfortunately, extreme levels of rainfall further north have coursed significant floodings...so much so that the E6 has been closed. This has forced us into a rethink and we will now be taking Highway 3 bypassing Lillehammer and aim to stay the night at Roros.
