Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Food stop near Reinsvoll
West of Lake Mjøsa, Norway's largest lake, the land rises into the gentle hills of Toten, some of the best farmland in the country. Reinsvoll is a small community here, set among fields, farmsteads and patches of spruce forest, with long views over the lake and the hills beyond. It is a quiet place, where you are more likely to meet a tractor than a tourist.

3. Near Nesoddtangen
Out on the Oslofjord, between the Nesodden peninsula and the western shore near Slemmestad, the water is wide, island-studded and busy with sails on summer weekends. This point sits in that stretch of fjord country, a few kilometres from Nesoddtangen, where wooded shores, smooth granite skerries and summer cabins line the water, and the towers of Oslo are visible to the north. The ferries that cross the fjord, and the many small boats, give the area a maritime feel.
