Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. 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.

4. Back to Sognefjellet
Sognefjellet itself is a long way from here, up in the mountains between Lom and Skjolden, and this finish point is not on it. It is calm farm country, a patchwork of fields cut into dark spruce, with small lakes and red barns, and it is where a long mountain ride can wind down gently.
