Hi all.
July/august next year i'm planning on flying from the uk to Oslo and then visiting Kristiansand but hopefully staying on a campsite in Tromoy. I will be travelling with just what i have packed in my rucksack. I have a an Wynnster Cairn 2 tent which is around 5/6 lbs in weight.
I'm looking for advice on a good camp mat and sleeping bag which hopefully will be as light as possible without breaking the bank.
I would also like to take a some food that i could cook some nights to keep costs down as i know Norway can be expensive.
Will be grateful for any advice regarding what to pack whilst keeping the weight down. Thanks Jason
Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
We use a vaude norrsken insulated inflatable mat for going by plane. It fits in a rucksack side pocket. There are two sizes - short and long. Prices vary.
Norway is hugely expensive.
Cheap & light mat - the Multimat UK made closed cell foam mats. Any of their CCF mats will be ok for summer unless you want more comfort which equals more money especially if you want light as possible. For other option that won't break the bank for both mat or bag look at Alpkit. Have a good rep for value for money, decent kit at reasonable weights.
Food wise I'd go with supermarket foods as specialist 'lightweight' food is expensive & not usually any better, lighter or any more calories or quicker to cook. Packet pasta's etc & even meals in a bag that just need heating up ('look what we found' meals). Not tried the latter as too heavy for me.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
