Bratland Camping, Bergen - 8 July 2018

Geoff
Not a lot to say about today. About 60 or so miles driven in sunshine and along quiet Sunday roads. Shops are generally shut on Sundays, it seems. Quite a few tunnels. We made straight for our planned site, Bratland Camping, on the 580 road south of Bergen. It's not far from the airport and we'll stay here for two nights. 

I went for a 3.5km waymarked walk from the site this afternoon. Quite a few ups and downs. A good leg stretch. Signed from the route was a path up to a peak called Ulriken. I hope to have time to explore that as well.

A relaxed start to the day, and then we said farewell to Anders, grateful for his company, all agreeing that we felt much happier when not entirely alone on these Camperstops on the main road. 

We had just 60 easy miles to cover to get to the campsite Geoff had researched, which is 8 miles and 20 minutes drive from the airport, ideally placed for a couple of days rest before my flight. There were several tunnels of varying lengths en route - the scary ones are the ones that go downhill, and the couple this morning which were unlit - and we arrived soon after 1pm. It's a very pleasant campsite, with the added bonuses of free wifi, a little shop and walks straight from the site. It is also on a bus route into Bergen, but visiting the city will wait until the weekend. We were again fortunate to arrive early and find ourselves a nice little corner position. It now seems to be completely full, not surprisingly.
