      Acknowledgements

      Many Norwegians, in town and on the trail, helped make my days in their country special. Some invited me to join them on their walk; others patiently gave directions; many lightened my days with a bit of English conversation. This walking guide would not be complete without mention of my special friends who shared Norway’s mountains with me: Dale and Marie Blanchard of Newark, California; Susan Degutz of Staten Island, New York; and Unni Bjerke of Drammen, Norway. Others graciously helped me with the day-to-day preparation of this book: Robert Shankland provided expert editiorial guidance; Jason Mitchell helped with translation; professional cartographic assistance was provided by Kris Bergstrom and Story Rafter of Carto Graphics, San Francisco. Kaare and Karin Meland of Bergen offered friendship and hospitality on numerous occasions, and took time to review parts of the manuscript. Other chapters were read by Unni Bjerke, Marian Halley, Kathleen Rayna, and Sarah Roos.

      Advice to Readers

If we know of any there will be an Updates tab on this book’s page on the Cicerone website (www.cicerone.co.uk), so please check before planning your trip. We also advise that you check information about such things as transport, accommodation and shops locally. Even rights of way can be altered over time. We are always grateful for information about any discrepancies between a guidebook and the facts on the ground, sent by email to [email protected] or by post to Cicerone, 2 Police Square, Milnthorpe LA7 7PY, United Kingdom.
