The centre of the coast

May 19th - 24th Brønnøysund


With equal distances to the southern and northern tip of Norway along the coast Brønnøysund claims with some merit to be the centre of the coast.


Days was spent producing little, but enjoying lazy life. The closest surroundings to the marine was explored by foot and bike. And enjoying spectacular sunsets.


One day a walked a trail around the airport starting and ending in the city centre marina. A feat made much more feasible by the airport being one of the STOL airports that has become another sort of landmark for the mountainous landscape of Norway. When there is not enough flat land to build 2-3km long runways 800 m must have to do. Thus Twin Otters and Dash 8s from deHavilland Canada has replaced (or possibly reinforced) the role of the famous Hurtigruten costal steamer as the backbone in communication along the coast.
