Last year me and a friend went on a month long driving trip to southern europe (down through italy to greece and back up via the adriatic coast). Wild camping in hammocks wherever possible. We had a great time and yesterday he suggested that we do a similar thing this year in Norway, Finland and Sweden probably in August or September.
I enjoy a bit of bushcrafting but I'm not obsessive by any means and just see it as a matter of being comfortable in the great outdoors more than anything else (and it's a way of reducing the load I need to carry for wild camping). I also enjoy a bit of hiking . . . or to be honest I'd more call it strolling - I enjoy a good stroll (say 3 to 5 miles) and when on a dedicated walking trip per se usually aim for something like 10 to 12 miles a day.
My friend doesn't want to take a car this time so we'll be using public transport and having to carry everything. He suggested buying some sort of "area rail pass" which he says we can get (I'm not sure what he's talking about but it sounds reasonable).
I understand mossies and midges can be a problem but our dd travel hammocks have good netting and we'll be taking along some repellent.
Can anyone recommend nice or interesting places or areas.
I'm looking for general advice/comments/cautions.
