If you got any questions regarding flying in the north, just ask. (Controller at ENDU/Bardufoss, and and if I ace the skilltest tomorrow PPL pilot in Bardufoss aeroclub!)

I do suggest you read this one carefully:
Guide to VFR flight in Norway

http://www.gap.no/fileadmin/publikas...e_vfrguide.pdf

Powerlines are a big thing safety wise, and I do prefer the M517 series of 1:250.000 charts myself. They are a bit more up to date then the ICAO 1:500.000 (Sadly the CAA has VFR charts as a low priority)



Route wise, I do recomend you fly via the Lofoten islands on the way up or down. (Ex: Depart Bodø/ENBO and stop at Svolvær/ENSH or ENLK/Leknes)
100LL is not allways awailable at the smaller airfields, so check in advance. The next with fuel can be quite some distance away.

If you fly through Norway we might talk, our TMA stradle the country pretty much.
