Backcountry flying / camping in Norway

Hi everybody,

my wife and I would like to fly to Norway some when during late summer 2010.

We thought that it might be fun to take camping gear with us and do some remote airstrip hopping, if possible combined with some hiking and fishing.

What do you think? Is this a good idea or is this uncommon in Norway and we should simply stay at hotels?
If 'yes' - could you possibly recommend some airstrips which are neither too difficult nor too short as we will come with a standard Cessna 172.
Which charts do you recommend for flying the small airstrips? The 1:500000 ICAO charts, which will hopefully be published this summer or the M517 charts?

We would also be interested in participating in a fly-in. If you have any recommendations, please advice.

As we come from Germany, the southern half of Norway is the area to which we want to fly.

Cheers,

Oliver
