Even though ''haike'' is not too common in Norway, Norwegians are very likely to pick you up and can be very friendly and helpful. People have a tendency to always be in a rush on weekdays. The main thing to be aware of is the rapidly shifting weather, so be prepared for anything, as they say in '''Norway''': ''There is nothing called bad weather, only bad clothing''. Most people speak [[England|English]] well enough for reasonable communication. One thing that makes hitching easy in '''Norway''' is that almost all of the population lives near the [[E6]] road, which extends from [[Italy]] to almost all the way north, so it's pretty hard to get lost, as long as you are headed the right way. Hithing is ''much'' easier in the beautiful north (at least in the summer), where many locals hitch regularly to commute.

:''[[User:ReZz|ReZz]] is a dude, and he has found that [[Trondheim]] one of the worst places to hitch from. Still, he has done it, even in the winter, all the way to [[Oslo]] in the South and [[Hammerfest]]/[[North Cape]] in the extreme North. Sadly, I must say that one steadfast rule of hitchhiking has to be amended. Although I am a polyglot and love language, I must say that if you are not white, speak English to people. Norwegians are extremely wary of foreigners and any nonwhite who speaks English is assumed to be a refugee. Still, a lot of white women tell me that truckers are very friendly and that the hitching is great if you go out to the shipping areas around Dyre Halsels Gate and north of Stradveien. This has not worked for me. They love foreign tourists, though, as long as you keep telling them that you love Norway.''

:''[[User:abstorz|abstorz]] is a dude, and hitched from Trondheim to Oslo and back in March/April. Both trips took one day. From Oslo he was able to hitch a ride onto the highway behind the tunnel in the area of Etterstad, from Trondheim he took the bus to Heimdal and walked another couple of miles to a bus stop. Once on the highway everything went fine. He took the route over Oppdal/Dombås. Check [[Liftershalte]] for exact locations, or find better ones!
