: ''[[User:markus|markus]] is a dude and hitched from Stavangar to Mandal (1 day), Mandal to Oslo (1 day) Oslo to Trondheim (1 day) Trondheim to Mor e Rana (1 day) and Mor e Rana to Karlsøya (1 day) sequentially. Long rides and easy hitching, some big waits outside Oslo. English speaking was seen as a good thing and several drivers told me they dropped silent, drunk or drugged people quickly. He also hitched back from [[Karlsøya ]] to [[Tampere ]] in 1 day and night non-stop, but thinks it shoudl should take 2 days for any normal hitcher.
: ''[[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 non-white 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.''
