Norway enlightened

While researching our summer holiday, I found this chunk of information on the Norway Direct website:

Camping & Caravans
It is no suprise that with their love of the outdoor life, you are never far from somewhere to camp in Norway. If you plan to sleep in a tent, you may do so anywhere in forests or mountains except in cultivated fields for up to 48 hours, as long as your tent is no closer than 150 meters to the nearest house.

Nice people, the Norwegians. With an invitation like that, how could we decline the opportunity to pay them a visit?

We'll be hopping over to Denmark too, calling in at Billund for a day at the original Legoland, so I suppose I'll have to take some pics (or even grab some samples)  for our homegrown Lego fanatic.
