Andenes to moskenæs
Stage four begins with a ferry that deposits us on Andenes, most famous for it’s rocket launch site. Our route heads southwest, following the peninsula that is Lofoten. Scenic and very busy roads, with tourists eager to visit fishing villages, dramatic mountains and pristine beaches. Little do they know that the sea is a nippy 5 degrees C all year round.

Nappstraumtunnelen
Route: E10
Length: 1776m
Lighting: Yes
Comments: The tunnel connects the two islands of Flakstadøya and Vestvågøya and carries a fair amount of traffic. The road surface is concrete and can be slippery in wet conditions, especially at the bottom. There’s a side pavement that can be used on the ascent. The Ballstadgutt ferry is a preferred alternative.
