6 days bikepacking in Telemark

Bikepacking along the Telemark canal, or Telemarkskanalen, as it is known in Norway, riding for a total of 6 days in Telemark.

In late summer 2021, I had somehow convinced my editors at a newspaper magazine that it would be a good idea to write an article about riding the Telemark Canal, the more than hundred year old waterway linking the coast of southern Norway with the interior of Telemark county. It turned out my wife had some holiday left and wanted to come along, which meant bringing our Jack Russell terrier Banjo along too. Follow along as we ride our bikes deep into Telemark and back home, trying to bring back a story and photos for the reportage while enjoying the late summer in Norway.

Filmed with the Fujifilm X-T3 camera and the Fujifilm XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ zoom lens.

Photos from the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and the Fujifilm XF 18mm f/2 and the Fujifilm XF 35 f/1.4.
