Hi, did somebody theSaga Trail (or RON trail, which share almost the same path at the beginning) in Norway? I want to hike it at the end.of August/beginning of Septemberamd I am not sure how much moskitoes or other blood thristy flying creatures should I expect. Will I be ok in a tarpent without a mesh?

I've found one hiker's description of SAGA where they mention sleeping in cabins every night. Are you sure you need a tent?

I have found the same web :) Yes, I do want to sleep in a tent, you can camp amywhere in Norway if it is atleaat 150m from nearest building... thats why the question..

Ah ok! 😀 in that case it's a question of determining likely bug pressure and your protection against it, if any. which meshless tarptent do you have?
