- 2024 June 19, map 1/2, page 27/30 - Wild camping is no longer allowed at Paradisbukta (no. 2).
Recently, it has been forbidden to pitch your tent at the beautiful Paradisbukta.
- 2024 June 13, map 48, page 99 - Langøyene (no. 88) may no longer be accessible by bicycle?
A cyclist reported that the staff of the ferry to Langøyene informed her that bicycles are only allowed on the ferry before 9:00 in the morning. That means you can't actually camp on Langøyene unless you also want to spend a whole day there. I have asked Oslo Municipality for clarification and as soon as I have an answer, I will let you know here. Until then: bear this in mind....

- 2024, June 19, map 1, page 27 - Route change in central Kristiansand
The change affects both the northbound and southbound route and the route is now the same for both. See map (click or tap to enlarge)
The centre of Kristiansand is under heavy construction and has become a long-term project. The current route is therefore both unsafe and regularly diverted. The route has now been modified so that you are not affected by these works. You can see it is not the shortest way, but it is an 'easy cycling' route. And you also pass close to the Odderøya headland, which includes the imposing Kilden, and Christiansholm festning. If you do want the shortest route, consider cycling along Rådhusgata (blue arrows). You may cycle across the square, but bear in mind that if the weather is nice, it can be very crowded and you may have to walk. There is also a free guarded bicycle shed at the square and a toilet (see flag on the map).
- 2024, June 19, map 2, page 30 - Minor route change just east of Kristiansand
After about 9.5 km from the start, a new road has been built. At this point, the route now turns left instead of straight ahead. With a bend, the road returns to the old road after more than a kilometre. The GPS track (KR1-Agder) has since been updated.

There will be no direct trains between Kristiansand and Oslo between June 24, 2023 and August 7, 2023, because of works between Kongsberg and Asker. Buses run from Nordagutu stasjon to Asker stasjon. It is not sure if bicycles are allowed on these replacement buses.
