Did a roadtrip last year and made it up to Trollstigen and the Atlantic Road with many other spots, definatly worth a visit up that way.
Awesome! care to share your routes, costs, hotels etc..? any pics? andy

The basic route outline was
Hull - Rotterdam overnight ferry
Drove through the Netherlands into Germany and stayed the night at Quickborn just above Hamburg
Back on the road and drove through Denmark where i camped at Hirtshalls ready for the morning ferry to Langesund
Image
Drove into Norway and stopped for a 2 nights at a cabin by the side of a lake about an hour from Gol
Image
Image
I drove to Gol early to meet everyone else who was coming on the roadtrip.
Image
This was then the route we followed through norway for 3 days
Image

Dalsnibba View point
Image

Trollstigen
Image
Image

The atlantic Road
Image
Image

Some other stops

I managed to do it fairly cheap as when i drove up to Norway i stayed in camping, air bnb and cheap hotels ect.
The guys i was meeting up there were mostly from Norway or Sweden so disnt have quite as far to go.

Will see if i can dig out more info on the places we stayed

An incredible view spot. Although i recommend not trying to get onto it midday it gets very busy.

Yes it was quite the roadtrip.
If you make it up to that area then i highly reccomend it.
My favourite view spots were Dalsnibba and Trollstiegen.
