    St Olavsleden

    Hi. I am considering this for July next year, solo. Is it good, I am scared about possible bear encounters. What about weather and packing list? Usually organise my own accommodations. Can I wing it with accommodations or should I use Nordic Pilgrim service? Would love some input. Thank you!
