I also did the Pilegrimsleden in summer 2016. Starting from Lilehammer, spread over 3 weeks or so, but I'm ancient. I did the same as you plan, resupplying every 2/3 days, and found it do-able. Camping all the time, mostly on waste ground/open land. Apart from the camp grounds & hotels on the...
Glad youve got a fellow pilgrim ! Wishing you all the best, & as I said before, thank you both for reawakening good memories. Alt fra Norge ! Alt fra Olaf !
Just reread what I wrote. A mistake, I didnt buy food at Fokstugu, I meant to say Hageseter. However, you can get food at Fokstugu according to their site.

Or maybe you can get a bus from Otta to somewhere like Hjerkinn to begin there...
I started from Lillehammer (came there on bus from Bergen), so was at the end of Lake Mjosa, on East shore. to begin. However I met a few who had started in Hamar, it seemed to have been a place worth seeing. Your plan sounds good then, the steamer trip should be memorable, and maybe the...
As you see theres an " Intersport" shop in the AMFI shopping mall in Otta, and this sports shop chain claims to sell Turmat. Theres another sports shop as well. I remember arriving very early & looking in a shop window that had hunters stuff. (apologies for my clumsy attatchment skills by the...
