Better save that in a cache before someone from Microsoft Europe has to make the journey. I tried a couple of other Norway cities, but the Trondheim/Haugesund pair seems to be unique.
Maybe people leaving Haugesund just have to visit London.
Late-breaking news: a city near Haugesund, Arabrot, gives the same long route.
