After a surprisingly good breakfast in the youth hostel, we leave Nordkapp in the cold and wet to retrace our steps back south for about 100 miles. My fuel guage was showing empty when we got to the petrol station - about 0.2 litre left in the tank, phew that was a close thing. We cross into Finland and boy another riding treat on the empty roads. No great excitement however as the day wears on we realise that there are lots of trees in Finland and it all gets b...

Another early start on the road-6am as we hope to cover the 500 miles to Nordkapp today. Its cloudy and cold and starts to rain. Going is good for a start until we hit sections of gravelly road. Not too bad to get through thank goodness. We cover 120 miles before a petrol and warm up stop. Everybody is cold and I put my last item of clothing on - my waterproof leggings. We eventually cross into Finland for a while and then into Norway. Although going is still ...

An early 6am campsite start. It is still raining, miserable and cold. We have decided heading up the Norwegian coastline in not a good idea as weather and road conditions are going to make it slow going. The plan therefore is to cross back into Sweden. This plan turns out to be good one as we get into Sweden, the weather although still very chilly starts to dry up. Good choice from roads point of view as well, lovely sweeping bends roads getting slowly more de...

Sunshine, a fan tastic breakfast and wonderful views over the sea with a view of the Shorestead bridge. Not a bad start to the working day. A ride over the bridge and a visit to Copenhagen in the morning. We then ride into Malmmo, Sweden and make our way North via Gothenburg to a place called Fredrikstad in Norway. In a wooden cabin for the night, quite posh really. Cabin is for three of us (Steve Nick and myself) but I have a room to myself - joy! We covered a...

Not a very exciting days riding with 400 miles of mainly motorway but a means to an end. We have arrived in Nyborg in Denmark which is next to the sea with a fantastic bridge connecting the bits of the mainland. Weather today again has been fantastic with clear blue skies and warm sunshine. Our hotel The Storebaelt is right on the shoreline with great views of the bridge. All bikes in our running well and no mishaps. Time for a beer and a snack
