Its been some time since an update! I headed south from Oslo down through Sweden camping in a few fantastic places, stopping in Malmo in the South to spend the day changing back to off road tyres at the suggestion of the guys at the dealership that the German cops would be all over me with the bald road tyres i had on. Back to the knobbies to cruise round the Autobahn in Germany, awesome! Rode over the bridge into Denmark. All my research told me that i would n...

Ive spent the last week visiting ski resorts all over the southern part of norway, meeting people and telling them that they should give me a job for the winter.

I had a telephone number of a friend of a friend of a friend in Petrozadovsk so when i arrived i called him and ended up doing some bike work at his workshop and through th...

Made it to St Petersburg no problems. Spent 2 days on the trip, camping by the highway overnight in a rubbish strewn bit of forest. On the way i met a russian guy from Moscow and a serbian guy riding to St Petersburg. I was meant to call them to meet up but before i had the chance i had bumped into them at a cafe anyway. This lead to a big evening with them and a bunch of their friends and much merriment. We rode out as a group of now 5 bikes to visit the former...
