JCB - Yeah, I like the desolate big-mile areas. I must say the nicest area I've been on a bike (and probably off one!) is Lapland etc., in fact pretty much all of northern Norway in particular but also Sweden & Finland above the Arctic Circle. I went in Aug 2001, with the intention of reaching the circle and turning back, but it was too good to miss. Very sparse, but warm (honestly!), crystal clear blue skies, bright sunshine etc. Just a bit cold approaching Nordkapp for maybe 100 miles. I would thoroughly recommned it, but I think you have to be a bit lucky with the weather.
PROBLEM:
I'm really having trouble getting insurance at for Morocco. My Equity Red Star won't do it, and the only option I've come up with so far is to cancel this policy which I've just renewed (with a penalty), pay a £100 p/a higher premium to go with Norwich Union, who will cover me but charge an extra £20/week as well. So Penalty+£100+£40 total. Do you or anybody know of a better way?
