Hello PaulJ & fireboomer!
Just "called back" to this thread to see what's going on. I've just got to agree with you on your comments about the friendliness of the Norwegians/Swedish/Finnish - they're _really_ nice people. Personally I always seem to get on best of all with people in the remoter areas, i.e. further north in Scandinavia, they always seem more down-to-earth. And even better (with my language skills) they all spoke impeccable English!
I'm sure you've spent enough time studying maps to realise, but some of the distances up in the north are plenty big enough without deviating onto _too many_ dirt tracks, unless you have a lot of time and really want to. The main roads up there are not straight/plain/boring (except perhaps the coast road in Sweden, but certainly not the E6 "Arctic Highway",) as we might find further south in our continent.
Good luck anyway! Me, I'm busy planning my ride to SE Algeria for March/April, providing the political situation isn't too suspect.
