I have finally put my photos on my website so feel free to go and have a look.
Taking into consideration all the other brilliant advice and tips already mentioned in this thread, my tips would be: -
- if you rush up to the north like we did, then really try to appreciate the vast wilderness while you’re there. I feel I only really grasped how special it was once I was further south again and it got more mountainous and populated.
- We intended to camp the whole time but riding in the rain followed by camping in the rain can get a bit soul destroying so be prepared to stay in the cabins every now and again (that’s not to say it rains all the time!)
- Try to go off the main routes and do some exploring of your own – that’s when we had some of our best rides.
- There are lots of beautiful picnic spots that are sign posted. These can sometimes feel a bit busy but as often as not you have it all to yourself. Make sure you’ve got the facilities to make a cup of tea/coffee – there is nothing more satisfying than stopping for a break by a beautiful lake/fjord/glacier/mountain pass and cooking up a nice hot cup of coffee!!!
- Keep reminding yourself where you are and what you are doing and the thrill never goes away!
