I live on a farm around 100 km north of Oslo, if you head this direction dont hestitate to tell. I have plenty of space for tenting and a pretty extensive farm garage (for fixing my XT 600)

Nah, hopefully he carried on over the top of Norway into Russia, went RTW and is now on his second of third lap ![MC Happy](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/mchappy.gif) .
On the subject of Norway my one bit of advice would be to fit new tyres. BMW in Narvik or Tromso (I forget which) carry a decent selection for idiots who forget that ice proof and gravel surfaces wear part worn tyres like crazy and so turnup with the cords showing, but I wouldn't reccomend this approach!

Just to keep the information rolling - we did up to Nordkapp last year - Hutte are great for when the weather is foul.........generally the costs were about £40 per night (most would hold 4 people)
Cost to get onto Nordkapp - £20 and same to get back off - I'd recommend North Cape Cabins as a place to stay.
Other than that, other camp sites are here Untitled Document
My personal favourite was a small campsite near Utne - you could dip your toes into the fjord almost from the tent - and lean back to grab ripe cherries off the trees

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
