July Norway Adventure!

[Tom Shepherd]

To All

I'm brand spanking new to this forum and I'm very excited to make use of it. I took my first motorbike trip in norway last summer covering the southern half including the western fjords, famous road like trollstigen and I'm thirsty for more.

I'm planning to ride for most of July 2023 starting near oslo and all the way up to nordkapp. I would like to cover the tet North of lillehammer then up to molde, then the coastal route to nordkapp. Depending on time I would like to tackle some tet in Sweden or just use the fast and direct roads back down to oslo.

A bit about me:
I'm English living in norway and working as an arborist, I love the outdoors and exploring. I passed my bike test one year ago and I ride a bmw 650gs dakar. I ride at a reasonable pace but not with too much haste. I covered upto 300km a day on country roads for last summers trip. Camping is okay but I plan to utilise cheap or free cabins this time around with some camping inbetween. I have a few relatives here (im half norge) and they are scattered throughout the country so free stays in Gol, bødo, andøya are possible. Starting from my small apartment is cool and you can stay here a few days before beginning. We have a decent workshop at our yard which can be used for basic repairs before heading off.

If you are not interested in offroad then the Tet parts are not a deal breaker, I can do this any time as I live a few hours away.

I like to break up the trip seeing interesting stuff or maybe even a hike or two. I'm easy going and want to go with 1-4 others. Happy to learn from others and do random stuff like fishing with a in hand.

Send me an email and we can have a chat about things.

Cheers and safe riding.
