Hi travellers,

Wish to travel to the North Cape, Norway, this summer. Duration is at least four weeks, better six, departure not before mid of June.

The route is not fixed at all, but I've distinct visions about the surface of the streets. That means wherever it's possible to avoid the E-roads, rather to take as many as byways, even some toll roads and several ferries. Namely the Peer Gynt vegen, the Atlanterhavsvegen, the way across Aurlandsfjellet and through the Grimsdalen valley, the Aursjøvegen and not least the Trollstigen. (BTW, I took some of the dirt roads two years ago on my way back from Inari (FI) and it was awesome.) The remaining distance to Nordkapp should be chosen by weather or mosquito pollution.

To refund the money investet in tolls and fees I prefer camping or low budget accommodations.

I'm 44, male and my bike is a F800 GSA. I'm completely flexible in terms of departure time and starting point if somewhere in northern Poland, Germany or Denmark, respectively southern Norway if you're from Britain and want to take the DFDS cargo vessel. It would be nice to hear from anyone as long as the main goal mentioned above is agreed.

Cheers,
Holger

Hi,

I was thinking about same route, up to the Nordkapp. I can start ~15th of July and have up to 4weeks available.
Pls let me know, if term is ok for you.
I was at Nordkapp 2yrs ago - fantastic place, want to repeat
I'm 39yo, 1200gs, love campsites, from Poland, can start from any place in EU.

Hi Jackal,

glad to hear from you. I've uploaded some GPX tracks from the core of my planned route through central Norway for you -- and for everyone else who wants to join -- to my private storage:

As you can see, there is no strait way heading north, 'cause the journey is the reward. Still interested?

Best,
Holger

Hi,
Im out of my gpx reader now (will check it tomorrow), but "no strait way" sounds very good.
I can start 17th of July.
2yrs ago I started from PL1st of September, and had spectacular weather up in the north - was very lucky, I guess
Adieu!

There are several sites to import gpx tracks. My favorite is OpenRouteService

Best,
H.

Hi,
I leave Rotterdam on august 1st to Nordkapp.

I can meet somewhere in Germany.

Let's have contact: email: djinsital@gmail.com.

I have also a R 1200 GS

Hi,

Track looks very nice
Im definitely in, but not sure if i can spent 4weeks. 2-3 weeks is more possible.

I should be home at 15th of July and want to start as soon as possible - it means abt. 17th.
Lets be in touch!

Hi Folks,

It's nice to hear from you, Djin!

@jackal: Departure around mid of July would be appreciated by me too. But I'm a bit confused. Do you want to spend 18 days to reach the Cape and afterwards three to travel back? My offered tracks aren't very precise in question of the daily distance (one track file should be equivalent to one day), but more then 24 hours are hardly to save. Daily distance should not exceed 400 to 500 km, depending of the surface of the road. And ferry times (crossing the fjords) are scheduled.

Maybe you could tell me your favorite place to meet. Mine would be Świnoujście. Why heading (slightly) east from my location to reach a destination in the northwest? As mentioned before, the trip is the reward and I've no joy at all to ride 800 km on German and Danish motorways, to reach a region where driving is more pleasure. Riding through the land of Bullerbü and Karlsson-on-the-Roof offers an incentive for the core of the journey. Feel free to upload your own tracks to the space above.

@Djin: I've no idea how to join each other. I like to ride earlier, but if you're the iron man, who reaches the Nordkapp in three days, meeting should be possible ;-) On the other hand, if Jackal wants to ride later, departing at August would be fine by me too. Also you are invited to upload some tracks.

Generally I'm not very experienced in playing travel agency. So please both of you, help me out!

Best,
Holger

Hello Sirs,
I am from Finland and if somebody wants to have info about the routes here (from the North Cape to Helsinki) I can help. I am leaving to Norway at the end of July, but unfortunately only for a few days and somewhere mid Norway.

You can write directly to me (juhahytonen@me.com) which is the easiest way to contact. Occasionally I will also follow this forum, but not every day.

Cheers,
-juha-
