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

Hi Holger,

Hi guys,

Last time i got to Nordkapp via Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, ferry Tallin-Helsinki, Finland. It was quite boring - flat, straight roads.
This time my plan was to get it much faster - via ferry (Swinoujscie-Ystad could be a way) and than explore Norway/Sweden inland.
Up to a 400-500km/day - totally agree. Generally speaking, I'm very flexible and also for me RIDE is reward. I love riding and need no any goal ahead. When on the ROAD, i'm planning my "next-day-section" evening time day before.

@Holger: it's possible, due to time shortage (really up to 3weeks) i will not reach Nordkapp i had to come back earlier. I wouldn't like to do that - but from other hand i will have no pressure to get there by any means - RIDE is reward itself

@Djimny: i want to start much earlier than 1st of August, my vacation ends 12 of August...

I will upload some nice road proposition - Im in contact with Norwegian guy, who knows a lot about south Norway mountain serpentines - im working on it.

regards.

Hi Jackal,

what do you think about the night passage (two carriers) from Swinoujscie to Ystad. A cabin reservation (as well as for the whole passage) is not mandatory and if the weather plays well, we could try to sleep on deck. Two years ago it was tolerated by Polferries and I slept great, but they bought a new vessel this year and could be a bit more fuzzy. Strategy: Play the role of a thumb German alien and you won't be touched. For the same reason we'll have no trouble at all to meet us at the ferry port. I bet we are the only ones travelling by bike, if I loose the bet, I'll pay the bill for the first and the last Żywiec. I promise!
