Potential Nordkapp Trip - Advice Needed

Hi there,
I'm thinking about riding to Nordkapp next year, around July (so I'm not too cold camping). I've plotted out a rough route which will take around 2 weeks from England. I've had a quick look at various campsites but if anyone has done this route before and could offer any recommendations it'd be much appreciated. I am planning to do the trip alone, however if any one is planning a similar trip around the same time and would like some company please get in touch as I may be up for riding with a group instead.

This is what I've got so far:

Nordkapp Trip
Day 1 – Campingplatz Münster - Laerer Werseufer 7, 48157 Münster (736km)
Day 2 – Stensager Strand Camping - Oluf Ravnsvej 16, Binderup Strand, 6091 Bjert (510km)
Day 3 – Charlottenlund Fort Camping – Strandvejen 144B, 2920, Charlottenlund (251km)
Day 4 – Farstanas Havsbad – Farsta 1, 153 91 Jarna, Sweden (566km)
Day 5 – Solbacken, Ornskoldsvik 300, 891 78 Bonassund, Sweden (583km)
Day 6 – Pajala Camping – Tannaniemi 65, 984, 31, Pajala, Sweden (579km)
Day 7 – Arctic Motell & Kautokeino Camping – Suomaluodda 16, 9520 Kautokeino, Norge (259km)
Day 8 – Nordkapp Camping – Postbox 361, N-9751 Honningsvag, Norway (341km)
Day 9 – Pajala Camping – Tannaniemi 65, 984, 31, Pajala, Sweden (579km) VIA E6, E75, 955
Day 10 – Kylpylasaari Camping, Nivalantie 61, 86600 Haapavesi, Suomi, Kartta (432km)
Day 11 – Naantali Camping – Kopenkatu 20, 21100 Naantali (563km)
Day 12 – Farstanas Havsbad – Farsta 1, 153 91 Jarna, Sweden (375km) 10h 2 ferries
Day 13 – Charlottenlund Fort Camping – Strandvejen 144B, 2920, Charlottenlund (566km)
Day 14 – Campingplatz Münster - Laerer Werseufer 7, 48157 Münster (616km)
Day 15 – Home (736km)

Thanks

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.
