Scandinavia in May, June, July
 

I am wondering if there is anyone interested in riding to Norway, Sweden and Finland this coming summer (Late May to Mid August). I normally ride alone, but have had great luck meeting fellow riders on my trips, so I might be interested in sharing at least part of this Scandinavia trip with another rider or two.


I am an American who keeps a DL650 in Germany and go to Europe to ride each summer. Last summer I went to Poland, Turkey, Greece, Etc. My blog is Ron's Retirement Adventure


I hear that the Scandinavian countries are very expensive, so I am considering camping (although staying in hotels would certainly not break my budget).


I am one of the presenters at the Horizons Unlimited meeting in Germany May 14 -- 17, and am thinking I will start heading toward Denmark and Norway after that meeting is over. However, I am totally flexible and do not actually plan out my trips.


Cheers,
Ron

Let me know when you're in Norway - maybe I can join you for a leg or two. Oh, and check out the shoestring tips section of my Ride Norway webpage - Ride Norway | All you need to know for your motorcycle trip to Norway.

Thanks Indu. I appreciate you sending me the link to your Norway tips. I will certainly check it out.


Cheers, Ron

Ron,

I'm actually planning on Scandinavia later in the summer (probably September time frame), however I have often been known to be talked into totally changing my plans when a better idea comes up.!

Anyway, I'll be at the HU meeting in Germany so we can talk about it over eine bier (or two).

Norway is expensive, but offers beautiful scenery in the costal areas. Sweden and Finland are cheaper, about the same as Germany. Swedish crown has lost quite a bit value to the dollar, so as an American its cheaper now than in many years. In Sweden wild camping is legal, which is a great budget alternative. Drop me a message if in Stockholm and need help with anything. Departing on adventure to south Europe in beginning of August.

If you cross over with ferry Helsingør (Denmark) to Helsingborg (Swe), let me know if you need info or a place to stay

More later you do north Finland and Norway. The less mosquitoes you have. I will do Lapland beginning of August, so if you are in that area that time, send a message.
