Trip around the Scandinavian countries
Hi,
I’m looking for a riding companion for a trip, some after August this year “2005” for a run through the Scandinavian countries. I’m initially looking at catching a ferry from Newcastle over to either Bergen or Stravanger in Norway and then Island hopping in an easterly direction all the way up to the Russian border. There after heading north, staying this side of the Russian border all the way up to the northern coast and then swinging a left “West” and following the coast back around to Bergen in Norway, or a convenient ferry crossing point back to UK. My first thoughts for a route is Bergen to Oslo to Stockholm to Heisinki/Kriistenstad to Koiovesi National Park to Kajanai to Inan, then up to the coast and Norway, follow it to the west passing through Hammerfest, Tromso, Trondheim and back to Bergen.
I’m looking at a ratio of, 3 days camping to 1 days B&B to help keep the costs down and stay clean!!. I would be looking at a duration of say 10 to 14 days. My start date is flexible and will depend of my work schedule closer to the time?
I did a solo run down to Morocco last December on my “Africa Twin”, so my bike is pretty much ready to go, so hopefully I just need a repack for colder climes.
Most of the above is just a wish list and all is subject to change.
Best Regards
Paul M
