Tomorrow I will ride up to Cambridge to meet up with Funners, and then run some nice Essex twisties down to Harwich for the 17:45 sailing to Esbjerg, Denmark.

That gets in at 13:00 on Saturday, then there's a 200 mile run up to Hirtshals on the northern coast, for another sail over to Kristiansand, Norway which will hopefully see us there late on Sat or in the early hours of Sunday.

Then we set off on a 7 day 2500+ mile route over mountains and through fjords taking in some of the most spectacular hairpins and scenary in Europe:

before returning to Denmark on the 4th July, and taking a bimble along the coast back to Esbjerg for the ferry back to Harwich on the 5th, finally blatting home on the 6th.

We are not that organised tbh (I packed today:augie). Booked a couple of ferries and planned a route (from scanning the net and me having been before through work), that's pretty much it. Everything else will be pretty much left to chance. We are taking bivvy bags and tents so accommodation will be where we drop. We both have food on board in case that's away from civilisation, and a spare FPC and EWS and BMW recovery number but that's about as far as contingencies go.:D
 
Adam......Rosie and I are less than a mile from the ferry and we'll have the kettle on if you fancy a brew :thumb2

:thumb2Aim for the middle of Harwich , go down the slight hill over the crossroads/traffic lights past Boots on your left and stop there...you'll be 300 yards away. Haven't got any Hobnobs in I'm afraid :(
 
I was wondering when you were back...

Great photos, but god do you put me to shame! My camera's travelled many places but I often forget to actually use it :blast

you got some really excellent shots there!

TBH I was quite slack, cos I had a helmet cam on too. Funners got about twice as many as me. :D

Good Vid :clap

We didn't have time to do the Lysebotn :(

You didn't happen to get a vid of the Trollstiggen road did you ? That would be stunning if the quality and weather were like the Lysebotn vid :thumb :beerjug:

Yes I did. I will get it up sometime, but I am struggling with editing it at the mo. Windows movie maker plays it just fine, but when I save it post edit it won't play (and the clip is too long to fit on youtube as it stands).:nenau

The weather was like that for the whole week:thumb except for one 2 hour period near Trondheim where it turned to monsoon season.:blast

If it's shit quality when you watch it try again in half an hour as it takes a while to process completely on youtube:)
