I've seen a pic of a place in Norway...looked like a massive rock overhanging cliff over a fjord with very spectacular verticle drop. I think its a famous place with bikers tours etc, but whats it called and where is it...anyone?
p.s. sure I saw the pic in one of the threads on this website but I can't find it now.

Preikestolen!
The fjord are Lysefjorden, from Stavanger to Lysebotn.
The pulpit rock / Kjæragbolten are in the same area.
If you want to go to Preikestolen you have to walk the last part. (My mum told me it's not possible to ride a motorbike out there, and it's not legal either.)
But there are boats! Prebook the ferry from Stavanger to Lysebotn, and ride the funny road up to Ørneredet/the Eagles Nest = Øygardstøl, and continue over the mountain. I did that and I went back to Stavanger - I needed one day! You can go the other direction too, if you like.
And there are a campsite and a B&B in Lysebotn, but that is about all.
A quick tip for you:
Surf in my thread called ''Norway Norway Norway'' - I'll be suprised if there is nothing useful there!
Another quick tip:
Sometimes I write ''Norway'' in the search box for searching all over this forum, so if you write ''Norway'' in a thread somewhere, then I'll find your post, if you want me to read it!

Preikestolen
Stay near Stavanger and take the feery up the fjord under the Preikestoln and return by road - one of the best.
Some day I'm going to ride this road. Lysebotn. Some day.
Done that it great especially the airpin bed in the poorly / un-lit tunnel half way down.
dont forget when you are there tho, to do the five hour hike to the Kerag (boulder between two sheer cliffes) which is over the peaks in the top left of the picture.
Good campsite a bottom too where you can stay before catching boat to Preikestolen and that view - good and yet very small youth hostel to stay at, at the start of the walk to Preikestolen.

happy grandad

As I have now retired I am planning to go to Norway from the middle of June to early July. I want to camp in/on the Arctic Circle on midsummer's day/night. I would want to follow the coast as far north as possible as well as any other areas that are good biking country. Other than the above I have no idea what is going to happen. If I get bored with the motorbiking I will have a couple of days walking/mountain biking
At the moment I am going on my own and intend camping wherever possible. My riding habits tend to be an early start (around 8.30) and finish about 5 in the afternoon. I have a 1200GS and tend to ride on the quicker side of average.
I have never been to Norway before but have had wide experience of riding around the rest of Europe both on my own and with friends. If there is anyone who fancies joining me ... just get in touch.

Norway
Have been studying the various Norway posts with interest, as with many people i have long thought about heading over for a tour of sorts.
Those of you that have been before how far can you realistically get over a 2 or 3 week time frame? With a view to either camping or staying in hostels.
A work colleague from Denmark has suggested a loop up to Nordcap and then down via the coast roads.
I have been looking at the ferry routes and obviously for £350+ you can go from Newcastle- Norway return.
I have also looked at the possibility of Uk- Denmark- Norway ie Ferry from Harwich to Esbjerg, Hirtshals to Kristiansand tour Norway then return Stavanger- Newcastle with combined ferry costs equalling approx £300.
Have any of you taken this route or considered it?
Thanks
