Been a while since I was up at the top so to speak so weather permitting I fancy the long ride up over the Arctic Circle and see where I end up.
I've been up to the Nordkapp twice aswell as Grense Jacobselve and The Russian border and missed out on the Lofotens so I've booked the ferry from Newcastle to Ijmuiden and will have the pleasure of riding over that big expensive bridge into Sweden.
I've got a fortnight from 25th May and will ride north and see where I end up. I don't really want to freeze my balls off and my arse isn't made of asbestos so I doubt I'll be riding too many six hundred mile days but we'll see.
Fjord Norway is unbeatable but I'm always drawn north to the desolation of Lappland and at least travelling up through Sweden can shorten the distances a bit with the higher speed limit and straight(read boring) pine fresh flash forested roads which I rather like.
I remember seeing Arctic foxes, elk, reindeer, beaver and even some Muskox which were unusual so it'll be interesting to see what passes by in the landscape on this trip to the land of the midnight sun!
