Seeing as though I am only on dial up here I have been putting off downloading pictures and putting a report together.

Anyway enough excuses here it is, Please remember the quality of the pics may be a bit dubious but its only captured from the Video of the trip ;)

Two of us, One on a KTM 950 Adventure and one on a BMW 1100GS set off last week of June for 15 days.

The Mission was to Travel from Newcastle to Stavanger, Then travel through the Fjord region of Norway upto the Lofoten Islands to see the Midnight Sun. Then Back onto the Mainland and head East through Lappland before embarking on 450 Miles of Gravel Road Adventure through the Swedish and Norwegian Forestry, then rejoin the Road system and head back to Stavanger.

3500 miles in 15 days

The following Images are taken in the Arctic from Lofoten Islands into the Swedish Forestry

Found an Easy way to cross the Rivers

Thats It I am afraid, Like I said the Video has been done for a long while now and Is over an hour long so Cant see me ever getting it downloaded anywhere.

Video was only ever meant to be a memento of the trip anyway
 
The 1100 Faired brilliantly to be honest.

There were one or two other occasions that I did not dare capture on video due to JOhnnys overall demeanour at the time :augie:D

Hardly a mark on the thing or the Rider. They both bounce well thats for sure.
