Ireland to as far north in Norway as possible

Wasn't sure whether to put this here or transport.

My bike is near Cork, Ireland, I just got back from a 5 week uk trip and I'm already thinking about next summer

What I want to do is get me and my bike as quickly as possible to as far north in Norway as possible so I can putt putt back. Oh, also cheaply as possible.

Ideas?

Sat with a pint in BKK, not doing much so I thought I would have a look for you

At the moment there does not seem to be any Direct Ferries from the UK to Norway....you can how ever get to Denmark and then from there you can get into Norway. I might get corrected on this but could not find one.

Ferry to Norway Campaign: UK to Norway on the Ferry This is the latest on the UK to Norway campaign where it looks like a new firm 'British Scandinavian Ltd' is trying to make it happen

have a look at this also for ideas Travel to Norway - Official Travel Guide to Norway - visitnorway.com

I think there is a guy on this site who has his own website about biking in Norway...it might be worth dropping him a line

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
