Well - if you mean in Norway and youre coming in from Sweden/southeast, or use Oslo as a starting point - you can just follow R E6 all the way north through the whole if Norway south-north wise. And then deviate to Nordkapp the last 120-130 km from Olderfjord.

But belive me - its soon too late to recommend to go there this year. The absolutely latest I recommend anyone to go there is 15-20 september. After that (and maybe before that...) nighttempratures can drop to below zero, snow can fall, campingspots close for the season etc etc.

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.
