Somerset, UK to Nordkapp, Norway - June/July 2016
I am planning a little trip - some 5200 miles - from Somerset, UK to Nordkapp, Norway in June/July 2016.
My basic plan is 18 to 20 days total.
Get to Hirtshals at the end of day 2 and either cross on the
Hirtshals/Langesund ferry on day 2 or first thing day 3 - approx. 500 miles/day.
Slow ride up the west coast on Norway - averaging probably 250 miles/day.
Slightly faster run back down through Finland to (probably) Turku then take the overnight ferry to Stockholm.
Stockholm to Somerset in 3 days - approx 500 miles/day.
As and when I feel like it I'm thinking about a day off or just touring the immediate area.
My initial idea is camping but using cheap accommodation if the weather is particularly bad or when I get fed up being under canvas.
The benefit of your experience would be much appreciated.
