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.

Hi RachelAnne,
I made Nordkapp twice (2009 solo and 2013 with my wife). Your plan is similar to mine. If you are interested I can send you (or any other else) my track log file starting in Hamburg (I got there by DB Autozug) and then rode Danmark to Hirtshals and took ferry to Kristiansand.
Best
Paul
