Yeah Qantas QF9 ex Melbourne had a diversion the other day, on board engine fire (of sorts). Could be a worry, if the other 3 stopped mid flight, I'd be stuck up there all night and never get down! Are you going over the Bridge to Nowhere in the province of Molde on the Atlantic Road?



The two shots are one year and 18,000 km apart!

Hi Oz. I'm at Paul and Serena's and reckon I'll start toward the coast today. Likely cross at Dover in about 3 days. You are around half way up, yes?

Keep us posted!
I'll be back at work now, might be able to "watch you pass through" south Norway in the afternoon or possibly during weekends (some family obligations have high priority)

Currently in UK, plan to cross channel Sunday or Monday.

Do you have an approximate itinerary for your way up north?

Yeah, set the Tom Tom at Calais for Nordkapp and do about 600 or so k's a day. Will almost for sure go to Svolvaer, and then follow the instrument.

Where's home today?

Where's home today?

In just north of Oslo. Been to Geiranger and up past Trondheim.

It's been bucketing down here mate. Big storms most days. I think my time in the northern part of Europe is bone this trip. Between the Scotland and the riding here I reckon I've had 3 dry days riding. So I'm heading south to dry out lol. Safe travels

ok mate. As you can see I'm in Dover and crossing today or tomorrow. Then NORTH!!

It's a shame to do 600 km per day after Trondheim!
Sounds like you're in a hurry, but I'll try to follow this thread.

[Huzo]

Whoops ! That's a bit embarrassing, in my original post, I said I'd make sure I was at the Calais clock tower @ Midday. I turned out to be 10 minutes early, you just cannot trust some blokes...

[Huzo]

Maybe we've passed. I'm on the border of Germany and Denmark. Tomorrow 500 k to Hirtshals by lunch, then over to Norway. Little trip up the west coast and bang!!!

Hi Huzo,
You'll arrive in Kristiansand on Monday, then going north along the west coast, right?

If the Guzzi doesn't crap itself, that's the plan, yes.

In the unlikely case you should be passing through Bruges, Belgium, you are welcome.  After confirmation in writing, weekdays only and between 9 -17 am/pm. We can discuss any fee later on  Just kiddin' of course, any time, any place.  You name it ;-)

[Xlratr]

@Huzo. It would be great to see some pictures on your travels through Norway. I love that place.

You had a thread going about inserting pictures a while back. If you're travelling and have a smart phone, I find by far the easiest way is to use the Tapatalk app. It's a great tool for reading the forums of your choice and pasting pictures is a doddle! Just click on "+" while your writing your post and choose the picture from your photo library. Just a suggestion.

Shit !!! I went past the sign on the way up. Thank you. You may regret the offer. Sometimes I scour the posts to see where the offers were. Currently in Mc Donald's on their Wi Fi near Hirtshals

Hmmmm. Thanks Exxie, it's never as easy as you guys make it look, I was born in 1958 remember, but I'll try. Anyway, there'll be heaps of shots from Norway since I've learned how, I take them on my I pad and post in the evening. Glad you're interested. Dunno where Ozrider went...

Keep your thumb in that position and I just might !!! You must be sleeping with that computer, I still haven't finished my small fries.. C U later...

Well I'll be staying on the east side, but I'll be watching the weather forecast for the west coast and hope you're in luck and not washed away.
Am planning a getaway at the end of the month, hopefully to the west coast, but will try to avoid rain.
Have a nice trip, remember no speeding!

[Huzo]

The weather window is half open, so I'm going to get it in while I can (as it were).. Here's a bit of the goings on ferry wise from Hirtshals to Norway.

[pebra]

Yeah, you're in a hurry all right if you took the fast ferry from Hirtshals?
An Australian built catamaran with a top speed of 48 knots, although probably not quite that fast in regular service.
2 1/4 hours trip now, when I was young I believe it took all day, or over night.....

[Huzo]

Hmmm. Primary goal is to operate within the weather window. No rush, will savour whatever comes up but have just set Tom Tom for Svolvaer and will obey that. Want to take a little trip to Sicily after Nordkapp then France and Spain.

I warmly recommend, instead of taking the E39 from Kristiansand towards Stavanger, take the 9 north until you reach Rysstad, then westwards over the mountains towards Stavanger.
Lovely roads, and you get the chance to go down to Lysebotn at the bottom of the Lysefjord. Possible to take the ferry on one of the most spectacular fjords, going past Pulpit Rock, and in any case plenty of hairpins down to Lysebotn!

Ok bugger it, I will ! Thanks very much. Just stuffing my face with a beautiful bread roll outside Kristin sad. After I guts myself, I'll jam that into Tom Tom

[pebra]

Just checked the schedule for the ferry (I'm at work), seems only relevant departure from Lysebotn is 07.20 tomorrow morning.
And I forgot to tell you to watch out for sheep!
