OOOOOOOOOOOOohhhhh I'll redo my route then

whoooooopyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy see you in Aug

as for those wanting ferries,
ride----- use my place as a half way stop over I'm 5 hours from Calais and then you could make the Danish port in 7 for the Kristiansand party boat

Snaphappy,

No party boat any longer...just a catamaran that takes 2 and a half hour and Color Lines large speed ferries taking 3 hours and a quarter to Kristiansand.
if Your coming this way (towards/through Stavanger) why not ride the Ryfylkeroad to Sauda and over the mountain to Røldal and then over the old Post route towards Odda (NOT through the tunnels, but over the mountain... Beautiful view toward Folgefonna glacier when Your over the top)..... lovely scenery and nice narrow roads (mostly)...se picture ( taken by Leland Sheppard, CA.

It was a few years ago when I got the party boat, amazed they stopped, it was packed with Norwegian totty..................... excellent times

As for the roads we'll be heading down from Nordkapp to catch the boat back to Denmark. Which would you reccommend, out going is through Sweden via Putgarden and Denmark up to the Nordkapp and back down coastal Norway covering the Trolls Ladder and the Atlantic bridges, no real plans just want to enjoy the rough direction of travel

Hi, sorry for the late reply .

I would reccommend to take a tour towards the Lofoten islands (Lofoten Info-Guide - Your Official Lofoten Travel Guide ) ....like being in the Alps by the sea...then take a trip with the ferry from Moskenes to Bodø...then ride one of Norway finest... the coastal road (RV17) from Bodø to Steinkjaer.... then the Atlantic Ocean Road, Trollstigen road, the Ryfylke road...walk to the the Pulpit Rock (Pulpit Rock, a flat granite slab, 25 metres square, which juts out 604 metres (1,982 feet) above Lysefjord)_



...then to the sea level again and take the ferry into Lysebotn and ride the road....maybe even walk to the Kjerag bolt...a large rock nestled between two mountains 1000 meter above the Lysefjord...if Your nerves will take...jump onto the Kjeragbolt :

As said we have no plans set in stone it's just for the fun of it and the more fun the better
