Morning walk...

 

I believe that’s Echuca on the border of NSW and Victoria. I was there in 2014 on the Emmylou. The captain was Darren, from Newcastle UK and he let me have a steer of the vessel.

I've been to Norway in the car, and that was great. We camped and stayed in Hytter. But several years later the ex FIL invited me for a sailing trip to Norway, delivering a yacht. We left Lymington marina in a force 8, and when we radio'd in to Dover coastguard, stating our destination their reply was "Yacht Islander, are you sure?"
Anyhoo, several days later we sailed underneath Preikestolen near Stavanger. Impressive. But it was to get better. We sailed up the complete length of Sognefjorden, then back to Fläm to leave the yacht their for the owner. The views from the water were just breathtaking. Especially in Geiranger. And the catabactic winds you get in those fjords are quite exciting...
From Fläm we took a fantastic railway trip to Bergen, and from there the Ferry back to Britain. Magical trip...

 

A long way away for you, mate!

 

I'm afraid not, mate... got all left behind when the mrs. left... or taken away, rather...

 

Nordkapp was planned last April .. Next year... maybe..

 

I'd love to go to Nordkapp on the bike...

 

I'd love too, but in April we planned to go by car with madame.
From there on a bike, it's a bit too much for her

 

I see your point mate- got to keep madame happy Norway is great in a car too, although I never got further North than Trondheim...

 

Well, you got further North than me mate... and like you said, one day... we've got time yet!

The F.I.M. rally in 1995 was at Malselv between Narvic and Tromso in Norway,I went from Newcastle to Bergen on the Trophy towing a small trailer that opened out into a tent. after the rally several of us decided that as we were so far north we might as well go to Nordcap to make a round tour. We camped at the most northerly campsite in Europe and around 10 in the evening rode on to Nordcap where the place had only just begun to get organised as a tourist destination. We waited for the sun to go as low as it could to take photos but the sun went behind low cloud and although we waited until about 2am the sun stayed behind cloud. I have been back to Scandinavia several times but not this far north again.
