The General Idea

It has been on my mind for a few years to ride a motorbike to the Nordkapp. Now it's time to actually do it. Is it the ultimate ride in Europe? Possibly. I have ridden all over Europe and done a few trips in the USA. A few years ago, my friends and I rode up to the Arctic Circle and that set my mind rolling on the idea that going all the way to the "top" would be fun. But checking this idea out made me realise just how far it is - it's a long way!

Planning is progressing so more details on that later but for now here's the rough plan. Get bike. Pack. Set off from home (Walkington in East Yorksire). Ride, eat, sleep and ride some more. Get there (in June). Take lots of pictures. Have fun. Ride back. And share my experiences with anyone interested. I might even raise some money for charity but more of that later.

So this first blog entry is the official start. In the next entry, I'll tell you a little about the Nordkapp.
