Steve928 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 ..in Norway. We were supposed to be heading over there again in a few week's time in our new van but no chance now of course. It's interesting to see though from various webcams I've been watching that their season does seem to be getting going. Very nice it looks too, sitting out in April on the Atlantic Road under the sunshine of a Scandinavian high pressure system. Oh well, perhaps next year.

stevec176 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Very nice but I prefer to be alive when this is all over. I can wait, maybe they are long term travellers with no where else to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 This summers 'big trip' was to be the north cape, CV-19 has put paid to that even if lockdown was lifted tomorrow, as my planned hip operation was postponed and by the time it's done and I've recovered there will be precious little time left for the trip.

Steve928 Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 We were very fortunate to get to the North Cape on a sunny June day last year and enjoy the midnight sun. It's a weird touristy place and the parking is rubbish but it's a memorable destination all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Even though it was 12 years ago our 7000 mile 8 week trip to be at the Nordkapp on midsummers night remains our favourite holiday in over 50 years of touring. The 500 or so photos are my screensaver of choice and Norway, Sweden and Finland are, or were then, a touring heaven with so much freedom to roam and stop responsibly overnight. We stayed at some amazing locations and awoke to some fabulous views and experienced everything from hail and snow in Norway, mozzies the size of sparrows in Finland to a 35 degree heatwave in Sweden. I am so glad we made the effort and if you get the chance and love the open road and non site stopovers - take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve928 Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 The E6 North from Alta across the tundra to the Nordkapp was down to tarmac in the sunshine of last week but it's looking a bit dicey again now.. For those like myself who'll be missing out on a Norway trip this year there are some great webcams on this site - you can at least enjoy a virtual tour of the country. https://www.webcamsinnorway.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
