The route part 1

So what route will you be following soon to be bearded Blokes? I hear you ask. Well, here's an outline of what we're planning.
We'll be leaving Eynsham about 12 midday on Monday 4th July. We want to be in Harwich for our first ferry by 4pm or so. We'll get a good rest on the ferry as it's 18 hours to Esbjerg in Denmark. We'll be under a little more pressure in Denmark as we have to get to another ferry in Copenhagen by 4.30. Another overnight rest follows though as it takes 14 hours to get to Oslo. The harder riding starts then.
We should be riding out of Oslo by 9am at the latest with a first days aim of getting a good 100-200 miles past Trondheim. That'll make for a 450-500 mile day. Good job we'll have had two good rest nights. We've decided to go for this big mile first day so we can take it a little steadier in the northern part of Norway.
That should leave us with about 350 miles per day for the next 2, the Thursday and Friday, to take us to Jon and Pam's. Pam is Frank's sister. I've been to stay in the winter months and I'm really looking forward to saying hello in summer. It'll be 24 hour sun while we're there.
We'll stay Stay with them until Monday morning. Or at least Frazer and I will. Frank is staying another 5 days or so. Bye bye Frank!
