[/center]My partner Kate had a nan that died of this very cancer a while back, who she was very close to.
In the next couple of months Kate is having the operation to remove her ovaries as she has a higher risk than normal of getting the same cancer.
So to that end I thought it would be a good charity to support as it directly effects me.
The ride will consist of a 14 day trip from Eynsford in Kent (My home village)
Across the channel into France then ride Eastwards across Holland and Germany and then turning Northwards into Denmark. Then I will ride into Sweden and head up to Norway to Mo I Rana, where the Arctic Coast Highway starts.
Then I will travel up the complete road right up to the most Northly point I can get(Nordkapp).
Then I will come back Via either Sweden or Finland, haven't decided yet.
This will be a journey of some 5,000 miles in 14 days, with a mixture of wild camping and campsites, sorry no hotels etc, as this is an Adventure.
I will plan to do this is July as this will be one of the warmest months in Norway that I can do it in.
I am open to company as this for me will be a one in a lifetime adventure and I don't mind sharing it with others.
Having said that I will still do it on my own.
Daily mileages are around the 300-350 mile mark, so at a steady 50mph that is 6 hours riding, more than enough time to stop and take pictures, stop and eat for anyone.
Don't forget the further North you go the more daylight you get (Winter sun)
I do have a dedicated webpage for this that I will add to as the planning gets going, already planned a route and various camp site options.
But this is all about adventure!!!!! So carrying all my gear with me, and will only pick up bits and bobs of food as I go.
cheers Si
Mods can you sticky this for me.... ta
