Nordkapp & Back Jan/Feb 2012
A group of us are soon to leave for a run to Nordkapp (northernmost point in Europe mainland) where we'll be doing a mix of camping, cabins and plenty on driving on snow and ice.

If you're interested in watching how we get on then there is a blog here

Hopefully we'll be posting some nice piccs and there might be some 'exciting' things along the way, particularly if Mother Nature throws her worst at us.

Basic route is Norwegian coast going north to Nordkapp, a bit of Finland, then Sweden and Baltic coast returning south

I will put together some video and a photo album on my return

It's a shame they won't let you drive right up to Nordkapp visitor centre in winter, but will be a brilliant trip, look fwd to the reports. Original Member Pie n Pea Club.
