Title: Northern Lights ?
Post by: Cal Price on March 03, 2008, 04:16:55 PM
It's about this time I start to think about my summer trip(s) My local Suzuki owners club is organising a run to the south of France to see the new(ish) curved suspension bridge over the Tarn gorge which i quite fancy but France is a bit tame and I like to push myself a little further so I may well do two trips, this one with a small group and another "solo"

I wave been thinking of going along the "usual" route to Germany then up through Denmark crossing the causways and bridges into Sweden and pushing north to the Artic circle. I would probably do this in early June so it will be almost 24 hrs daylight that far north. Does anyone have experience of the sort of conditions I might expect at that time, any Canadians ? Scandanavians ? any advice at all ?

In the event of crap weather or other obstacles the alternatives are Eastern Europe, possible Budapest or maybe south to Portugal.
