Tirpitz Memorial Ride. Cancelled

[Kim Leeson]

Yes thank you, back at work today...I've been thinking, I know dangerous! Anyone interested in after the Tirpitz, continuing on to Nordkap for some midnight sun action?! Just a thought, seeing as were so close, seems a shame not to....it will require starting on a fresh service as it will be pushing the 6k service interval but I'm nuts and willing to try it, even if by myself.

 

[Jonnyp]

Can I say I’m in but.......at this stage it’s a ‘possible’.

If I do this Kim, I’m going to Nordkapp.....

 

[Safari Ferg]

And then a European End 2 End perhaps.
Does anyone have details of best time to depart Nordkapp and sleep locations.

Okay so now we definitely need a service if we're talking a Euro End 2 End, this is getting serious!!

 

[Safari Ferg]

And a rear tyre about Gibraltar probably.

Kim what sort of action you looking for ??
Ive been there and other than looking like a scene from Mad Max with all the weird campers there is now't.
Maybe you could persuade Steve Wing to go with you He's from Brighton you know !!.
If i do make this trip and im still a provisional as yet Ill make one in for Nordcap but will take my time riding home rather than the blat down to Gibralter.

I know what you mean, the more I think about an End2End it sounds a bit mad especially after doing Tirpitz SS3000, as for Nordcapp, I just wanted to tick that box and see some midnight sun

And just to furthur mess up ideas for all....the aug Euro RTE will be on aug 15 most likely the top of Trollstiegen at the usual 467 formula.....

Thanks for the heads-up Giel....that settles it, European E2E is out for me, will do the ERTE on the way down, that will be a nice ride.

 

[GSears]

Dates change to Facilitate ride between Tromso and ERTE.

[Jonnyp]

Simples

Cheers Jonny

 

[jaybee]

Colour me interested.
Up for the Nordkapp leg and the ERTE but thing a European E2E will be too much.

 

[michiel kerkhof]

I am toying with the Nordkapp-Gib thought after the RTE

 

[stig of the dump]

Referring to Dover ferry don't think that will make much difference puttgarden ferry okay but I think bridge could be the better option at that stage of the journey

Got to get home! short diversion via Nordkapp. Could do the European End to End instead. Finish is closer to Portugal

Have to wait and see what additional checks the French put in if we Brexit. Might be Harwich to Hook with a big diversion in Germany......

 

[Splitter142]

Seriously interested in this, along with an end to end added as a lap of victory

out or in don't think it will make any difference, after all i'm just a tourist and we certainly traveled to france etc before we joined the common market. travelling before then to europe was just a passport check at the border, so why worry
