master_time-travel

Route Map: 364 km

Summary:
Final approach to the summit! Again a lonesome ride but filled with great landscapes and scenery. Also rather tiring because of a topography of mountains and valleys and winding roads all the time. But the excitement increased km by km.

Departure and some stops:

  • Cyclists again
  • 197 km
  • 177 km
  • 129 km
  • 13 km

I missed to take pictures entering the final tunnel. It takes you plus/minus 280 m below sea level. I remember it to be a “funny” feeling.

  • Final stage
  • Entrance gate
  • Parking lot
  • First row position
  • Not really on my own
  • First glimpse of the dream
  • All documented for later generations 🙂

Day 16, 15.06.2017, Oulu – Kautokeino

Route Map: 554 km

Summary:
If yesterday was a bit monotonous than today would be lonesome but still interesting. The reason for not being bored or even frustrated is manifold: everything is still new and with every km you come closer to your main destination, of which you dreamed about for quite some years: the North Kapp.

Personal rating: 3/5

Stopped only once for re-fueling and lived on my reserves.
From the road:

  • A rare meeting

Smooth border crossing Finland to Norway

  • A closed Camp Site
  • More emptiness
  • My second passion, maybe some times..

A good day of traveling in lonesome territories. But a little too tired to explore the town of Kautokeino nearby. Maybe some other time 🙂
