This is Part 26 of my trip continuing the journey through Norway, After a very stormy night I set off for Helsinki. I stopped in the town and located a shope (Clas Ohlson) that sold water proofing spray which I applied fairly liberally to the over-suit and my boots. Didn't really do the job though. I encountered really torrential rain so I had to stop on the roadside for a while. I got to Helsinki and found a well equipped campsite and managed to set up before the rains came again. I spent 2 nights there and have included a short walkabout in Helsinki at the end.

The whole journey took me through the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and into Norway right the way up to Nordkapp, the furthest point you can travel by motorcycle or car in mainland Europe and then back through Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Belgium and France over a 7 week period late May - mid July 2023
I am back in the UK now, but please do add your comments and I'll get back to you.

Hoping you can "Like" the video, as this does help the channel.

All my best wishes, thanks again for watching
