Packed up and away by 09:15. Planned 45 miles today via route 800 to Kangaskyla campsite, Finland.

Point to note, Kangaskyla is next to the mahoosive lake Oulujarvi which may be Finland's largest inland, freshwater lake. If it aint, it blummin well should be...it's so big it looks like the sea.

Very overcast and a little cooler than yesterday. Day started with lots of little sharp ups followed by rolling descents. Wind buggered off somewhere beside/behind us so no problems there.

Lower temps meant Tracey's friends (the Hornets) were asleep today as was any other potential wildlife sightings as we saw zilch.

Route 800 much smaller than 78, very scenic with sparse traffic. Single numbers of vehicles per hour. Downside; no cafes or other rest stops available

Hello Both

Been reading your adventures with interest - haven't laughed MUCH! Bet you've both got buns of steel. You sound to be coping well, despite the mysterious disappearing campsites - Trace - never mind camping wild - I'd insist on some 5* hotel, if I were you (which is probably why I'm not doing it!).

How we looking for a meet up in Sofia over Bank Holiday? (you forgot to attach your finalised schedule when you sent me your blog)

Anyway guys, our thoughts are with you, even if we do think you're completely raving!!!
Have a good one - talk soon

5 star? You must be joking, so far no one seems to have heard of that 'brilliant' 80's band up here.....! Incidentally, they were Tracey's favourite at the time... ye Gods!!!
