Arctic Circle crossing in Sweden

Image
 Well I have done four Arctic Circle crossing in Sweden, and the best two were the first one on the E45 road, which had a Café (I certainly needed a drink by the time I walked up the steps to it) and then the last one on road 99, and funny enough that also had a Café :)

More stickers

Well today I left Bodo and rode to the border between Norway and Sweden on road  77. Can you put stickers on the map Leon for those two locations?

Arctic Circle - Norway

 Well Leon, I have made it to the Arctic Circle Centre in Norway. Can you put a sticker on the map where this is located?

The start of Northern Norway

The arch over the road, now missing the Nord Norge sign underneath, along with the stone marker indicate the start of Northern Norway and the start of plugging in my heated jacket!

Trondheim

Hi Leon Hope you have a good week at school. Are you ready to put another sticker on the map? If so place your sticker where you think I have been today.

Out of the city…

Image
Definitely out of the city now, and it is somewhat colder up here!

Oslo

 Hi Leon, can you put your second sticker on where you think Oslo is on the map of my route? Today I was on a cycle tour of Oslo. Oslo Opera House View from the roof of the Opera House  

New sticker

OK Leon, another small challenge for you. Can you spot the new sticker on my pannier in the photo?

Another country

 Hi Leon I am now in Denmark, the third country so far and will be staying here for a couple of days. Thought you might like to know a bit more about this place so I have found an interesting website that you can learn about Denmark, just click on this  link .

Camping in Germany

I have finished riding for today and have ridden through the Netherlands and into my second country of the trip,Germany, where I will be camping tonight and hopefully getting a good nights sleep in my tent. Here is a  website  where you can learn 10 fun facts about Germany.

Arrived on foreign shores

The ferry has docked at the Hook of Holland port and now I am about to ride through the first  foreign country of my trip, the Netherlands. Would you like to learn more about this country Leon? If so click on this  website link .

And we're off...

Video should appear above soon. Leon's Jubilee bunting test run on this royal occasion !  

Spot the difference

Image
  OK Leon, your first challenge is to look at the picture of my bike I sent you in the post the other day, and then look at the picture of it again above where it is ready to go, and then tell me the three differences between the two photos. Good luck.

Nearly time to go...

 Just one more sleep!

Welcome

Welcome to Leon's Arctic Challenge. This short blog will have pictures occasionally uploaded from my motorcycle road trip so Leon can track my progress of my travels to the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia and complete the picture challenge that I have set him as well as learning some interesting facts along the way.
