Hi there! We are Blake and Sophie and we are planning an epic journey to Oslo in memory of Blake's late sister.
The Oslo Marathon is on the 21st of September, and Blake's Brother in Law and nephews/nieces will be running. Instead of running the marathon, we are planning on cycling from the Hook of Holland to Oslo..... in 10 days.
I'll be the first to admit, this plan is crazy. And we've come up with it rather late. It's near impossible (for us) to do the full journey cycling in 10 days, so I'm trying to break it up a little bit. I'd be so grateful if any of you could give me feedback on the following plan:
DAY 1 - HOOK OF HOLLAND -> UTRECHT
DAY 2 - UTRECHT -> DEVENTER
DAY 3 - DEVENTER -> ENSCHEDE
DAY 4 - TRAIN! ENSCHEDE -> KIEL
DAY 5 - TRAIN! KIEL -> ESPJERG
DAY 5 (1/2 day) - CYCLE AND CAMP THROUGH DENMARK
DAY 6 - CYCLE AND CAMP THROUGH DENMARK
DAY 7 - CYCLE AND CAMP THROUGH DENMARK
DAY 8 - FERRY! FROM HIRTSHAL -> LARVIK
DAY 9 - LARVIK -> DRAMMEN
DAY 10 - DRAMMEN -> OSLO
Like I say, any feedback or advice on camping (wild camping?) in Denmark (or anywhere else) would be hugely appreciated, as well as feedback on the route.
Thanks for reading. I look forward to chatting to some of you xx
