Honningsvåg to Alta
Disembarking in Honningsvåg, we head north towards Nordkapp. This is the northernmost point of Norway accessible by road, and a popular tourist attraction. We then turn towards Alta, some 270 km to the south. After cycling along the Porsangerfjord we will cross Sennalandet, famous for its exposure for the winds.
This stage will hopefully take us about 2 days, dependant on weather and our wear and tear.
