I put together my route from Missenden Flyer’s<\/a> publishing of Motorrad Tour’s Arctic circle tour<\/a>. Motorrad tours charged \u00a34500 which I presume included the ferries and hotels and TMF estimated he spent an additional \u00a31500 in petrol and other costs, making a total of \u00a36000. My approach was more down to earth which suited me better. I discovered Cabins on campsites and preferable to my ‘light is right’ but very small tent as well as hugely cheaper to hotels. I’ll write about these in a separate post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
