But if Mike comes this way with his car, can we all four travel by his
car?
And which way actually they are planning to use? We could find
fishing
spots depending on the route! One choice is that I drive to Oulu and
join
you
others there.

But as Mike mentioned, we still have lot of time to make the final
plan.

My probable route is here;

It is 1078 KM from Hamburg to Helsinki.

Including ferries, pauses, etc, I reckon about sixteen hours. Any
detours
on the way would have to be factored in of course.


Yes, but what route after Helsinki? This is what I was meaning.

I was assuming you would know which route to take after Helsinki!

It looks like a massive detour though, so it is perhaps not such a good idea
after all. If I drove directly to Umea, then I would cut out some ferry
costs, and the total distance would be about 1500 km.

If I drove via Helsinki, then we have to make a big dogleg back into Sweden,
and this might put the distance up to as much as 2500 km. I would of course
prefer to avoid that.

Have to do some more research.
