Doubtless we will be discussing this for some time before all plans are
finalised. I am extremely flexible whatever is decided, as I am now de
facto a pensioner. The only real constraint on me, is the cost involved.


Mike! You are lucky! I'm still working and this is restricting my hobbies
like fishing, hunting, etc. I envy you!

But what are your plans, Jarmo? If Mike and Myron drive to Helsinki,
you could also jump in!

Osmo But what are your plans, Jarmo? If Mike and Myron drive to
Osmo Helsinki, you could also jump in!

Yes, that might be an option. I haven't been paying enough attention -
what was your plan again? Start from Helsinki and fish a few places on
your way up? It takes more time and money for the guys to come via
Finland, so I guess they would want some compensation, that is, more
fishing.

Jarmo,

I was planning to drive by own car and in that case I was hoping to get
at least one passanger, because driving alone such a long way (last time
over 900 km to Dellikvallen and the same amout back home) is
hell a job! And also hoping to get someone to share the fuel cost with me.

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.

riverman Hmmm, this sounds suspiciously like a river I know...this
riverman isn't perchance just southwest of Nordkaap, is it?

With the abundance of rivers that the Norwegians have, I guess quite a
few rivers match my description. The river I'm talking about -
Langfjordelva - is actually east of Nordkapp.

Ahh, same general region. I was thinking of the Stabbursdalen, near Lakselv.
How do you get into the watershed of the Langfjordelva? Hike in from Ifjord?

(still got my maps)

Stabburselva is truly a gorgeous river, maybe the most beautiful river
I have ever fished. I was there in 2000 for one day, but did not catch
anything. My friend caught his first salmon there on that day,
though. Fishing the lower parts of the river is fairly expensive - in
2000 it was 40 euros per day.

Anadromous fish can not reach the upper sections of the river
- I guess there is an unpassable waterfall somewhere up the river. The
upper parts of the river are supposed to be even more beautiful - from
what I've heard, it seems that there is a gorgeous valley there
surrounded by mountains from all sides. This region was opened to
public fishing, IIRC, two years ago. This is also on my list of places
to see, but maybe not this year.

riverman in from Ifjord?

A five-mile hike is what it needs. Another options is probably to take
the ferry to Laggo (where the river flows into the ocean).

My probable route is here;
http://www.reiseplanung.de/index.jsp

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.

Sorry, that should of course read 25 hours! The planner agrees!

Of course, I would need to park the rig somewhere safe while we were
actually claving.

I was kind of smiling to myself here......
I'd almost be willing to bet you a hundred dollar that if you left the car
unlocked at the heli platform with the keys in the ignition lock you'd find
the car standing at the same place with the same ammount of gas in it when
you came back from the mountain.
In any case if you just park by the heli platform AND lock the car it should
be OK.

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.
