Journey into the midnight sun: my solo road trip to the top of Norway - AOL

Journey into the midnight sun repeats the intimate, eight-week solo campervan journey through Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway aiming for Nordkapp and Knivskjellodden at midsummer. The writer details staying off-grid under Allemansretten, parking beside fjords and mountain passes, and the sense of total solitude under the polar day. After leaving the UK, the trip begins in Denmark's Lolland island and crosses via Helsingør to Sweden, continuing toward Finland's Rovaniemi, where Father Christmas jokes about reindeer are shared. The piece highlights vast landscapes, Lake Inari, and a route through Sigtuna near Stockholm on a 370-mile leg with lupins and pinks along roadsides.
