That's my Bergen to North Cape (Nordkapp) cycle tour completed. 1,691 miles over 32 days. No rest days. Wild camped every night. Shorts all the way. 😁 What a ride. The Norwegian coastline is spectacular. Snow showers on the last day. #norway #norge #cycling #camping #nordkapp

@RDPHistory Alan West came down the ladders from the bridge of the Yarmouth after he was rescued. I was stood outside the Ops room. He cadged a ciggy off me. "It's my first one in three years", he said. A nice chap. 👍

May 21st 1982: Commander Alan West orders "Abandon Ship" as HMS Yarmouth comes alongside Ardent, helping to fight the fires and rescue the crew. Alan West himself is the very last man to leave the ship, and he later earns the DSC for his bravery.

After landing in Norway it was time to cycle up the Norwegian coast to North Cape. The first day was spent heading through a busy Bergen city centre complete with cruise ships. #bergen #norway #cycling

The last wild camp of the tour was not a million miles away from the ferry terminal at Newhaven. After that it was a train back home via Buckingham Palace . After 1,900 miles of cycling, the tour from the Sahara to the UK was complete.

The last stretch into Dieppe was a bit of a rush to catch the late afternoon ferry.

The weather became colder and wet the further north I cycled. Cold and wet feet became the norm as I returned to winter conditions
