All I can say is that if there's enough snow to need that shovel you're badly overloaded and if you're using the E6 you can ditch the petrol can because you won't need it.

Enjoy it and avoid bars or you'll spend a fortune :pinch:

We went from from Harwich to Denmark then Frederikshaven to Oslo then rode straight up to Hamar the night we landed in Norway.

We took tents with us but might as well not have bothered because if there's still a lot of snow around you'll struggle to find anywhere to pitch a tent and still be near your bike but huts aren't expensive if you're sharing and mean you only need to carry a sleeping bag and clothes.

Riding on studs is great fun, you'll really enjoy that part.

It seems you have kept all the necessary times keenly but i think the amount of clothes your carrying might be less. Just one bag? Hope you get all warm clothes with you.
