Dramatic finale for Casper Steinfath as he circumnavigates Denmark
If everything goes as planned, Casper Steinfath will finish his 1450 kilometre journey through Denmark on Wednesday afternoon local time.
Casper Steinfath circumnavigating Denmark "like an old wreck"
He is under enormous pressure, to get home before nightfall because a more severe storm coming directly from the west is knocking on the door on Thursday. The coming storm will keep him ashore for at least five days. In other words, he's in a hurry. - It's going to be a crazy culmination of a crazy project. I have to contend with strong tailwinds, waves, ferries and lots of piers along the west coast of Jutland. But I'm giving it everything I've got, says Casper Steinfath.
It was not part of the planthat the last stage should be like a long, challenging mountain stage of the Tour de France. It was planned to be in Vorupør, a few kilometres from Klitmøller, to make it easy for Casper & Friends to prepare a champagne stage on the home straight. But the very long days since crossing the border between Denmark and Germany have taken their toll on Casper Steinfath - physically and mentally: "I'm like an old wreck. The last few days have been relentless, but with the optimistic forecast for Wednesday, I've taken a rest day to recover and recharge my batteries for the last time."
He sets off from Fjaltring early on Wednesday morning, hoping to attend the party at the local club around 6pm.
