Yep, been there. A couple of years ago Mrs Uncle Phil and I
cycled to Lista bird observatory in Norway, because she had a job there for a couple of months. Ever since, when she mentions it, people assume she's joking, or that she means she cycled from the airport to Lista.
"Don't be daft. You can't cycle to Norway. You have to fly... don't you?"
OK, a couple of ferries are involved, but it's less distance by road than Lands End to John O'Groats. It's very do-able.
