Apologies for the double post (also on Dormobile Forum)
Only 3 weeks to go now. Should get the Dormobile back from the garage this evening. Head gasket all done and up and running. I just haven't the time or space what with the other Domobile project taking so much of it.
So, assuming all goes well, the plan is as follows;
Weekend of the 13th 14th July, bob down to Ely Folk Festival where I am dancing with Wrigley Head Morris Men, then catching the monday afternoon ferry from Harwich to Esbjerg, arriving on Tuesday early afternoon.
Not sure of the time we are planning to stop in each country yet, but we don't want to do a lot of rushing about.
From Esbjerg, we will go up to Hirsthals and catch the ferry to Kristiansand in Norway and have a gentle pootle to Oslo via wnatever scenic route takes out fancy.()may be 2 or 3 days
From Oslo, the plan is to drive into Sweden and down to Malmo, via (perhaps) Gothenburg, over a couple or three or four days.
From Malmo, the plan is to go via bridge but maybe ferry, across to Germany (Lubeck ish) and then trundle to Europort Rotterdam for the ferry on Friday the 27th July when, coincidently, the mot is due!
Esbjerg to Rotterdam will be in the region of 1500 miles (but probably more).
Looking forwards to a mixture of wild camping and campsites and, dare I say it, trouble free travelling.

Re: Scandinavia 2012
Sounds like a nice trip, Alex.
Is it a lone trip, or are you going with a group?
Whatever - have a nice, trouble-free one, won't you
Cheers,
Robin.
PS. I can't get the picture of the Wrigley Head Morris Men out of my mind now - are they anything like the bobble head figures you see on car parcel shelves

Re: Scandinavia 2012
I don't, and they have been removed at the moment. All they are is standard holders with a "width" of angle iron welded to the bottom to lift them above the front apron panel. That bit bolts to the bumper and the sides / back bolt to the front panel / wings.jerryd wrote:
