I wouldn’t be making an overstatement if I said we are delighted to be here. What an interesting day! Jen had been reading that you could buy vehicle insurance for Russia, at the border. Well, on arriving at the Norwegian border, Jen asked if this was possible, to be told,…
It’s the morning of day 14 and still in the camp site having breakfast at 10.30am. It’s cold, and wet too but I need to go back to Tromso, yesterday After Land Rover agents, Biltrend spent most of the day looking for the issue that has been plaguing us, they…
It’s b…. cold now and wet! Well, what do you expect when you are at Lat. 70deg North! We didn’t come for the sun but we have been very lucky until about 2am this morning, camped just south of Narvik, when both the wind and rain hit us. Then the…
Another cracking day dawned. On the road by 10ish. Yesterday we programmed an alternative road into the Sat Nav to the E6, which it seems is the longest road in one country in Europe. Anyway, the alternative proved to be a brilliant choice. A Long climb up onto a plateau with spectacular…

What a difference a day makes! Woke at 7.45am to a beautiful sunny morning. A little bit of R&M as the winder on one of the roof vents gave up winding. Nothing major, as a pivot pin had come out. Seems that there is always something to hold us up…
Not much to report. Motorways, congested towns and massive traffic jams. Drove through Belgium in an hour or so and we are camped outside Breda in Holland. Weather, dull and overcast with some fog and cool. All going well, apart from starting problems!! We hope to get fixed in Kolding…
On the road by 7am heading for Newhaven. Nearly never made it. Land Rover wouldn’t start!! Eventually got it going but it seems to be troublesome since changing a fuel filter two days before. I didn’t bleed it properly. Being a common rail diesel it’s not easy to bleed the…
With only days to departure from Wineham, we have hardly given the trip the kind of attention that’s needed but we have been planning this for the past 6 years and the main things like vehicle preparation and visas are pretty much in hand. Some final mods to the Land…
