Big Scandi Adventure 2019

Hope you have a great adventure, and if possible keep us posted :wave:
 
We aim to cross to Malmo

17th May
1st tunnel to Calais
Then drive via Antwerp and Hamburg then Denmark one night near Odense
Use the Storebaelt and Oresund bridges
Cheaper and better (for us) than the Puttgarden ferry
Sweden to Kiruna via Stockholm then inland to Norway Google Maps
Norway following the (very wiggly) coast rather than the E6 (where possible) and back to Malmo

Last time we came back from Scandinavia we avoided Hamburg by going further west and taking a ferry across the Elbe, not expensive and made an interesting detour.
 
Considering doing a similar route as Jagmanx but may go upto Kirkenes then down to Lofoten and then down through the rest of Norway. P4N seems to have quite a lot of stops so would use that with Camper Contact.

If you like to do a bit of exploring on your way south there is turning east near Fauske signposted to Sulitjelma, it’s an old mining town . The road takes you through the small town and into the hills where there is an outdoor centre, it’s an interesting little detour and possibly has some wild camping spots.

Thanks Eric (I Think)
We stayed at Fauske last time a good spot and we me an English music teacher !
We have avoided going to Nordkapp and Finland in order to do such exploring.
Have located Sulitjelma thanks to nice Mr Google

This is a good route as Hamburg has loads of roadworks when we were there in november

We didn’t have internet so p4n and ************* weren’t available but found loads of places to stay
 
For those of you using the EO6 they are upgrading it to a toll road from Trondheim to Grong there was no traffic but often delays of 30 minutes whilst they moved some earth around or lifted a bridge parapet in place in front of you, expected opening time is 2021
 
Thanks again

Ferry looks good as it takes us to very near Itzehoe one of our possible stopovers and is shorter by 13 miles

Stopped at Itzehoe last may 👍. elmshorn Stellplatz has moved into the supermarket car park under the trees and is not by the canal lovely bit of shade though,
 
If your in the area over a weekend the Stellplatz @ wesselburen has an amazing flea market and is also home to a cracking cabbage museum, all the old tools machinery and processing is set up in one of the barns
 
Sas van Gent

Lovely spot just inside Holland. Free!
Watch the boats go by. Beer is 40p a bottle.

Have you worked out how to join the Club Storebaelt to get a discount on your crossings. Can’t find anything in English?
 
Not yet

Have seen the possibility
Not sure it is any good for just out an return

Same for Oresund
But will check it out more carefully now we have changed our route both ways to include both bridges (and so only ferries in Norway)

Will let you know...

Just had a quick look although in Danish it is do-able and worth while
and you register numberplate so APNR
Have not finished yet as looking at how it matches with oresund
