Thanks. We love it and usually go a couple of times a year to visit our son, we take a cheap flight and have travelled around on trains, boats and hire cars, mostly south of Bergen, but have never driven there, so we are interested in how others have done it. Thanks for sharing your plans, we have not made any definite plans, I think this last year has made me plan ahead adverse! I hope you get back there soon and share your journey on here.
Unfortunately my son doesn't fall into either the 18 to 24 or over 45 age range that are next on the list to be vaccinated and vaccinations have stopped in his area because they have run out of vaccines that are not on the banned list. I really hope your optimism pays off for July
Thanks its good to hear from people who have done this route and have the benefit of others experience before we leave. I love how I asked about a ferry and now have lots of information that will help us feel like we know what we are doing - a bit! It's great people are so willing to share what they have learned along the way, things like good places to stop will make all the difference. At some point i will have to get out the maps and a note book and get all this information into context. I should probably work out how much the fuel will cost too! And whether we need to become vegans for the trip to avoid breaking any rules about taking meat and diary across borders!!! What a difference a year makes, up until the pandemic a couple of hours and a £100 and we could be with them and they felt fairly close, now it is a nearly two years since we have been together and they feel so far away.
If we get there! Germany has just introduced quarantine for visitors
If we do get there we have a week with son and DIL so will go over plans and options with them as they have a better idea of what is achievable in our time frame. It’s easy to get too ambitious when looking at a map

I've had covid and apart from being the scariest illness i've ever had, it's given me a dicky heart and long covid, it will be a long time before I am going in an enclosed space with no windows and crowded with strangers. I'm afraid airports and crowded departure and arrival lounges are out. We have considered going on the train but they don't quite join up yet and it requires an overnight stay in a hotel which I am also avoiding, I don't want to get to Norway and find I have to isolate because I have been in a room with someone who has tested positive.
Thanks the tunnel was plan A so I guess we wait and see which countries are open. I’m a teacher so August is all I have! Changing my job to work less hours as haven’t been back more than two days a week yet otherwise taking the whole summer wouldn’t be possible. Contrary to what most people think teachers do have to work in the school holidays
Winning the lottery and retiring is on my to do list 
I looked at this but they only take freight now. If I understood right you can send your van as freight for about £900 but you can't go with it!
