avongas Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hi guys After a break of 6_years, Sue and I are thinking of travelling this Autumn through France etc to Finland. Can anyone suggest a route. I had to get rid of my Swift Lifestyle due to family issues, but now is the time to consider getting another van and getting back out there. Anyone a y advice please. Ta John (Spud).

Robinhood Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 ...you may find these threads of interest, though it might depend on your route.. The first (long) is a report of our journey to Finland in 2013. Unfortunately, the Harwich-Esbjerg Ferry no longer runs, so the mileage to get there is quite a bit higher: http://forums.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/The-Scandinavian-Road-Trip-Part-I/31622/ The second (fairly long) is from last year, and details our journey up into Sweden and Norway, and gives some hints on stopovers on the way (some of which could be relevant, particularly in Germany and lower Sweden). http://forums.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/Two-Go-Arctic-again-/41967/ The third contains tips on how to minimise the bridge toll charges between Denmark and Sweden. http://forums.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/Scandinavian-Tolls/41216/ ....though, having now sussed out a few places where I could get a decent overnight stop in Southern Sweden, even arriving late-ish of the ferry from Germany, I would definitely now consider a ferry from Northern Germany to Trelleborg in Sweden if the mileage and ferry costs still play correctly.

mikejkay Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'm proposing to go via France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, crossing from Sassnitz to Trelleborg (Sweden) and then from Kapellskar to Nantali (Finland) thus avoiding the Rooshan enclave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
