The Göta Canal and Ã–rebro

We stayed at a beautiful camping aire called Skeda Strand in the forest by Lake Furen. After finding a sunny place to park up, we wandered through woodland to the lakeshore. It was too windy to swim but I had a paddle. Afterwards we relaxed, cooked dinner and watched the sun set. What a gorgeous... Continue Reading →

Arrival in Denmark: Ribe

Wednesday evening, we enjoyed a quiet night at a campervan aire in Nordenham. John cooked pizza for our tea then we washed up and had an early night. I slept better, if not very soundly, and feel more lively today. Today, Thursday, the journey has felt very long again. We’ve mainly driven through flat agricultural... Continue Reading →

Through the Netherlands to Germany

Yesterday, John had to take Molly Moho to have some sockets fixed…... Continue Reading →

A forest adventure on snowshoes

It snowed heavily overnight and when I opened the curtains this morning, the views were magnificent. An extra 20 centimetres of snow meant we were in for an excellent day of snowshoeing. Sean and Dave assessed the risk and advised us that we wouldn’t be able to go up to Allerleigrubenspitze (a 2131 metre peak)... Continue Reading →

A rest day: the Brenner Base Tunnel

We had more wine than usual last night because we’re taking a rest day today and stayed chatting after dinner. As a result, I had a headache when I woke up after too little sleep; therefore, a leisurely breakfast was called for. Some people chose to head to a retail park in Brenner, some caught...
