This morning, after eating breakfast outside, we dragged ourselves away from the aire at Näske. We really had a lovely relaxing time there. We haven’t moved far though, just half an hour down the road. The aire here is also good, with everything we need, but we don’t have a coast side pitch or a... Continue Reading →
We’ve had a fantastic 10-mile walk today, seeing the sites in the national park. The land here is rising at the rate of around one metre every 100 years. This is because, in the ice age, the land was compressed by a heavy ice sheet and, when the ice melted, the land began to rise... Continue Reading →
We had rain throughout the night and it was still raining when we woke up. Thankfully, it was forecast to stop early afternoon. We phoned a motorhome stopover that we liked the description of, which was on the coast about an hour away. John phoned to book and was told it was currently full, but... Continue Reading →
Typically, because we'd decided against hiking this morning and chosen to move on, we awoke to a blue sky and sunshine! It cheered us up anyway. I washed my hair and tidied away the washing, while John topped up the water and emptied the loo. Our first destination was HällingsÃ¥fallet, a waterfall with a 42... Continue Reading →
We had another long drive today, through Norway and Sweden to Enontekiö in Finland… our final new country on this trip. Once there, we treated ourselves to a proper Finnish experience, including 2 saunas, a dip in a cold lake, then reindeer for dinner… only our second meal out on this trip! It was cold...

Heavy rain in the night has continued throughout today. When we awoke, we were both a bit worried that Molly Moho might be stuck in the grass but she did us proud, and John drove off smoothly. After emptying the loo and the waste water tank, we were off to our next new country, Norway.... Continue Reading →
The journey was uneventful again today, with more quiet, smooth roads through forests and past lakes. The scenery changed a little though, becoming hillier and rockier with shorter, less dense trees. The ground was also pale green due to the abundance of lichen. After a couple of hours of driving, we reached Sveg where we... Continue Reading →
Today we drove up to Nusnäs, near Mora. The drive was uneventful as the roads became single carriage, meandering through the countryside, always on excellent surfaces. The Swedes are very obedient at observing speed limits and we learned that you need to be careful because there are lots of fixed speed cameras! We came across... Continue Reading →
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 →
We enjoyed staying on Hillerød campsite, which is beautifully designed and cared for, with flowers everywhere, a proper kitchen and some outside showers. It was nice to relax with a wrap from the food van, a glass or two of wine and live music. We managed to avoid the torrential shower by hiding under our... Continue Reading →
