NW Norway Road Trip :-)
The car this morning:

The car now:

All packed bar soft bag, pooter stuff and docs, amazing how much stuff is in there for one person and shade under 3 weeks. 5,500 mile road trip up to the Arctic starting just south of Bodø, then up to Batterie Dietl, Lofotons and up to Tromso before heading back via Kiruna and the road down central Sweden. Mixture of wild camping, D3 campervanning, camp sites and the occasional hotel.
Long haul tomorrow, up to Padburg, DK, then just south of Stockholm. Hopefully the traffic and weather gods will smile on me, I have data now on da pad so will no doubt bung y'all the odd pic of scenery.

IID is in the glovebox and Ipad ready for action but I won't need it as she will be good as gold. So she tells me.

Will do re updates, have 3 x three data sims so 3gb of data to play with. At £4/SIM cheap as chips. Re breakdown cover, absatidellingtootlie. Got Amex euro breakdown cover for that.
All packed & ready to go. Alarm set for 3:15am, seriously thinking about heading off at bed time & getting across, then crash out en route. Obviously nowhere near Calais in case they think I'm an illegal alien trying to get across the water.
