Rob, Probably not next year as Mrs DSL will say no, but give it 6-12 months and she'll be glad to see the back of him again LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Bot of a slog today, Kopling to N of Stockholm but got there. Been piddling down today, the only thing of note were the three bridges.
Tiddly(ish) one: free

Great Belt bridge into the Island Copenhagen is on: £28.35

And bridge over to Sweden: £48.43 I thought that deserved a vid for those that haven't done it. Unfortunately I stopped just before Swedish flag popped on the screen and SatNag wifey said "Welcome to Sweden".
Driven those myself a couple of time now. Not bad, but don't compare in length to some of those I drove across in USA, there's one down South below Tampa Florida I seem to recall appeared to go on forever.LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Good choice of tunes
Good old RT music. Today's been a mix of Jean Michael Jarre, Supertramp, Shinedown & Nickelback.

Succumbed to the lure of the Micky Dees just across the E4 mway. And very scrummy it was too with a beer from home. Even the chips that fell into the beer were scrummy!!

And before anyone gets too concerned, I'm in the hotel car park and not venturing out into the mean streets of Upplands Väsby tonight.

Quick cuppa soup stop off the E4, just 200 miles to my hotel in Lulea.
Still weird walking back to a silver car, I even have a mat down to put the jetboil on in case I spill anything on the carpet. The D3 could give you a 3 course meal from the same place if you dig hard enough.
