Another epic trek across Europe; starting with a weekend English Folk Dance event at Drax Sports and Social Club followed by the ferry from Hull to Rotterdam, through the Netherlands, north to Barmstedt for an American square dance event then north through Denmark, ferry to Bergen and a stressful drive through Norway (more to follow on that theme), returning via the ferry from Stavanger to Denmark, driving back through Germany and the Netherlands, Rotterdam to Hull ferry and home to Lancaster.

Norway was bursting full of motorhomes, we have NEVER seen so many, suitable campsites are few, far between, overcrowded and expensive — that’s the take-away message about Norway; pretty in places, but the driver gets to see nothing, the roads are narrow, tortuous, flanked by metal crash barriers and have low speed limits everywhere. Thronged by motorhomes, (many of which are rentals) and caravans that are too wide for the roads makes for a very stressful experience.

You will be able to read about our adventures in full as soon as time allows the pages to be prepared. Meanwhile we need to plan because we have a ferry to Spain booked in just over 3 weeks, watch this space for more.
