This will be our sixteenth tour to Europe (either with or without the caravan) and the first time heading properly North in our van, Nellie. We need to leave in the next 7 to 10 days as we have a ferry to catch in Kirkenes on 30th June. This is presently our only deadline.
Travel either through the Eurotunnel or overnight Harwich to the Hook-of-Holland. Costs look similar when you add in the additional mileage of going via the tunnel. We will spend a few nights near Copenhagen before heading north through Sweden and Finland.
Hoping for some slightly longer stops en-route - maybe a 3 night stop half way up Sweden and another also as we cross Finland - if anyone has any suggestions, fire away...
MOT and Service completed early -
Red Pennant annual policy expires August (and then it is no more...) -
GHIC cards renewed -
FLT Pass delivered -
Ferry pass -
Cash for Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark -
Aferiy P280 Powerbank delivered and connected to Victron MPPT controller -

In early May I ordered a FLYT pass from www.flytpass.no and this arrived with a week or two. I still haven't figured out how it works but I appear to have selected the option which costs 5NOK per month (I will cancel after the trip) but I can't see how I pay. I'm assuming they must eventually send me a bill.
I also want a prepaid ferry pass from www.autopassferje.no but they don't allow registration from a UK phone number. Awaiting a response from their CS team.
Normally we would sleep in the pop-top but have no idea how practical this will be once we start heading up through Sweden and Finland.
This will dictate if we take our small drive-away awning or not.
It won't see much if any use on the outward journey but it's likely we will stay a week or two in several places in southern Norway on the way back. Decisions, decisions...
