Found a blacksmith who fixed our little problem

What a bloody nice bloke!! Not sure what he thought about two noisy old buses though :lol:

So, as we had some time before hitting the road, we popped into a sealife centre

Nearly halfway there!!! Ferry out of Denmark

Time for a well earned beer/cider

A Titanic moment :lol:

Or not!!

 

[maddog]

But it got bloody windy on deck........

But after a decent kip we arrived in Norway

Met up with our Norwegian friends and drove to Jan's place

 

[maddog]

As Alex has said, we were taken to a beautiful marina where Jan kept his boat

 

[maddog]

And off we went for a cruise with beer in hand.......

The man himself......Jan......the best host EVER

 

[maddog]

A fuel stop

Lee was getting to grips with the local brew

Passing our little ferry

Next day we headed off the Slackers Garage

Frank brought his race beetle down for a run out

Inside their garage were some projects......

 

[maddog]

Jan, Ernst & Frank

Espen fitting his light

Some Early Bays ready for the off

On our way to SCC to set up camp.....

Camp is looking good.......

This Split was dragged out of the depths after many many years.....

 

[maddog]

A few gorgeous vehicles which turned up......

Then at last the racing began.......

 

[maddog]

The weekend flew by and before we knew it our last day in Norway had arrived so we took time out to explore Oslo

 

[maddog]

We got carried away and had to frantically drive to catch the ferry, luckily one of Jan's mates gave us th elead on hid motorbike

We just made the ferry on time and waved goodbye to Norway

We had a good steady drive back leaving the ferry at 9.30am and arriving in Holland about 10pm. We then split from Lee and Alex as they wanted to stop off for food and get an early start in the morning to catch the ferry. We carried on another 45 mins drive to camp at Arnhem.

We had a whole day before having to drive the last 250 odd miles to the ferry so we spent the day looking around the town famous for 'A bridge too far'.
