Hollywood - we take 2-3 week breaks and travel over europe with the 110 and free camp just about anywhere. you can cover a lot of miles in a day when you put your mind to it and then relax and drive back slowly.
Norway is a fab trip as is sweden, Switzerland is awesome as well. However the UK is also full of wonders and you can be in Scotland from Cornwall in one long days drive if need be. So cut your cloth to suit the width and get on the road and see what you can while you can !

Wave when you are in Cornwall !
Just a word of warning - Cornwall is situated in August ... so I would personally recommend late September early October as the best time to visit - still has good weather, long days and fewer tourists, and most of the attractions are still open. just a thought from a resident!

Shaggydog - I know this is an ageing post.
Are you coming to the Adventure Overland show in September? I think you will find it inspiring, plenty of people there who aren't spending £20k on overland trips! I've driven London - CapeTown, Route 66, the southern PanAmerican highway (Peru & Chile) as well as several other meandering road trips. I managed to stop work at 25 and spent several years traveling and doing various jobs and I didn't follow any of the structured advice and planning, I figured it out along the way, including visa's, carnets etc. Clearly advanced planning is important and prepares you for some of the challenges you will face but you will be surprised how many people are travelling using advice they pick up from other travellers along the way. I'm now in my 50's now with four children and all the associated responsibilities, but never regret travelling when I was younger. |

Hi Guys,
Thanks once again for all the input. Again things are on hold at the moment as both me and my girlfriend have many plates up in the air at the moment, hopefully once we can start tying some of them down we will be able to have a proper look at this again. In the mean time, I will buy a Euromillions ticket  Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197
