Yes, it`s 99,9% sure it is gong to be 13-15 august 2010

I took the liberty of fixing your link above.
When you want to show youtube videos, just post the link. I have put in a modification in the forum that automatically embeds the video and show it

okay, jick and I are seriously thinking about coming, we ahve to options.

1.fly

2.drive and bring a car, how long does this take?

2.drive and bring a car, how long does this take?

Well depending on a few factors (do you still have to build the car, where do you live, do you drive at 60 or 120) it can vary a little...

[Lids]

the car will be towed, so we would be doing about 60mph 90km/h. 

[roland]

well then, 2 or 3 days maybe..

[Lids]

just had a quick look via Google maps, and it says 24 hrs driving, which is fine cus we will share that.  but what about ferrys/bridges/tolls etc. 

I think the most economical is via Calais and then up through Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

I had this dilema this year,

we ended up going dover - dunkerque (Cheaper than Calais)

Driving through to Copenhagen in Denmark (One toll bridge we crossed in Denmark)

Overnight Party Boat to Oslo


If i was to do it again,

I'd go Dover - Dunkerque

Drive to denmark where to cut out a bit do the Puttgarden - Rodby Ferry (Avoids Toll Bridge)

and I'd then drive the rest. The journey is half the fun in my eyes.


It was great to go on the party boat, but i did regret not driving through sweden and more of norway.


Hope this helps.

p.s. I will be going to SCC 2010 but i can't afford to drive out again so soon, so would love to steal a lift, I read maps GOOD, plus can retune radio's with great skill!

I read your thread, and its cool to turn it into a holiday, but I don't think i can take 9-10 days in total.  So I was hoping to leave very early Thursday morning and come back either late monday or early Tuesday.

How much do you think you spent extra on tolls and ferrys (ignore channel crossing)

[Rasser]

Our VW-club (MIB) have made a great agreement with Stena Line (roughly 40-50% discount on the ferry tickets), so if anybody is planning to go through Denmark and sail from Frederikshavn to Oslo, then let me know 2-3 months in advance (SCC 2010), and I will give you the booking details in order to get the discounts!

You can reach me at rasmusthomzen@hotmail.com

Hope this helps someone to make their journey easier/cheaper

the toll in denmark was £25 ?

and our overnight ferry was £250 per 2 people and a van

we took our time on the way out, but..

we left Oslo on a monday evening ferry and i was sat at home by lunch time wednesday, so it's very possible to do it in a shorter time,

cheers

alex

p.s. Thr frederikshavn to oslo ferry is well worth looking at as it does make the journey shorter, it was too expensive for me last year but with a discount would be welll worth a look!

Lids the way to do it is leave wednesday night,get the ferry crossing over and the time difference,there is a formula one motel in dunkerque for about 15euros each for the night to stay in then leave early thusday morning and you will be there after lunch friday.
I can do it towing a trailer in day & 1/2 doing all the driving so if you swap drivers you will do it easily.I found dover calais was cheaper towing than dunkerque but if you book by february there are soem really good deals,but even cheaper is to drive both cars onto the ferry if you are going to flat tow then hook the 2nd car back up the other side
