drive in the swedish wilderness soa4x4.se
Hi everyone I was on this last year and its extremely well organised and run its a 3 day offroading event held 3 times a year I was on the first one in the spring last year you have all your provisions with you to last 3 days as after you have driven all day in a variety of terrain 99% offroad sometimes you have to drive a couple of kms on road to ge to the next offroad area, you make camp where you stop set up camp have a few beers and some food the scenery is apsalutely stunning but its not really suitable for standard road cars I think it tells you about it on the site its in english aswell the site is soa4x4.se im going on the spring one again its at the end of april I think ,hopefully the snows gone by then ive got a couple of vids I made there on utube if you look on my username of donlock68 you can find them there if anyone is interested im sure there are contact details on the web site if not then contact me and ill see what I can do from here ,cheers the noo,don
Cheers for that, look forward to the YouTube bit, and will take a look at there site.
What would you say are the overall costs, fuel ferry accomOdation etc ?
Harwich to Esbjerg is from £229 car and 2 people, then a drive all the way to Sweden crossing the new suspension bridge that is 10 miles long. The toll is approx 36 euro each way. Best weather is late June or July though you can get thunderstorms. Very flat and Southern Sweden seems to be full of wheat fields. Take alcohol with you or buy it in Denmark as it is much more expensive in Sweden.
Yes youre right the area I live in in quite flat im on the south east corner but where this event takes place its about a 4 hour drive north so its allot of forest and small lakes also its hillier than here where im based ,the ferry prwales mentions is a good way and you get to see denmark southern sweden I have a frient who comes over allot with his family he either comes that way or sometimes he will go to amsterdam and drive from there to the top of germany then up through denmark I believe there is also a ferry from immingham aswell although I think its a truckers ferry, as for the prices of accomodation there are travel lodges etc in denmark and sweden so it depends on your budget there is also more expensive hotels theres also b+b you could try the swedish and danish tourist board im sure if you google it the re will be contact details there hhope this helps a bit ,cheers the noo,don
