Just sent this to a few mates who normally come over the contenant with us each year. If anyone else is seriously interested in making it a little more HSV and less BMW let me know. Time wise will be summer due to the locations being driven.

Home to Lubeck near Hamburg (day 1), boat then drive to Copenhagen (day 2), then onto Stockholm over 2 days most likely (days 3 and 4), then over to Oslo in Norway (days 5 and 6), then down to Kristiansand (day 7), Ferry across to Denmark and drive down to Bremen in Germany (day 8), then home (day 9).
I suggest taking a week and the proceeding Friday off so its Friday, Sat, Sunday through to the following Sat/Sunday.....

Bit ambitious but you only live once. Will need to pick the time carefully as we are going cross country so needs to be in summer!

Note this years tour down to the coast at Nice then through the alps (Stelvio, Davos etc) was brill althouygh I had to drive sensiblish due to a tyre issue at the time (should have known better!).

How many hours are you intending to do in a day?
The reason I ask is that in my experience if the journey time is say 3 hours, it ends up being 6. have you taken this into account?

Normally start about 830/9 and start looking for a hotel about 4ish. We did just over 800miles the first day last time, would like to crack 1000 miles in a day really. That's about £250 in fuel in a day! biggrin
