On 8th September 2026, we set off for a 6 week trip around the Baltic. It had been on the bucket list for ages. Originally we intended to do this on 2 wheels, but having looked at the weather, the distances and price of eating-out and accommodation, we decided the Van would make it a bit easier!
It took almost 3500 miles and 4 weeks to get from Central Scotland, via the Hull-Rotterdam ferry and the various places we wanted to see on the route to the Nordkapp. Once inside the Arctic Circle it was cold, even in late September.
Had we used the Bikes, we would have gone earlier in the year, for better weather, but that would have meant missing the Aurora!
I hope you like the video
