our NorthCape road trip

[sundowners]

Hi guys
just a quick update on our trip while I sup a cup of Mc dees coffee.
we are in 20 deg. and all is well (so far) --we are in Ostersund in Sweden, still heading North.
So far covered 1300 miles---no road tolls--no camping costs--water & dumping no problem (dump with macerator)----fuel is a few pence more in Sweden---speed limit is 48 MPH for us, so a relaxing trip !!!

We have loads of pics--------just don't know how to let you see them-----should have worked that out by now I know
Sweden is SOOO good---the people, the Country, the small towns (we don't do big towns) even the wild camping is a dream--------we have just left the perfect camping spot (but no Wi-Fi)--------when we find out how to post pics. you will see what we mean Stayed there a few days which gave us a chance to use river water to catch up on laundry and using fire to heat water and cook etc.Made a make-shift oven and used it successfully to make bread
Today is overcast------what a relief----it has been soo hot ---over 90 a couple of days ago--------------that caught us out------most of our gear is for cold and wet.
We will report back when we get Wi-Fi again (at Gaddede tourist info at moment)
Supposed to be loads of bear in this area, but so far only seen a couple of moose and what I believe to be a wolf

sounds lovely and sounds like a great place to visit.Now all we need is for you to suss the photos.

meeting-up with Snowbird (RVOC & MHF) in a few days----(in Norway)---he will show us how to post pics

We definitely hope to be able to return -------

Hi
we have contact again
Today we arrived at Senya (North West Norway)--------lashing out on a campsite for a few days---first since we left UK-------we found that LPG is very scarce up the centre of Sweden (we didn't need any--just looking)----we filled up in Narvik this morning (86 p a litre)-----not so many places seem to have it, but we have found a chain of un-attended machines that take cards----this is great for filling our bottles-------it has not been cold, so we have not had to use much on heating the van-----we have 24 hour daylight so we do get a fair crack at the sun---last 2 days not been too good, very low cloud, but the sun is now shifting the cloud, and it's hard to see my lappy screen.
We drove through a Massive hail storm a couple of days ago --it layed really thick on the road, looked like snow.
While we at this campsite (and have Wi-Fi) can anyone help us to post pics.--------it looks like our meeting with Fun member is not going to happen------we also arranged to meet an RVOC member here but he has to go and it looks like we won't get to meet-up--at one point he was one day ahead of us on the road through Sweden--------not having Wi-Fi of the road, we were unable to keep in touch
Got to go out IN THE SUN and take pics of Salmon jumping in farm cages------
Be back on later
