Just a possibility - has anyone ever driven to Finland, with or without a caravan in tow? Our nephew lives just outside Tampere and is agitating for us to go visit sometime this summer. Is it feasible to drive, if so, how long does it take? Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto
Tricia's - 2006 Royal Blue Beetle Cabriolet Auto
Mine - 2014 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport Matt Black
Ours - 2007 White Bailey Pageant Champagne

Sounds like a road trip and a half

Maybe a ferry could help, make it more relaxing, Rostock to hanko

a ferry should be a must....the sea goes deeper than our wading depth I believe.....

My iPad map makes it look quite easy, turn left and catch the śtùćkàtśėà ferry for 69miles  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Lapland Great place was there 2 months back skiing , 400 mile north to were your planning to go, the people are so nice, but its Rain deer or salmon for most meals

I know they have laws on driving in the snow but It could be a great trip.
Taking the van could cost a "packet" on ferry crossings and fuel
They are having Lovely warm weather at the moment !! I herd it was 27c last weekend and 24 hrs day light now !!
