    just a quick clean of the rear brakes and torque the drive shafts etc etc... i like the mundane stuff and ensuring i can do anything i can to sustain reliability.

    also needed something to do as i cant climb/hike/run every day so it was nice!

    also had to use the overalls in anger @theBusmonkey @[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    60 million years ago, when the continents slid apart from each other, something special happened; parts of the North American continent remained in Norway – including Leka... unfortunately its still part of the Schengen zone

    Here's some pictures! [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    i have mastered the art of ferry queue cooking... it's like germans putting their towel down for pole position! I'm very close to the Arctic Circle now.. and well... the sun never sets[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    It looks stunning Sam. 90 in 180 just isn't enough is it!

    It's a very Sam problem to have! I don't class it as a break unless its 100 days!


    maybe I'll have to stay in Norway longer and test the scooby capabilities driving down sweden! WRC style!

    Wow, amazing trip and photos.

    Shame about the 90 day issue.

    Would nipping into Russia re set the clock or do you have to come back to blighty for a while?
