    Epic , top adventure
    You're saying this easy compared to your usual backpacking/hitching exploits but when did your rucksack need reliability and maintenance ??

    Hats off Sam , talkers and doers - definitely a doer

    having my rucksack mostly entails sharing dorm rooms with Germans and french.. so a little grease and adjustments here and there is an absolute breeze in comparison

    Hahahahaha the weather was lovely when I went walking in the Norwegian mountains... Sam must've upset the weather gods that night ;) It is such a lovely way to see part of the country.
    .....and indeed I do have some lovely copper gaskets for my exhaust now, exchanged for posh poncy beer! :D

    no! but he said it'll be in the post ... I'm skeptical it'll ever turn up.

    but my van is registered to the Norwegian road authority for tolls so it may appear there ,

    Let’s hope it doesn’t turn up. But well done. Hope you gave chase so they earned their money

    You should’ve said they may need to check their machine there’s no way a T2 can go that fast

    Yep, when I worked for Nokia in Helsinki one of the directors got done. Can’t remember what the fine was now but it was many thousands!
