      Well, it took me some time but here are our pictures of our 5000km trip with my 1968 2,25 diesel…

      Ready to go at Jef’s place…

      First pitstop was ‘Zolverrein’, an enormous coalmine and we only visited the ‘washing installation’

      Bild

      Bild

      Friday-afternoon we arrived at Verner’s meeting in Denmark (we took a few ferries but no piccies because flat battery…)
      Bild

      After we had a few beers we played some local, Scandinavian? games; you can see the effect that alcohol has…Jef still in 1st gear…
      Bild
      Oops! Just shifted into 3rd…
      Bild

      Time for ‘aperitive’ (the local shop gave us 2 crats of beer, for free!)
      Bild

      Cosy BBQ in the evening…
      Bild

      After someone winched me (no front prop) up a small hill we said goodbye to everyone and Jef and I went to ‘Sverige’…
      Bild

      LARGE country…
      Bild

      We immediately drove some lanes…
      Bild
      Bild

      to our private lake…
      Bild
      Bild

      Jef took us to a nice small museum with strange ‘cars’ and planes…
      Bild
      Bild

      Jef wanted to stay in the southern part of Sweden; we headed north for Varberg radio-station (early 1920’s and unique in Europe).
      Bild
      Bild

      We headed for Tanum (rock carvings) and on the campsite we came across these chaps…They we’re heading towards a Land Rover meeting in Norway…
      Bild

      But first Tanum where they reconstructed ancient houses,…
      Bild

      Bild

      On our way to the LR-meeting…
      Bild

      Because it was a LR-meeting(…) it was of course expensive; well if we had the time to stay from Thue.- Sun. it was ‘ok’(£140) but we only had time for two nights and they still wanted £110!! (no food included, just camping and laning…). So I took a few snaps of the few Series on site…
      Bild

      of we went…
      Bild

      Very old wooden church…
      Bild

      Because we absolutely wanted to see a few places in Sweden we headed north, through Oslo and eventually by some lanes into Sweden…
      Bild
      Bild

      Camping by a river this time…
      Bild

      National park in Dalarna with Sweden’s highest waterfall…

      Bild

      Because the weather wasn’t that good we headed south which meant, in this case, Germany (and also because we wanted some cosy towns, pubs & restaurants…)
      Bild
      Bild

      Camping in Sweden…
      Bild

      Bild
      Bild

      Schwerin…
      Bild

      Lüneburg, also very nice…

      Bild

      Goslar, probably one of the best preserved ancient towns…
      Bild
      Bild

      Because Goslar was an imperial town; the emperor had of course an ‘imperial palace’…
      Bild

      But we came for this…Rammelsberg! A mine for over a 1000 years…

      Bild

      That’s all for now! We had an excellent trip; hopefully next year as good; probably east or south…

      Here some pictures of our breakdown in Falun…

      At a petrolstation in Sweden, more the 1800 km from home we came across this…
      Bild

      After a few phonecalls to Denmark, England, Belgium and Sweden; ordering a spare part in England (and canceling it the last minute) this chap turned up after just 1h!! In the middle of nowhere, well to me…(I’m a bit used to people in full and crowded Flanders…)

      Bild
      Bild

      A brandnew relay!! (and NOT a SHITPART one!)
      Bild

      Old (well 1,5 years…) relay… When this happen’t in the Alps (or anywhere else…)…
      Bild

      At 18h00 we we’re of and eading for a campsite; bought a few beers to relax (which was really what I needed…)
      Bild

      Thanks again Johan and Göran(and others)!!!! When in the neighboorhood give me a ring!

      Cheers,

      Carl
