litcoat Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Alright all, as the title says, has anyone done it, I thought there may be some ferry from somewhere in Scotland but all I can find is a ferry from Denmark, Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Ferry from Denmark via the Faroe Islands was the only option when I looked couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Bear in mind national speed limit is 55mph and is rigidly enforced with big fines as I know from personal experience. Also bear in mind that many of the most spectacular roads are gravel ones and for the really spectacular ones you definitely need a 4x4. 4x4 hire is quite expensive there though - with all the bells and whistles you're looking at c. £600 per week for the likes of a Vitara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKARM Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I was thinkign its probably not the best roads for a Westfield.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 thought about doing Denmark, Sweden and Norway instead? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKARM Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I thought about that. Then I look at how long it would take! It was a week and half to get to the arctic circle.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTR2Turbo Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 In my experience Norway is great roads, Sweden OK but Denmark a bit boring You used to ne able to take a boat from Newcastle to Bergen but it may have stopped running recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Pete Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 The SKCC ran a 5000 mile trip to the Artic Circle two years ago, write up here if you need any inspiration: http://southernkitcars.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4970&hilit=norway&start=140 Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litcoat Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Probably the easy option, fly there and hire a car, won't be as much fun being stuck in a tin top, I thought there must be some sort of ferry from the UK, likely not.

Rhett Turner - Black Country AO Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Don't know when you are planning to go but I would not have wanted to be in the Westi when I went (mid April), it was very cold, with an icy wind that would cut straight through you and at times we traveled through several inches of snow. All the cars had studded ties and I was glad we were in a 4 wheel drive (VW Tiguan). It was brill and I'm glad we went when we did with very changeable weather, (there is an Icelandic saying, if you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes, it was true) it helped to make a for truly memorably holiday. I guess at the correct time of the year with the correct weather gear driving around in an open top could be memorable also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
