I am going to Sweden for my holiday in the Disco,
The objective it to find a nice bit of woodland by a lake, pitch a tent and chill, taking in a few sites on the way and moving about a bit over a two week stay.
Anyone been to Sweden on a similar trip can give me a few little gems. That would be great???

yes i have, pretty much drove straight through and into Finland but its worth stopping at a place called Braehaus( its a lovely service station that has its own sweet making shop where you can watch them making sweets and you can also cross under the road and visit a castle ruin and its a great view over this massive lake thats about 50miles long and the islands worth a visit too not sure where you catch the ferry to it but i remember spending a night camping there ! - its on the E20 (the Helsingor -Stockholm road)

No, but I'm going to Norway in a Disco on Saturday :)

if you get far enough north in Norway, Trondheim is a lovely city

Bit late on this one but I think the town making sweets is Grenna just north of Jonkoping where I work (for a few more weeks)
The lake is Vatern (Swedens second largest lake) and the Island is Visingso on which there is a fantastic restaurant.
Ferry is taken from Grenna

Drove most of the coast in my 90 the main thing that stcks in my memory is that Norway was better...... They don't like diesel either not all filling stations sell it :shocked:

A few of us made the trip to the Swedish Land Rover Club 20th Anniversary event last August.
The event was based here.
You can camp or rent a log cabin (large shed :shock:)

Drove from Northern border with Finland down the coast of the Gulf of Bosnia , through Stockholm and across to Helsingborg , Malmo and the Oresund bridge into Denmark last year , depending where your sailing into any of these places are worth a visit , Jonkoping has a "mediterranean" feel .
Enjoy it .

Just back from Southern Sweden about an hour and a half east of Malmo.
We travelled Harwich - Esbjerg rtn. Much easier than driving up from Dunkerque :shock:
I think the West-Mids crew were on board as we were ambushed by Pirates in the restaurant.(2 Bottles of Bud and 2 Buffet meals £58-00) :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed: :pirate: :D :D :D :D :afro:
If i could summon the courage next time i go i won't be coming back 8-[

You'd have to shout loudly, as Children of Bodom are from Finland ;)
