Default Gatebil 2012, Rudskogen

A couple of us will be doing the main event in Rudskogen this year, but wondering if anyone else will be venturing over to Norway? If so, what are your routes and prices you've found best for the entire trip out?

13-15th July, but I'll be going over on the 11th to get my bearings on the area and settle down before the event. We're doing the Harwich to Esbjerg ferry, take a while but worth it. Would have been easier with the Newcastle crossing, but that doesn't exist anymore

Ah mate, see that's where I was sensible about when I proposed...."will you marry me, providing I still get to keep my car and do car shows anywhere I want..."

Not the way I've worked it out fella, got a good deal straight from Harwich to Esjberg which is the closest you can get to Norway via ship
Unless I do the Immingham to Brevik

you do know esjberg that you then have to drive through denmark to get to gothenburg then up to the norweigan border?
http://www.dfdsseaways.co.uk/ferry-routes/
it may be the closest to norway but you have to go back on yourself so-to-speak better go direct (immingham/harwich-gothenburg) 4 hours drive your at gatebil
have a good time anyhow pal which ever way to travel,p.m me nearer the date if you want to stop off in my town i,ll show you round (english lad living in sweden)
