have spoken to an English lady who approached us in her dutch registered MH, after a while she told us your English is good, then pointing out she had approached us as she thought we were dutch due to yellow rear plate :)

English girl married a dutch man who died suddenly and young, now working out what to do by driving round Scandanavia on her own, she has been away for 4 months already, no planned return date

"Denmark, Sweden, Norway?" I'm not surprised you haven't seen many British, most of us opt for some sunshine, not even more rain and cold :LOL: no offence.

We've had the same experience but now in Spain and the number of British vans has increased significantly in fact the total number vans has increased significantly!

We were up there earlier this year and whilst in Sweden people asked what are Brits doing here they usually go South hardly saw another Brit in the thirteen weeks in Scandinavia! Great place to go though(y)(y)(y)(y)

We went to Norway in 1987, in the days when you could catch a ferry from Newcastle to Bergen. I have spent every day since then wanting to go back because it's fabulous. It will have to wait until I retire though because it now means a long trek to get there, although I shall enjoy ambling up through Holland, Denmark and Sweden.

Also see a couple of NL vans parked up in the car park.

Sorry David but mid teens is not in my definition of warm.

Glad you re having a nice time though.

Lots of british (possibly a few too many) in Spain. Lovely weather by coast but cool night up at Cuenca 2c this morning. Brrrrrr!!!

Couldn't agree more - we went over there on a motorbike on that ferry back in the mid 90's, loved it, fabulous country. Like you it's high on the list of places to visit once retired (only 15 years to go.........). Such a shame the ferry stopped.

That would do me very nicely. I can't stand it much above the low 20s.
