Hardly an expedition, but in august im driving through these countries, and obviously back again, although i will be in Slovakia for a week, hiking beleive it or not :eek:
Any advise on driving through any of these countries greatly appreciated,
i think in all of them you need a first aid kit, fire putter outter, high viz vests, triangle and spare bulb kits?

Hi if you go Dover - Dunkerque (Norfolk line) less than 20k and your in Belgium!
we have used this route before but after Germany, Austria then Slovenia. Great people if you are going to the lakes, go past Bled and on to Bohinj we camped at Zlatorog next to the hotel right on the lake, with more hiking than you can shake a stick at.
We did it on our motorcycle.had a great time.
This year Tunisia in the RRC.
regards
Dave

Hi mate - I'm an ex-pat now living in Slovakia. If you're over this way I can offer you free accomodation with us and workshop facilities. If you come to Slovakia you HAVE to drive to the High tatras mountain range (bout three hours from us here) we live just ouside a Spa town in middle Slovakia.
Do you know if anyone from the UK is planning a trip over here - I have a sankey in the UK I need dragged over and don't fancy a round trip JUST for that purpose!
