"Long Way Round" - thoughts for a summer trip

Having bought the Disco on the pretence of doing it up for a long expedition
tour my wife is making noises about when we're going to do it.

So, I'm now having to plan it.

My current thoughts are to take a North Sea Ferry to somewhere in the north
of mainland Scandiwegia and then toodle down through Scandiwegia and the
baltic nations and head back to England from a ferry port somewhere
en-route. Ideally we'd make for Calais, but I'm not sure this is practical.

Anybody done this or anything similar would care to share their experiences?

I'm more for the south. Interested in Sahara experiences (for a winter
trip). Any around?

Hi Fred,

I will be travelling through France, Spain, Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal and
Gambia, maybe into Guinea as well, in early January 2005 - fancy going
across the desert together. I will be taking the new road if it is finished
on the Atlantic Route or along the beach.

Tempting.

However, the problem is that at the moment I can't go for very long (family
things such as school, etc.)

Any info anywhere on that new road?
