2012.......Any where unusual and how far?

This usually gets asked around the end of the year. Its a good excuse for some light hearted willy waving and bragging rights, so…

How far did we all get this year? Any where really exotic or off the beaten track? Did any one get to any of the “Stahns” way out east of Moscow? Or head south down into North Africa? How about right OOp North to the Arctic Circle?? Or how about some of the Mediterranean / Greek / Italian islands!..Cyprus or Malta or the Canaries even!

I guess the M/E sellers get the gold medal for distance travelled etc, especially for going via Turkey - Egypt - Saudi!

Any pics as evidence would be greatly appreciated! :laughing: :wink:

Happy 2013 all. :wink:

I went to Sicily. I also went to Romania, all over Italy, Right down to Algeciras. Not bad for a van driver! :wink:

I’ll start us off then…

As well as all the usual places throughout Europe/Scandinavia, I also got to Belarus and Malta for the first time this year.
Best though, had to be the three weeks I had on the Isle of Capri. Not that far, but nice work to get paid for!

Apart from going down to the Island of Giglio of Costa Concordia fame a fair few times nowhere really of note.

I went to Wales. :confused:

I went to t’foot of our stairs :grimacing:

Nothing of real excitement this year :cry:

A fair bit of Spain, South of France a few times, lot of Holland, bit of Germany and some UK from Inverness to Plymouth and all points inbetween :smiley:

North to Kiruna, Sweden.
South to Morroco :open_mouth:
West to St Davids, Wales.
East to Riga, Latvia.

Furthest North I went was Oslo

East- Olomouc in the Czech Rep
West- Cork
Really enjoy the ‘different’ stuff :smiley:

Nowhere really interesting for my work, been doing UK mostly - joys of being part time working student :frowning:

But been to Czech republic with my car, and had few nice jobs to Scottish Highlands, and I love scottish highlands.
