We "compromised"p last year
We did a "compromise" a good few years ago. Took the Renault 19 on the ferry Newcastle to Bergen, up the Norwegian M1 including 2 ferry trips across gaps in the motorway and then a right turn into Finland for a week in a luxurious semi-detatched log cabin with private sauna near Yllas. Some distance north of the Artic circle it was possible to read a book at midnight by the light of the sun. Then back home via Sweden, across Norway spending a night in what had been the athlete's village at Lillehammer.
Far far better than the regimented package holidays.....
