8 countries, 3,685 miles driving from Dorset to Rovaniemi for Christmas
Leaving December 21st from Lytchett Matravers in Dorset. The destination is Rovaniemi, Finland - Santa's official hometown - arriving around Christmas Day.
Route: UK to Folkestone, ferry to Calais, through Hamburg, then the long one - 1,310 miles straight up to Rovaniemi. That leg alone is 24.5 hours of driving. Return comes back through Kokkola, Kaskinen, Åstorp, and Antwerp, home by January 1st.
8 countries. 3,685 miles. 77 hours behind the wheel across 12 days. Total estimated cost: £837 in fuel and tolls. Full itinerary + cost breakdown https://www.wildertrips.com/share/uudHpsro0udZunm2UW5WR?fpr=overview .
The Hamburg-to-Rovaniemi stretch in late December is the part I'm least certain about. Finnish winter roads are genuinely new territory for me. If anyone's done that haul in December, I'd love to know what conditions are actually like on the ground.
