Namibia 2025
December 24, 2025 at 1:46 pmThis was our first trip with Great Road Journeys; we had booked for 2026 but whilst in Romania we had an email from Steve saying there was a cancellation for 2025 and would we like to go – so we did! The route looked something like this – starting in Windhoek, south to the Orange More Namibia 2025 →
Norfolk Churches Run
December 23, 2025 at 12:02 pmThis annual event is organised to raise money for Churches in Norfolk. In the past we started from Norwich Cathedral where, after a bacon roll and cup of coffee, the cars left via the Erpingham Gate (built in 1420), with the Bishop blessing the first few, waving to the next and then joining the rally More Norfolk Churches Run →

The 7 C’s of Switzerland
December 22, 2025 at 10:12 amThe Grand Tour of Switzerland is a route mapped out by the tourist board and sounds good but our tour was called The Seven ‘C’s of Switzerland. It was very gentle– we did more miles travelling to/from the start than we did in Switzerland but there again it is a small country! We met up More The 7 C’s of Switzerland →
Sri Lanka 2023
December 21, 2025 at 6:10 pmWe start at Waikkal and go clockwise round the island. Allison’s father served with the RAF at Batticaloa during WW2 and she has been in touch with a very friendly tourist office there and exchanged emails and photos – a deviation from the route so we’ll see if we can trace any connections there. Now More Sri Lanka 2023 →
Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan
December 21, 2025 at 6:08 pmAnother week and we will arrive in Almaty and hopefully find the red Elan waiting at our hotel. After a long period of idleness, the first day is some 600 kms so hope its feeling good! Start day -4 Just heard from the rally organiser that the Elan has got stuck in reverse gear – More Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan →
Classic Persia
December 21, 2025 at 6:03 pmOctober 21st – tourist day! We took the bus again and really the only times we got off were to change busses or to go on boat trips – and both boats we only made by the skin of our teeth, one had already cast off but as there were only 8 other passengers it More Classic Persia →
Arctic Highway Challenge
December 21, 2025 at 6:00 pm12 July – we arrive in Travemunde at around 9pm after about 30 hours on a very calm ferry crossing from Helsinki (about 1150 km). Yesterday was the 300 mile drive to Helsinki, which started on glorious roads – wit no speed cameras! We had some confusion as Allison was adamant that we should be More Arctic Highway Challenge →
Himalayan Elan
December 21, 2025 at 5:59 pmOur 2007 trip was to the roof of the world or as near as we could manage. Our trip was to India, Nepal and Bhutan, the car may not have actually seen Everest – but we did from a chartered sightseeing jet from Kathmandu airport! The trip was planned well in advance and the cars More Himalayan Elan →
Moscow/St Petersberg 2019
December 21, 2025 at 5:55 pmMoscow/St Petersberg 2019 The yellow Elan should have been good to go to Moscow after its abortive trip to New Zealand – but maybe being stuck in a container for so long was not good for it. Everything about the rear nearside corner needed attention – there was movement in the drive shaft so I More Moscow/St Petersberg 2019 →
