Tuesday, a driving day. From Ribe to Frederikshavn. About 200 miles. Connie is behaving well and giving her all for 38 mpg. We’ve discovered that diesel fuel prices change through the day, cheapest at early morning and late evening and most expensive in the commute. Supply and demand.

A further 2 hour drive and we arrived at Charlottenlund fort campsite just to the north of Copenhagen. The site is inside the defences of a fort on the shoreline, complete with cann...
