Hi
In 2003 I did the Cape to cape Challenge, which is a NON- STOP drive taking the shortest route from Nordkapp (North cape ) to Tarifa ( bit Further south than Gib) We did the 3500 mls in 64hrs 40mins. in a bog standard 1995 300 tdi Discovery.
We did this in Mid-summer, Norway and Sweden had 24hrs of daylight, all the roads that we used were great. The scenery was amazing, one thing that most sticks in my memory was my other half standing on a large patch of snow at midnight wearing sunglasses B)
The only road that gave us any problems at all was the only road up to Nordkapp from Honningsvag wich was narrow very graveley and very twisty, we had to negociate this at a constant 30mph in order to achieve our maximum speed throughout the event (without breaking any speed limits)
Can wholeheartedly recomend the whole drive ,would do it again.
Incidentally we raised £6000 for Riding for the Disabled and won the 4x4 class and the mixed team Class.
