This guide is part of the new format of 'Country Guides' we will write to try and provide some of the information we struggled to obtain while researching our trip. It is based on our own experiences and is provided in good faith but your own experience and impressions may differ to ours. We hope that you find it of use and will encourage you to visit. 
 
 
Country Facts 
Country Code (DK), Currency DKK, Capital Copenhagen, Full EU Member. Schengen Country; no visa requirements for EU citizens. There are no import restrictions but there are export limitations for alcohol and tobacco. 
 
Road Vignette Required? 
NO. 
 
Toll Roads 
No, but there are tolls on bridges. Oresund Bridge joining Denmark to Sweden costs €40 for motorhomes up to 6m and €80 for motorhomes over 6m. Storebaelt Bridge (linking eastern and western Denmark) costs €31 up to 6m and €47 over 6m. 
 
 
Road Condition ★★★★★ 
Excellent.  
All main arterial and side roads which we encountered in 2011 were excellent. 
 
Driving Standard ★★★★★ 
Excellent. 
Be wary of right turns as pedestrians have right of way. 
 
Winter Tyres Required 
Not by law but is highly recommended 
 
 
Diesel, LPG & Autogas 
Diesel/Bifyl. Fuel prices vary depending on the time of day, the only pattern we could muster is that it seems cheaper in the evenings. Be wary of Automatic stations which have a surcharge. Practice filling up where you see it cheapest rather than when you are nearly empty as the variation can be as much as 25p! 
LPG is rare and expensive but is available if required. Click <a href="http://www.visitdenmark.dk/international/en-gb/menu/turist/turistinformation/a-z/autogas.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a> for a list of LPG Stations in Denmark.

Official Aires / Service Points ★★★★★ 
Generally Good. There are a handful of aires but the ones publicised in 'All the Aires' as being free, now largely charge so beware. Wild Camping opportunities are frequent and this is perfectly legal to do so, especially around beaches and marina locations. There is a 'grey area' between the 'No Camping' signs and what constitutes as 'Camping' - i.e. getting your chairs out etc. If you don't fancy risking it you'll be sure to find somewhere else to stop just down the road. 
 
 
 
Campsites ★★★★★ 
Generally Good.  
When it comes to campsites, they are geared up to cater for the Danish obsession with Caravans, although stopovers are encouraged through the 'Quick Stop' scheme. That said, Denmark is an expensive place to visit and in our view the best way to offset that cost is to Wild Camp - which is perfectly legal and practised by all the visiting nationalities. There are plenty of signs emerging specifying "No Camping" in some popular locations as to be expected, but finding somewhere to stop close by is not hard. 
 
 
Availability of Fresh Water / Waste Disposal ★★★★★ 
Generally Good.  
Fresh water and waste disposal is available at a number of dedicated service points on the main motorway networks (click here for link) We also found both fresh water and chemical toilet disposal at many marina's, check with the harbour master before doing so to avoid ruining it for future visitors. 
 
 
Free / Wild Camping ★★★★★ 
Excellent. 
City Camp is available for central Copenhagen or there are lots of Wild Camping opportunities, see our blog posts and summary's below for more info.

Price Index / Food and Supermarkets ★★★★★ 
You'd be wise to stock up with food and alcohol prior to entering Denmark; the Lidl's in Germany are excellent for doing so. If you have the capacity to bring enough food and alcohol for your visit then do so, we found bottled water especially hard to come by (due in part to the 35p refundable deposit you pay on bottles, vs 8p in Germany) and a strange absence of fresh fish. If you're making your way to other Scandinavian countries afterwards, you'll be wondering why you didn't stock up with more food! We found fuel prices on par with Germany and other EU countries nearby.

Eating & Drinking Out 
Generally expensive, we found that a takeaway sandwich and drink could set you back up to £14. 
 
 
Availability of Open Wifi ★★★★★ 
Our success rate for finding unsecured Wi-Fi in Denmark was 59%. 
 
 
 
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5GoB-ebc0ntr37LILc79y-LDznHPCRv8zQAsTnbeMEMFN_8bxwDM67MuVYGbkoNg9NPEn3a3sshLGHyPEx64MD4wRlD_LZOHYLcV9KUukxwrhO76b_zGtIlWtj-THZT32W4T9M4zydjw/s1600/IMG_3505_6_7_fused.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5GoB-ebc0ntr37LILc79y-LDznHPCRv8zQAsTnbeMEMFN_8bxwDM67MuVYGbkoNg9NPEn3a3sshLGHyPEx64MD4wRlD_LZOHYLcV9KUukxwrhO76b_zGtIlWtj-THZT32W4T9M4zydjw/s200/IMG_3505_6_7_fused.jpg" width="200" /></a>Denmark is a clean and safe country and from the look of some of the improvements which are on-going, it stands to get even better. Every town has an excellent tourist information office with thick, full colour glossy materials available in every language. The reality when you scratch the surface is a lot of the attractions are manmade and some of the towns offer little by way of history with any real narrative. The flat terrain is perfect for cycling and if beaches are your thing Denmark holds countless prestigious "Blue Beach" awards and the beaches are worthy of any Mediterranean destination (fingers crossed for the weather, 27c Easter Weekend 2011). Anyone under 40 will without doubt speak fluent English and many older people too, we heard very little other than English music on the radio during our time there.

Denmark is made up of three main Islands: Jutland, Funen and Zealand. The trip to the most northern point of the first island, Skagen, is a worthwhile visit to see the mysterious sight of the two seas lapping over each other but the journey there and back is largely unrewarding save for a handful of nice bits and pieces. Ribe, Arhus (if you're under 40) and the mysterious dune covered Ringkobing Fjord were our personal highlights, not forgetting Lego Land - worth a whip round and free to get in 30 minutes before the rides close where the park stays open for a further 2 hours. 
 
Much of Denmark’s parking is free but limited by time; you will need a Parking Disc displaying your arrival time so best get one before you set off.

We had an interesting conversation with someone who has been following our blog recently, in that she said you always have such an amazing time surely something must have gone wrong during your trip? Well, yes actually – it did 
 
 
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFZsMIX-P2DDSiym33cvyLumhZKYzPTBIoBdlYZPKN0KnExwKaOB_9hbNG9DnakMzFEEHFFlBcQnMNMr2Pc5j9h2_5KzfZ_1o6R63i59HoTSt6QkUNOuO7m5tIiqnJfvoTm0twn5auegE/s1600/Hanko+%25283%2529+%2528Large%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFZsMIX-P2DDSiym33cvyLumhZKYzPTBIoBdlYZPKN0KnExwKaOB_9hbNG9DnakMzFEEHFFlBcQnMNMr2Pc5j9h2_5KzfZ_1o6R63i59HoTSt6QkUNOuO7m5tIiqnJfvoTm0twn5auegE/s320/Hanko+%25283%2529+%2528Large%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a>Wrong Turns 
 
As a Navigator, Sophie usually does a good job – after all we’ve got three navigation aids mounted to the dashboard! However they don’t document cycle tracks particularly well and while in Norway we managed to head off down such a track narrowly passing between cafes and their outside seating arrangements while getting some bemused stares from the locals! 
 
 
Breakdowns 
 
We actually broke down twice while we were away. The first time was in the South of France when the van alerted us to the fact that the oil was low. A quick inspection revealed that it wasn’t so much low as it was pouring out of the bottom of the engine! This fortunately happened literally outside of Fiat Professional agent who after an initial assessment of “catastrophic!” was later downgraded to a loose oil filter and a bill for £30. We blame the Romanian roads! 
 
The later breakdown was in the worse possible place. Morocco. Or so we thought! When the van failed to start some drama ensued finding and bringing Mechanics back to the van only for them to twist two wires together and it start in a few seconds. Fuel cut off solenoid was the diagnosis. 
 
 
Parking Tickets 
 
We picked up a fine in Bergan while Wild Camping at the side of the road because we were “within 12 metres of a bus stop”. A fairly obscure offence but probably not to Norwegians! We didn’t pay the fine and we’ve not heard anything about it over a year later. 
 
 
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFt1EOUEAs1DeJ6Bo30c9RVpYBSFVUw-5A2WhZx2i2WU95tfvPWRfY7qX6HqsFDMXq0yxGNQ3kXIFz-xHwNkFTlydAW4clixPOAcpEn80201KSA4TSYCGejbNdgwEIZDTtdwwN2ptwXac/s1600/IMG_8436.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFt1EOUEAs1DeJ6Bo30c9RVpYBSFVUw-5A2WhZx2i2WU95tfvPWRfY7qX6HqsFDMXq0yxGNQ3kXIFz-xHwNkFTlydAW4clixPOAcpEn80201KSA4TSYCGejbNdgwEIZDTtdwwN2ptwXac/s320/IMG_8436.JPG" width="320" /></a>Getting Stuck 
 
When Wild Camping in Greece we arrived at a beach near Parga where at least 15 others vans were present camping on the pier. We pulled off the road to check it out on foot to decide where we were going to park up. Easy enough, only we’d inadvertently pulled onto a particularly soft patch of sand and consequently got stuck up to our axels in the soft stuff. Bollocks! With help from two Germans and a Dutch, we eventually rock and push the van out of its rut. 
 
Toilet Incidents 
 
We have a degree of bad luck when it comes to our chemical toilet and after a year of use it’s fair to say we have experienced much of what can go wrong with such a setup. The two incidents which stand out among others are when poor Sophie was having difficulty opening the trap after a Number 1. It turns out that the pressure had built up in the cassette after climbing over 1,000 metres into the Greek hills and when she eventually managed to open it the pressure blew the contents back into the van and all over unsuspecting Sophie. Fortunately our toilet is also in our shower room so a quick shower ensued and we both joked over how things could have been much worse if other “debris” had come into play! 
 
The second incident was when our cassette indicated it was full with the red light illuminating on the tank. We continued on to our destination but unfortunately a mixture of an ill-fitting disposal lid and again altitude pressure resulted in the unit overflowing. Upon arriving at our destination we were greeted with, shall we say a large brown go-faster stripe down the side of the van where the contents had leaked out and dried while in motion. We feel sorry for anyone traveling behind us! We are now firmly of the belief that when the red light comes on, it’s already too late. 
 
Nasty Water  
 
We usually fill two water containers before filling our fresh tanks, but on one occasion at Katakolo in Greece we didn’t. We had wondered why the cafes had refused to serve us tap water with our coffee and it transpired that the local water supply was a murky brown. Unfortunately we didn’t realise this until nearly 90 litres later, thank goodness for the drain down plug! 
 
In Poland we noticed a nasty plastic taste in our on-board tanks, so bad that it actually felt like it was burning your mouth! We tried all sorts of flushing out and drops but couldn’t get to the route course. Two weeks later we discovered by accident that there was nothing wrong with our on-board tanks, but the high chlorine content of the water in Poland had reacted with our ridged hosepipe we were using for filling, which was contaminating the tank on every fill! 
 
Brakes 
 
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh26c_iGvR4h-Eu82U8sPP44n8IM4Z_lC5gASl29yEMTCKcWnFj-bMgodPhdEMlFKb4jj_m96h0F-oHU5SHdxNdtDDA2nF4tHKmlacOpm5Jq4oZVV79J249xt5R8iPAM25G5L4NV3Q3KzI/s1600/P1160001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh26c_iGvR4h-Eu82U8sPP44n8IM4Z_lC5gASl29yEMTCKcWnFj-bMgodPhdEMlFKb4jj_m96h0F-oHU5SHdxNdtDDA2nF4tHKmlacOpm5Jq4oZVV79J249xt5R8iPAM25G5L4NV3Q3KzI/s320/P1160001.JPG" width="320" /></a>Upon arriving in Morocco our van promptly informed us that our brake pads were low. We found a brand spanking new Fiat dealership on the outskirts of Marrakesh where men in white overalls were unpacking diagnostic equipment and polishing their Snap-On tool chests. Brake pads were below them but the parts centre in Marrakesh did have them. After a couple of hair raising attempts we decided we’d manage – and manage we did for another 5,000 miles. Needless to say new discs and pads were fitted as soon as we got home!

We got asked a few times recently if we write the content specifically for Motorhome Monthly Magazine, the answer is no - they have just been lifting it straight from our blog (warts and all!) and we send them through some high resolution images. 
 
We never really thought when we wrote our blog that our mutterings would be worthy of printed media but I must say we're really enjoying seeing our photos in full colour print! To read it in full online and for free click here: <a href="http://www.calameo.com/read/0000043065c33de55c42c" target="_blank">Motorhome Monthly Magazine - June</a></div>

We're really, really sorry we've not updated the blog in so long. We promised it wouldn't happen just because we were back in the UK and we won't let it happen again, we'll be updating at least once a week from now on!

In recent news, Sophie and I are just back from the Peterborough show after launching a little business venture, <a href="http://www.motorhomewifi.com/" target="_blank">Motorhome WiFi</a>. We did this on the back of the several thousand people who have read one of the most popular pages on our site ‘Internet Access in Europe’ and e-mailed us asking for information and advice. We thought, rather than promoting someone else’s products on our site, we’d take the products that worked for us along with some custom mounts and put them to a wider audience and the result was a resounding success. 
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
What overwhelmed us most of all were the 100+ people who recognised us personally and had been following our progress as we toured around Europe. It really means a lot to us to know that you have enjoyed reading about our travels enough to recognise us and come up and say hello! Hello to all of you and I’m sorry if we didn’t remember you all by name, although a few stand out! <o:p></o:p>

We’ve had lots of e-mails asking how we’ve adjusted to life back in the UK and apart from the weather we’re doing OK. Adam is still working for himself with lots of web projects on the go and Sophie is working for SMART so we’ve got an awesome little convertible SMART car to run around in… a bit of a change from a 6m camper van! 
 
We’d like to replace our van soon but we’re not sure what route to go down next… Perhaps we try a Self Build? We’ve looked at some UK based panel van conversions so watch out for some information on those as we look into them!</div>
