A few photos from the road run, or rather off road run.

Meeting at Hoytorp Fort, Mysen Norway August 13-15 2010, located south of Oslo to guard against the swedes. Read more abouth the fort at http://www.forthoytorp.com/default.html I just dropped by for a couple of hours to shoot some photos, but was lucky enough to be invited to the road run with different puzzles along the track. Guessing the weight of ww2 weapons, caliber, shooting with airpistols and quiz. Something for the whole family. Very international this year with several swedish vehicles, but also a guy from England who'd really been travelling this summer. Marty

I realize that I fell in love with Scotland last summer! :-) Marty

Now you know how much I liked it! Thanks! Marty

Wow, great photos! i guess this is an event not to be missed! The 2 year old here just loves tanks, so this just might be next years destination. Marty

Looked like you had a lot of fun! A different approach, that I really liked! Thanks for sharing! Marty

I liked the red arrows! :-) Marty

You really have a nice collection of various things. Must have been a nice display you put on. Marty

Looks like a really nice place to have the meeting, with the old castle and a even a lake where you could play with the water hose. The british mvs really must have felt at home here. Thanks for posting! Marty

Hmmmm, I didn't realize that the Germans had that many helicopters and that they actually used them as well. You learn something everyday. In the youtube video there's one that does a loop!? Is that right, I thought only the Lynx did that? Thanks for posting! Marty

That's the Coyote TSV isn't it? The Jackals big brother! Marty

I just got the latest issue of MMI, which featured just my kind of trip. In fact this was the reason I bought the Dodge in the first place. Unfortunately there's capitol punishment in Norway for going off-road. The article, about two Jeeps going into the scottish highlands, is simply the best article I've seen in months. A two day trip into the highlands, camping, off-roading and enjoying the scenery. They even pass a Bailey bridge on their way along Wade's road! :-) Beautiful photos by Wayne Mitchelson and words by John Carroll. You better check it out! I really hope I can go camping like that this summer, but my GF expects something to be done with the old kitchen... :-( Marty

Nice! Unfortunately this doesn't help me at all! Now I want a RC plane more than ever! We'll see this weekend, I just might buy myself a little summer present! :-) Thanks anyway! marty

It's about time to do some work again... The Jimmy has lost a lot of weight since last post! Marty

Well, I do believe that I promised a few more photos... Marty

I read that a total of 9,521 V1's were fired against Britain during the war and that it caused a 22,892 casualties. Marty

You're right about the torpedoe! I will see if I can name the different guns later tonight. Have close up of the different guns. Marty

To end this report, I'd like to recommend a visit here. Especially during the summer. You have to take a ferry from either Drøbak or Aker Brygge in Oslo. You can stay at the hotel on the island and there's also a Spa there. It's a great place to picnic, so bring the whole family. I'll do that this summer. The guides there are great and you can also visit the torpedo battery. Marty

The museum inside the fort. Marty

The commandants quarters. Other buildings. Marty
