These are the best selection of maps - just need to know where about's the planned route is and then get the maps - you could if you wanted do a large flat bed scan of a map then geo ref yourself... would be a 'bit of work' but a nice thing to have.. some of the hiking maps are very detailed... just depends if the location is right.

No they have bars with my fav drink BEER
how do u get on in Morocco as there are no pubs
 
Hi Andy,

I'd be interested in the topo maps if you could point me in the right direction ...

thanks

I have a load of old topographic maps for whole of Romania in Ozi format
"found" them on the web a couple years ago

two problems
1) the are old
2) they cant easily be merged into a single huge map, because they have borders round the individual maps sheets (scanned from paper copies i assume) so you would have to work with separate map tiles or use photoshop to crop each one to remove the border, then adjust the georef points in Ozi.
i did this for the old morocco maps i have and it took ages, and romania has 100's more tiles!

but ozi does load adjacent map tiles as you drive along, it just makes the planning part harder
 
try these oh there are a few of them,

you can download in jpeg format

All very interesting stuff guys and thanks for the pointers.

Trouble is, most of it went over my head until PUBS were mentioned :lol:

Actually there are no pubs, but there are bars, so if you like beer, there's good beer here. It's lightish, lagerish, and theres a few darks to choose from. Otherwise there's always Vodka and home brew tuica which is a clear plumb brandy around 40 percent :dance:

ratrace - they are the ones I have in ozi format

will send you a PM Reinhard
 
8 pages, 150 posts and this trip is still 2 years away !!!
 
This thread has gone very quiet... Ratrace?? Clive??

Bump !!
 
still here and still going but i always look at trips at least 18 months in advance because of time to get everything in place.
 
Oddly enough i was looking at camping equipment earlier today wondering how to make the trip more comfortable for Helen . Is a trailer really that bad an idea ?
 
Do you really want to do that much towing??

I do lots of towing and every time I take the trailer off I always go ahhhh! What a relief.

What are you going to put in it you can't put in/on the LC?

Plus Romania is full of lovely cheap cabanas in the areas the lads are talking about. And they all do nice simple food, so if your looking for a bit of comfort just stay in them and save the hardship of the trailer!
 
it depends how long u are taking to there and back

Me, it will be 3 nights and 4 days of driving so will use two overnight tents only as clivehorridge will kindly put us while we are there The problem with the trailer i think might be the extra cost of fuel also u will have to get tax for the trailer as u drive in different counties
 
A trailer tent is what i'm thinking of and they weigh next to nothing so i imagine i would likely forget its behind me . I had one years ago and the level of comfort is leaps and bounds beyond anything a tent can offer . I would be happy to just sleep in the truck wash in a river and grab food at roadside cafes and i'm sure Helen would do the same if i asked her to but i want her to enjoy the trip rather than endure it .
 
YYY
