Romania 2015

[karl webster]

Thanks Guys.
If all goes to plan and I can raise what is needed then it COULD still happen for me.
As said, it is a long way off so fingers crossed.

Clive. If you come over and clean me out that would be great. I would have the deposit needed and I could defo make this trip

I best start putting my orders in for parts then Karl

Incidentally, if there are places available then I might be up for this trip too.

Hey, no hijack Karl, all relevant stuff (even though it's not my thread! to comment!)

Sorry you've been disappointed with the loss of the property, but as they say, never over till the fatty sings, you may still be in with a chance!

Nice to see a date marked up. I'll aim to keep it as free as possible, should be able to sort something out.

been having a lazy long weekend off so been doing some work on the trip and found a road i might look at if it has not been tarmac yet its the 1021 out of campina its only a few miles away from the base







Oh it looks like there are a lot of side trails all around this area so should be fun
One bit of news and its for me really but found a land rover dealer in Bravos

That looks more like a forestry road, so ia unlikely to be tarmacked. Does it have a destination?

 

[ratrace]

its mark up as a road



it goes near a village called Sacele

AFAIK, the DJ 102 I is the road running parallel with the river near Secaria, which is 20 mins from the back of my place, up the hill and back down a serpentine to the village of Secaria.

Its asphalt where it runs by the river, but it could well become a track further along. Sacele is a good way further north, close to Brasov.

A view with Secaria on the left (my place is left of that again) then a step by step zoom in...

Ratrace, hi!

What maps/search method did you use to get those DJ 102 I photos?

 

[ratrace]

same as you

but you need to click the photo link in the bottom right-hand corner

I'll try that on the laptop because those I took on the iPad on a limited version of GE. Most of those asphalt lanes tail out to dirt tracks. there's dozens of them but where they go is another story. Most end up at a small cottage or crofters shelter, but we'll enjoy exploring no doubt!
