I don't really know what part I play in these proceedings, but maybe I can be permitted to recap in a summary way, how this thread and the "plan" (whatever that may be as of now) has developed.
It all started with ratrace suggesting a trip to Romania and whether anyone else was interested. He suggested Deva, in the extreme west of Romania, and I casually (but most genuinely) suggested I would be pleased if the group came to my place in Comarnic, some 400km further east. The potential Group as it was then, were in favour, rat race included, so that became the plan.
I'm ready for the group to stay at my place for as short or long as they wish and I'm still open to that. In the meantime, several of the initially interested members have dropped out, which is not unusual, and there's a little hardcore of 4 or 5 trucks that are still keen to come. These are from memory, Ratrace, Chas, Shayne, and some others which escape me without going back through the thread, and most recently Lyn is showing an interest. Forgive me if I've left people out, it's not intentional!
Therefore, on the issue of how much offroad there will be, I'm out of the discussion as far as the "to" and "from" journey is concerned, that's up to you guys.
However, while you're with me (for however long you choose) I feel obliged and willing to take you on some of the little trips local to me. These can be pure asphalt to visit castles and touristy stuff, and/or some offroad to the degree of difficulty that you want.
There are loads of routes that are forest tracks and will do no damage other than getting a bit muddy, and there are some that need care. Remember, there's paint on my truck that I don't want to damage either!
Thats it really, I don't want anyone to suffer damage, me included, but I would like to think you've all got the best out of your visit. I'll do my best to see to that, which may be limited because I don't get enough time to myself to explore.
Ultimately, it's all up to you guys. I also have an idea to travel west with you when you leave, just for a day and night perhaps, then say farewell and return home, leaving you to your return journey to the UK.
Your trip is circa 2 weeks, 2-3 days each way, and circa one week in Romania. It's a big country, and you won't see it all by a long way. My advice would be to plan target areas and focus on them, otherwise you'll drive around aimlessly and end up seeing nothing. That would be a shame.
I can offer countryside, mountains, lakes, valleys, asphalt, forest roads, and offroad. End of.
Looking forward to seeing you all immensely

are you serious 
there must be something better ?
But it's warm and cosy and our pride & joy.
i wonder if there's a lighter version that's easier on the eye ?
