I find myself getting forced to take more time off at work due to a lovely Christmas furlough which is enforced. So I have an extra week off before the big event. Which I want to use productively with the landrover with tent . We didn't manage to even use the tent or LR this year.

So ;
1. Find somewhere with warmth (pro: warmth con: may have to travel a distance)
2. Settle for the UK (Explore Scotland, deepest darkest devon) (Pro: close con: cold/wet)
3. Western Europe somewhere ? (pro: experience con: distance still cold/wet)
4. Use the car and get to Andorra and stock up for Christmas.(pro: oddities and nik naks con: long way, still lousy weather)

Morocco, you have the warmth and can stock up on the ferry for half the cost of Andorra.

Yep, Ferry from Portsmouth to Santander. Then approx a 12 hour drive to Algeciras where you take the ferry to Morocco.

Crap time of the year for tenting. Even Morocco will be chilly.
Borrow a caravan or use hotels to expand your options.

I did from where I live in Suffolk to Algecerias in 29 hours non stop in the Defender, can't say it was the most comfortable trip I have done.
