The route, day by day
Where you start, where you stop, how far you drive. The stages and pace of the trip, so you can tell whether it is for you.
This is where you find the community’s travel stories: the route day by day, the campsites where you sleep well, the stops worth making and practical tips for anyone who wants to set off in a van. Fewer diagrams, more road.
Itineraries are a new section, born from a suggestion by Luciano «ulan_bator» and opened with his trip to Flanders. For now there is just one, but more are on their way.
These are personal stories, not official guides: prices, opening times and campsites may have changed since the year of the trip. Always check before you leave.
No tourist brochures: only trips actually made, in a van, told the way you would tell a friend.
Where you start, where you stop, how far you drive. The stages and pace of the trip, so you can tell whether it is for you.
Campsites and stopovers actually tried, with the prices paid and an honest verdict: what is there, what is missing, what people like.
The places worth the detour, with photos and a few lines on why we stopped.
The little things you learn on the road: how to get around, what to bring, what to avoid. The ones you will not find in tourist guides.
Every T4 trip has something to say: a road that is not on the satnav, a campsite worth the detour, a place to go back to. If you have been there, tell the story.
Open a topic on the forum with the story, the photos and the stops. We will bring it here keeping the author credited.
Is there a place you would like to read about, or a trip someone in the community has already made? Write to us on Telegram: we will put it on the list.
We also need people who can proofread a story, tidy up photos or translate a text. Everything helps, nothing goes to waste.
The holiday starts the moment you leave the box.
