The Arctic Convoy 2027
Free to join Arctic Convoy leaving 15 January 2027
Open to all vehicles not just 4x4's!
January 2026 saw over 70 vehicles set off to tackle the ice and snow in The Arctic Circle.
For 2027 we have a whole new route, even more off road sections, bigger check points and of course an epic atmosphere as we tackle Scandinavia to reach the most northern point in Europe!
We will be crossing frozen seas and rivers, camping in the wilderness, driving 5000 miles over ice covered roads and spending hour after hour shovelling snow (if you want to tackle the deep stuff!).
What I can promise:
It’s going to be cold, very very cold.
You have a high chance of your vehicle breaking down.
You’ll consume more hotdogs than you think is possible!
You’ll regret not going!
Details:
Departing on the Hull - Rotterdam ferry on Friday 15th January 2027.
A second ferry from Hirtshals (Denmark) to Larvik (Norway) on Sunday 17th January.
The rest of the route we update as we get closer!
Expected mileage is 5000 miles.
We will be using a mixture of wild camps and campsites.
The trip will be around 15 days (leave some flexibility for delays)
What Tyres?
Legally, you must have tyres which hold a 3PMSF rating also known as 3 Peaks winter tyre, but, even these are slippy on the ice covered roads of Scandinavia and for the ultimate grip we recommend studded tyres.
Can I join for just part of the Convoy?
Yes, it's free to join and make of it what you want.
What diesel heater do you recommend?
Diesel heaters come in all shapes and sizes, to fit a whole host of budgets. We use the Amazon diesel heaters (circa £100), we do recommend taking a second as a back up.
