The Mt2011 Germany Meet Up Thread - Trevini - 03-12-2010
I thought I'd split this from the original thread as it's getting a bit busy on there and might be better served for more important messages regarding the trip, (as was suggested by Stu in the thread).
It might be an idea if we put our own travel itineries on here so we can meet up where the lines cross, so to speak and work out who's meeting up and where.
Here's mine.
Tunnel crossing booked for Wed 22nd @ 14:20 outbound, Tues 28th @ 13:50 return
Overnight stop over at Amay, Chateau Du Temps Wed 22nd outbound, Monday 27th Return
If anyone is travelling down past this way (Lowestoft) en route to their crossing and wants an overnight stop over, I'm happy to put people up for the night. We'll be looking at leaving around 8:30/9:00 am for a leisurely ride down to the tunnel. I can provide garaging for about 4-5 bikes and a decent breakie for those that stay.
My intended route to the tunnel is A12/M25/A20/M20 if anyone wants to meet up. Oakdene cafe on the A20 near Wrotham springs to mind for any southerners!

After an intense strategy meeting at Catsbum's joint, which involved eating bacon rolls and cake, plus much talking of inane drivel, we've come up with a plan which involves a long trip out to the MT and a dash back with everyone else on the Sunday. (Note to everyone: Cats is a very good cooker of bacon and egg rolls [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/munching_out.gif[/img] )
Leaving on Thursday 16th June from Portsmouth to LeHarve (or Caen), ride across France to Italy making sure we keep south of Switzerland so Tony doesn't spend the rest of the trip in a Swiss jail, riding up through the Aosta mountains in Italy, riding the Stelvio pass, riding another pass which I cant remember the name of, head north to Munich, make a visit to Dachau concentration camp and then arrive at the MT on Thursday 23rd. And before any wag says thats a long ride without stopping, we will obviously camp or B&B along the way [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]
Ali G, Cats and me plan to catch the 13.50 Eurostar home on the 28th and Tony D will probably tour the war graves in Belgium. JHT and Chris G will also hopefully be able to join us all at some point but need to confirm their plans. Any others interested in joining us are obviously more than welcome.
The current ferry options are Brittany ferries Portsmouth to Caen: depart 08.15 arrive 15.00 - £80.00 or LD Lines Portsmouth LeHarve: depart 23.00 and arrive following morning - £58.00 including reserved seat.

Good, hope you can make it Chris.
Give it a couple of days until everyone has been able to confirm arrangements and then we can sort-out ferry and Eurostar bookings to get the cheapest deals by booking as early as poss [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/waiting.gif[/img]

I just had a look at the German Forum and seeing as my German is rather limited I decided to use the auto-translate function. So now I'm very worried about this trip [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif[/img] ...either that Chrome Translator is absolutely useless or every one of the lads on that German forum are utterly and totally plastered ... I'm hoping it's the latter...
Also they seem to have a T-Shirt design T-Shirt at Bottom of this Link
