B&B & 1campsite visited, B&B deposit paid, we have 1or2 more beds available there
the price includes breakfast, use of the 'playroom' out back which has pool,darts etc and a nice selection of German bottled beers available for â¬1.5 (softdrinks also available)
there are 2 pubs in the Ruppertshofen, in the next village(Bogel 1km away) there are a couple of steak houses, I tested Lindenhof and its approved![[Image: wink.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif)
2 campsites available
1) http://www.camping-bogel.de/
this one is walking distance (approx 1km other side of Bogel to the B&B)
you have to pay per person, per tent, per bike etc which works out at just less than â¬9 each (actual prices are on the website, no discount available)
no need to book, just turn up, quote carpe-tdm(wave a piece of paper with the carpe logo if poss as their English isnt great) and pitch your tent![[Image: good.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif)
the site here has static caravans that are peoples holiday homes(not available to rent), the camping field is close by, similar arrangement to the RTT07 site
there is also small shop/bar/restaurant onsite
2) http://www.campingplatz-hauserbach.de/
the 2nd is a few km further away but is slightly cheaper at â¬5 each + â¬1 for bike
site has similar facilities to the other one but isnt walking distance for anyone other than Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
the price quoted is discounted and will need to be booked in advance via the B&B folks (thanks Marie for sorting that out![[Image: smile.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif)
)
i can collate numbers for this and arrange with Marie to make life easier
it is possible to do the journey from the port in 4.5hours, but i'd allow 5-6 for normal riding with breaks
i took the scenic route which was approx 600miles and was a lovely ride & took 6-7hours, but i wasnt hanging around
the roads in the area are great fun, the road up from the bridge over the Rhine is fast and sweeping, i had to do that a couple of times![[Image: yeahyeahyeah.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yeahyeahyeah.gif)
Andre is going to organise a couple of ride outs for us, i'm sure that one day he will provide Dandy,Bondy&Mark with some entertainment
watch out for a few topics to follow for things to do in the area![[Image: biggrin.gif]](http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif)
