Interesting when you leave a deposit in a German shitbowl, there's a shelf there so you can analyse it - what's all that about then???????

It's the same all over mainland Europe. Think it's an old religious thing - sort of like a mini Harvest Festival, where you take a moment to ponder on life's goodness (or maybe its "passing"?) Probably goes back to the old Roman consultation of entrails (Pity help you if you find any after a hard night on the Weissbier , mind you!!)

Ah! That explains what Readie was doing at Wicky's BBQ!

Thank God us Belgians stick to the straight-into-the-water deposit...
Although the succeeding splash can be a little discomforting as well

[TonyDevil]

the shelf is something to do with pork and worms according to whoever it was that i asked.....

no limit to numbers as yet, and everyone is welcome to come over for however long they wish.

the Ruppertshofen we want is below

we did manage to get the wrong one with the GPS when we left Leichenstein which resulted in a longer day than we were expecting
lesson learned : always check the map to ensure the GPS has picked up the correct destination.

if anyone knows of a campsite in the area (or a website with a list of german campsites etc) then i'd be grateful, my investigation is handicapped by babelfish translations.

the other alternative is to find somewhere that has both B&B and camping facilities.

Sounds like it's time to take up kind offers of help, e.g. from <b>Stonie, Erdferkel</b> and <b>TDM-rheinlaender</b>?

Their meeting site in Schwaben has both facilities, but is a bit further to go.

lol Pict, are you bored again?
dont panic mate, i'll have a chat with Andre this week and point out our dilema.
if I cant find a campsite close by and the B&B folks cant help us then i'll look at alternative locations that offer both camping and B&B.
if we need to change location then we can re-evaluate and see what people want to do re: dates,locations&other clubs

[Stonie]

Don't Panic.... i'am here... or is this the reason of panic???

There is a campingsite very close (2km) to ruppertshofen. here is the link: camping-bogel

i've found it using google and don't know anything about the place, except the informations on the website. hope its helps!?

[TonyDevil]

thanks for the find!

is this close enough for people to mingle for the evenings entertainment?
or will we end up with us and them? between campers and B&Bers ?

[iand1947]

Run by Brunhilde - a real Valkyrie, Wicky - ye'll be in clover!!

30 minute stagger?

[dandywarhol]

Looks like a fine piece of track for speed - testing next to it ..............earplugs may be essential.........

[Stonie]

Hmm, the online navigator calculates exactly 3.14 km from door to door. it is a little bit far to walk, isn't it? may you can walk one way and get home with a cap (if there exist caps)?
hehe, or you do it like me, i don't drink alk

but i'am quite sure, it is the nearest campingsite to ruppertshofen.

Looks like it will more likely encourage time trials? "Standing 2 miles" anybody?
