Germany 2012 - 40th Zed Anniversary!!!!

[Steve Cooke]

Myself and Tommy (Sweptail) are booked on the 0920 on the Thursday, we wanted to get there a bit earlier on the Friday so we're going to do a bit of sight seeing and the bulk of the miles on the Thursday, camp up somewhere and have a shorter run in on the Friday or that's the plan anyway.

The lads from the south west are booked on the 1.30 pm train Thursday . We are 4 strong looking to do approx 200miles before booking a hotel .
Anyone want to meet up somewhere around the German border?

[bunnysZ]

about 7 of us are staying in holland overnight close to german border on thurs night and riding the rest of the way fri morning,
TLC has the details if you want to meet there

John Hunt
Mark Stratton
Steve Bowlder

and Taffus................Any more to add?............might be a good idea to exchange some mobile numbers within the group just in case anyone gets lost,stuck in a ditch,delayed or suffers mechanical breakdown or worse still mental breakdown due to riding in the wet

Steve S don't know where you got this info from but unfortunately I will not be attending Bike knackered, skint and can't get time off work.


I know whats my excuse

[Steve S]

Hello Mark, sorry to hear that you can,t make it,new you were interested in going early on if you could get things together,.......your name must have been mentioned to me somewhere along the line,sorry for the confusion caused.

If there is anyone else on the list that is not going via that train (apologies) or anyone who is traveling but is not listed maybe they could let us know to help with contact numbers just in case of problems along the way

Whats the plan on Sun./Mon. I have the 5 ish train booked on Mon. Are people leaving Mon morning or Sun night?

[tlc]

From past experience people will start to leave after breakfast on sunday.
I've never had trouble with the police but if they see you with luggage and have a reason to stop you they will breathalyse for sure. I think their limits are similar to ours.
Speaking for our group we want to be back in holland by 4.30 at the latest.

taffus and myself were talking about leaving Sunday lunchtime ish having a ride through Germany and stopping overnight somewhere like Maastricht breaking the journey up and being closer for the ferry back at 5 ish monday evening. Think this is stillour plan

[tlc]

Chris - their limits are much lower than ours(0.5mg cf ours at 0.8mg). Indeed, if the police pull you for a driving offence then the limit drops to 0.3mg. The penalties are severe too...
