Duderstadt 2014

[jmachling]

So, firstly, anyone know what is actually going on this year for sure? I hear rumblings that our Dutch friends might be organising something, but details are thin the ground so far

Secondly, who's up for it?

General plan is: drive to the middle of Germany, put your tent up, meet up with great MR2 owners/enthusiasts from all over Europe, drink beer, eat BBQ, drive round some beautiful scenery, drive home.

It's a brilliant event that you won't appreciate unless you've been. Much more interactive than most UK shows/meets. It's the 5th year for some of us.

1. John & Yana

I hear rumours and will have a word with Benny / Mario etc for some more details.

I will be up for it too, though admit I am not sure if funds will permit the 2 to go, so will go in the 4.

I know Scott is up for it too. I think he wants to test the beast on the Autobahn again.

I hear the beer wench may make an appearance if she can get a passenger seat (and sufficient native sausage of course).

When I asked ze germans I was told 'The Dutch are official' so that Facebook group is the proper place for arrangements.

I'm in Bought an MR2 especially! Wenchy can come with me if she likes as I'll have a spare passenger seat, but MK3s aren't renowned for their luggage capacity

If I go in the 4 then plenty of room for a passenger and luggage.

As for native sausage, I have found a nice place in London that does Kaiserkreiner, right by the train station!!

Have several packets in my freezer

Ooo, I'm going to London on Thursday!

[jmachling]

I live in London. Where?!

Boom!


Me and the fraggle are planning on gunning over......

Thinking of doing Hull - Zeebruge and Bruge for a few nights on the way back.

Sorry but pulling out.

Tough times on our world at the mo.

It may be hard to believe if you don't live here, but there is more than one shop. I have to admit to not having looked very hard, but I have yet to see a cheesy native sausage in a shop in Tooting.

I have, however, seen far too many as part of my work in hospitals, but that's another story...

Borough Market right by London Bridge train station.

I'm sorry, can't make it this year. We have a special trip to Japan planned instead and I had to change the dates for Indy care, so our trip now overlaps when Duderstadt is on.

I'm a bit gutted, but I don't think we'll be going to Japan every year so a planned return to Dudetown is likely in following years!

I hope Erik and Mario can source an alternate camping location as there were problems last year with the usual place that makes it untenable to return.

Had a Whatsapp conversation with Mario yesterday and he confirmed a new area for camping and beer has been found. As soon as I get the info I will post up here.

Need to book my ferry!

What crossing you on John? Or are you and Yana making it a longer break away? I was thinking early early Friday morning and coming back Monday afternoon.
