Santa Pod/'Ring and Munich

Post Wed Jul 16, 2008 12:58 pm

Alrighty folks?

Myself and BadDave will be heading down to the Ultimate BMW show on 19th Sept, and staying to the 21st.

Then we're gonna catch a ferry, and head to the 'Ring for a good old blast, before having a 3 day drink in Munich during the beer festival.

We're wondering if any other deviants would like to join us?

come on, it'd look amazing pulling into the 'ring carpark!

I finally got my toy car in the Garage yesterday, Neil - obviously it moved out a few minutes later to fit something else in, but, god forbid, should I finally get it fettled by September (ha ha), I may well join you.

We are intending to be over there for about 2 weeks tho.
We're doing several other countries while we're there.
We've planned on heading through France to the ring then onto Munich for a few days, then down to my old place in Austria, then Switzerland,Lichtenstein,Chamonix,Courmayer, then down through southern france via Briancon/Embrum to Gap and follow the Route Napoleon to Nice/Cannes/Monaco

Little blast up/down the Col de Torini, before heading along the south coast then onto Andorra via Millau(to see the viaduct accros the Tarn valley).Then up the Pyrennes mountain roads to San Sebastian, before heading back to Calais via Le Mans

That's our original and intended route, however this may change, depending upon which nice wee back roads we find

I would but i'm VERY short on leave at work so we're doing a friday to monday stint (1.5 days leave needed). Also, that weekend is the only one that all who are going can agree on

Give this to your boss for me...

As dave says, we're having a rather extended shenanigan...

People are welcome to join and leave whenever suits them

If you did the pod /ring and Munich, then you should only be down about £350 per person..
