Guest tanks Posted May 16, 2013 Share #142 Posted May 16, 2013 Thanks, that was the link I had found, so nothing has changed. I am very much tempted to show up, as it sounds interesting especially the factory tour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share #143 Posted May 16, 2013 Seeing as how it is still 5 months to the event, the "rules" for this year have yet to be published. We have yet to decide on a rendezvous point. Rules for most of the previous meetings will be available if you look for them, but the basic rules are the same every year. Copenhagen: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/forum-member-meetings/210578-copenhagen-final-call.html Palermo: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/forum-member-meetings/197961-palermo-one-challenge-arrangements-rules.html Venice: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/forum-member-meetings/142844-venice-meeting-arrangements-etc.html Malta: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/forum-member-meetings/99883-malta-challenge-17-october-2009-terms.html And others before this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted May 16, 2013 Share #144 Posted May 16, 2013 Tanks, notwithstanding all the rules, attendees are generally pretty unruly most of the time. There are pictures to support the allegation, from most cameras attending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
octo Posted May 18, 2013 Share #145 Posted May 18, 2013 Looking forward to it already! I have reserved flight & car rental; ETA Frankfurt 11/10 at 10:35; ETD 13/10 at 16:40. I am booked at the Mercure. I guess that might make me a bit late for 'apéritif' but in time for lunch. I'm sure somebody will propose a watering place...Unfortunately, contrary to what I expected, I'll be on my own: wife 's flying out that same day.

masjah Posted May 19, 2013 Share #146 Posted May 19, 2013 We're now booked in the Wetzlarer Hof (along with the rest of the riff-raff). We're putting together a 10 day tour of the region, taking our car over the ferry from Hull. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted May 19, 2013 Share #149 Posted May 19, 2013 We have the following week over there too. Really looking forward to it. Same here on both counts. If anyone staying at the Mercure wants the details of my Accor loyalty card, I'll be only to pleased to supply the details and pick up the points <grin>.

StS Posted May 20, 2013 Share #150 Posted May 20, 2013 I'm an extremely loyal person, since I have loyalty cards from all major hotel chains. Since the expedition party in the Landrover should be reaching the continent soon, it could be good timing to mention, that driving on the right side will avoid confusion over here.

bill Posted May 20, 2013 Share #151 Posted May 20, 2013 In a Defender you can drive on whichever side takes your fancy. I remember seeing a sticker on the back of an old Series II once that read "You can go fast, but I can go anywhere..." Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanetomlane Posted May 22, 2013 Share #153 Posted May 22, 2013 Take the proverbial if you want, but we arrived into Amsterdam right on schedule and am happy to report that nothing amiss was found on the Defender during it's service. Unfortunately, I didn't make the flight back for the Shard and Bristol meets but will be raring to go once we get to Wetzler. Safe travels to all. ________________________ Cheers, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomv Posted May 26, 2013 Share #154 Posted May 26, 2013 Is a Defender still allowed in German cities? One does need to have a green label nowadays. No black smoke, no small sooth particles etc. and all that... One can always take a taxi I guess.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanetomlane Posted May 30, 2013 Share #156 Posted May 30, 2013 Driving 17 hours a day in a Defender is stressful and so we decided to leave the Land Rover in a Car Park opposite Utrecht Railway Station and join the family holiday in Florida, from where I write this update. We put 24 kilos worth of one Euro coins in the parking meter thinking it would cover the 17 days we are going to be away, but it only gave us a ticket valid to midnight. Me thinks we could have problems when we return to resume our journey into Germany, but such is life for the long distance adventurer. Looking forward to seeing (hopefully) everyone in Wetzler.
