BMW weekend in Garmisch Partenkirchen

[dave the german]

that was funny - loved the bit where he sat back no handed - I'm definitely going next year - holiday form in, no one on my shift looking to be off so just prey it's as sunny as that!!!

[dave the german]

Well, I've booked to go to Garmisch. doing the organised tour this year to sound it out with a view to going again next year and camping and doing a longer tour. Quite expensive but haven't had a proper holiday for a while and it looks as if the only fixed part of it is the hotels. Maps etc are given and how you get there is your own affair (or so I'm led to believe). Really looking forward to it!!

Spoke to someone from Motorrad activity days and she confirmed the camping was free last year. They have booked 30 of the 90 places they have. Costs for BM organised trip as follows
single rider single room£1299
single rider shared room £899
rider and pillion sharing room £1699

meals are included and they have a vip area with a few glasses of beer thrown in.

Anyone any thoughts?

I certainly don't have a problem with up to 1300 miles in a day but I appreciate others don't like doing that heavy a schedule

16 hours for 620 miles of non peage from Calais > Reims > Frieburg > Garmisch Partenkirchen

More regular was north Wales to Nice, first time on a KLR600 trail bike, in one hit ... that one was harder going Smile

Last Saturday, after fitting a Gel seat to me 'blade and doing a Kington-Knighton-Aber-Wolves (Party! )-Hereford- Kington, 250 mile bash, and, not-with-standing (whaaat?) 6 hours of semi-racing crouch, feeling just a slight stiffness in the shoulders I suggested to a mate that we get up early one morning and do a 500 mile 'Round Wales' trip. Well, huh! BIG DEAL . You make me feel like such a 'lightweight' Steve.

I have friends who wince at doing a 100 miles at a time !!

That's the one Steve. Thought sod it, haven't had a holiday for some time and not much bike time so it fits the bill - now just need the weather!!

I'm sure the weather will be fine there, I'd not like to make the same prediction for us here in the frozen wastelands of the UK, apparently we've upset the jetstream
