Abenteuer & Allrad (Adventure Wheel) Show, Germany 30 May-02 June 2013

Is anyone planning on going to the Abenteuer & Allrad (Adventure Wheel) Show, Germany 30 May-02 June 2013? Billed as the biggest off-road show in Europe, it’s a claim that can’t be denied … it’s BIG!!! See www.abenteuer-allrad.de The English version can be found by clicking the ‘Besucher’ tab in the menu, then ‘For Foreign Visitors’.

I ask because I intend attending myself. However, there is a problem. This is also the weekend of the HUBB UK event at Donington, Leicestershire ( www.horizonsunlimited.com/events/hubbuk ) where I have a promotional pitch for my ADVENTURE OVERLAND show at Stratford Racecourse, Warwickshire in September– www.adventureoverlandshow.com. Decisions decisions!

I intend spending Thursday at Donington, then, leaving the stand in the capable hands of friends, I will fly out from East Midlands airport on Fri 31 May to Frankfurt, collect a hire car, then on to the show. I shall return Mon 03 June to collect my marquee from HUBB UK. Back in June this year I flew over and hired a car, it worked out fine. I only had hand luggage which contained a lightweight tent, sleeping bag, change of clothes and toiletries!

So ... does anybody fancy joining me? We can share the cost of the hire car/fuel.

The itinerary:-

The return flights cost £96 incl. taxes.

Hi Tom,

Sorry I missed the show, working over that weekend to get some "overland tokens".

I'll be at the Allrad show from the Wednesday, should be able to get parked close to the Aldi supermarket again so not to far to carry the beers. Look farward to seeing you there.

I Know Chas is strugling to get there so he maybe interested in sharing, I'll give him a shout.

Regards, John. (Twende)

Hi John, you found us!!! Shame that, as you've probably heard the show was really good. Never mind, there's always next year.
See you over in Germany then, I'll help relieve you of a beer or three!
