homeward trip camping

Hi all i know i have seen it somewhere but are we after the rally has ended looking to camp on the way home somewhere as a group? or is everyone going seperate ways?

Hi Rob - Last year, as organisers, we made it public we were going to stop for a 'quiet' (!) 2 nights R&R on the Moselle. We asked if anyone wanted to join us. We ended up with 90% of the rally entourage staying with us!!!

To make things easier, we then made 'corporate' arrangements and blocked booked. We will probably do the same again in 2011 if the demand is there. Of course, this is outside of the rally arrangements.

We'll start the Q process very soon and be able to provide a rough idea re the extra cost involved for the Moselle camping.

Hope this helps.

Rob,

Some of us only stayed one night at the campsite (between uncaring partying campers right next to our tent - some kind of rally I think... & the all night trains crossing a sound box of a bridge... t'was a bit noisy!)

We drove on up to Maastricht in Holland and stayed the night there. Not the most picturesque of locales but it left only about 100 miles to do on the last day's run to the ferry.

Worth remembering that by that time you'll have done a good chunk of 2500 miles... a short run on the lasst day might be useful.

Count us in for the Moselle Keith - great couple of days R&R.

Also the beer and food is good there. And only a short stumble home.

T'was certainly a good site. Once you had drunk enough of the local brew, you didn't even notice the trains

Top notch cake shop in the village as well.

Surprised you remember

well thats sorted a couple of nights R&R

Watch this space - well not continually. I'm just back from Kazakhstan so not yet into 'rally mode' Ha.

We'll start sorting the Moselle in the next couple of weeks and then ask all the rally entrants if they want to be inc in the R&R or be independent for the home run.

No Richie, you just went the long way round

Richie, you just went the long way round

Got to agree with Nick on this. Your walk was not a short stumble.

So, do you have any recollection of the long stumble home?

Can't comment on the food. When we got into there, we found that 'others' had beaten us and eat all the steaks !!
So advice to Team 2011-- get to the restaurant before the AA and the Organisers

Trust me Tony; had you been ahead of us you would have enjoyed the food!

Of course, as the Moselle R&R wasn't part of the rally, our usual caring, sharing, encouraging and supporting philosophy to the entrants' welfare went out of the window! It was every man for himself by that time Ha.

I can well recommend the Camp site a welcome rest after the rally,and a good place if you like wine.
