An additional grill might make more sense then, someone brings something?
I don't have a bigger portable one to bring

I guess that Rick @NotGumby brings his foldable grill as well and that grill has already proven itself well at OB meetups - hehe. Then we would have three, that´s fine.

Should I bring some of the magic charcoal with fireworks effect again like last time? Just kidding...

Copy that! I’ll have the grill/fire pit with me and some wood & charcoal.

I’ll be heading up from Frankfurt in the late morning/early afternoon if anyone wants to convoy or needs a tow ;-). Pretty flexible on departure.

The magic charcoal would be Awesome! Please bring some!

Okay. I’ll let you know when I’m about ready to roll. Do the same. Maybe we’ll sync up.

Important information for all those who can only leave late: After 10PM only security service will be there at the gate.They do not do the check-in. Those who arrive later can spend the night in the day visitor parking lot and check-in the next morning.

We will probably go tomorrow already. On the way I will listen on CB channel 16FM and 145.500 MHz VHF. Get in touch if you are already on the road then.

I wish you all a good journey and look forward to seeing you at the expo!

Many thanks to all. Once again, it was a really relaxed and interesting few days. Be it Constantin's new car, Björn's travel plans, travel reports from Rick and Claus or Benni and family. We could welcome new OB members (Moritz, Steffen and family) as well as taste some awesome self-brewed beer of Bengt. The impressions of the other vehicles were also really impressive.

And of course (thanks to Benni's efforts) we could present the new OB Europe banner. Super proud of such a high quality product.

Members from Germany, Sweden, Netherlands and Belgium attended this year meet up. 16 rigs and 20 people. Well done everyone.

It was really a great meetup! We had a lot of fun together. It was awesome to meet all of you and it was especially nice that we were able to welcome new OB members. See you next time!
