Didn't know Europe did expo's like this.

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

Almost? You mean just!!! a 6 hours drive, hahaha. Same here, but it absolutely worth it.

Would love to go, but it's a few weeks before my planned trip.

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

So? Just grab a rucksack, a little tent and such and fly over.
It wil lbe great.

Cheers Marco

Anyone else thinking of going? Is it just Mike, Robert, Christian and myself thinking of going. Do you three have plan to camp together or just meet somewhere in the show? I look forward to meeting more overland bound members, as I have only meet one already.
Cheers Marco

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

We are going from Tuesday evening to Sunday, and will make a camp. Point is, it will be crowded, so I dont know how long I can hold the spot big enough to let others camp.
But we will try to keep enough space so we can spend the evenings and parts of the day together at our place for BBQ and good talks.

 

[vanlife4x4]

Sounds good Robert. Be aware of camp area will not open earlier than wednesday afternoon, but I guess you know.
Hope to meet some OB members there.

Officially you are right, but believe me, there are some who arrive on the Saturday and Sunday already. So, we will manage Tuesday late in the evening. Think we will arrive around midnight. It is a long way with a trailer behind it.
And maybe, just maybe I will have a new trailer by then. Who knows.

How from hamburg

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

What do you mean? From Hamburg?

 

[blackntan]

What do you mean? From Hamburg?

Ive got mates in hamburg just looked to far , Might tag along with the lads from west cost 4x4 though ,

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

Ah ok, well yes, it is far from Hamburg.
If you are flying over, it is best to fly to Frankfurt, that is way closer. Just grab a little tent, sleeping bag and such and you are fine.
We have cooking stuff with us and there are two supermarkets there. All will be fine.
And there is at least one food stand at the campsite and several at the expo itself.
