I got my plane ticket,
plan is to arrive on Thursday and stay camping (Land Rover 109" or 110, I don't know yet) until Sunday.
I'll bring - I think - also a few prints of my cartoons which will be put on display at the OFFROAD magazine booth.

See you there!

Hi Gren,
sure I'll do, framed or not?
:)

I'll see you at the booth or at the campground!
VW van?
Did you see the Rallye T3 I did last week?
Very cool and capable machine, not a camper but still a van...race van :smiley_drive:
The owner/builder will also be at the Allrad (I don't know about the T3), and he's a VW nuts.

Hey Michele,

Flying over from Tasmania picking up my Land Rover in Scotland and then driving over and camping.

Back at home.

The campground hasn't been flooded by the river yet. But sometimes you better use a canoe. :snorkel:

It's like back teeth under water without loosing the constitution. Or something like this.

First look outside the trailer tent this morning:

Random pics from the show

Hi chaps,
well I'm home in wales to bright sunshine and warm temps who would have believed it, we had spent the previous 10 days being chased though France and Germany by horrendous rain that was lasting 24hrs at a stretch but luckily when we took the time to go sight seeing in Metz & Berchesgarten the sun shone even though the day we decided to go up to see the Eagles nest it was closed due to snow.!
we got up to see it the following day & it was well worth the 1040 mile trip, unfortunately the next day it was back to rain for the journey up to B.K.

Sorry we did not get to meet some of the folks from the forum but we managed to link up with friends from previous years, here's some random pics from the show.

A bit late with this post, but we were there in a 1994 Iveco displaying the Ozi flag.
Conditions did get pretty sticky.

No one was exempt. The Germans sure do like their BIG rigs.

Allrad Solar For John

Panels in various sizes
Germany 2013 294.jpg

Prototype camper shell by a Boat builder incorporating a solar panel in the pop roof, the panel is structural and will support someone standing on it, no details of the panels sadly.

The sockets on the side allow legs or anything else to be attached/removed and leaves a smooth side

Stainless steel socket

It's things like this that make the 2000 mile trip worth it
