    This has all been posted before but now things are being finalised the
    plan is roughly as follows:

    Wednesday23rd Jan sail Harwich to Hoek of Holland on the overnight
    ferry

    Thursday 24th Jan ride to Wurzburg (Germany)

    Friday 25th Jan ride to Thurmansbang

    Saturday 26th Jan doing the rally thing...

    Sunday 27th Jan ride back to Wurzburg

    Monday 28th Jan ride to Hoek of Holland and then get the overnight
    ferry home.

    The ferry costs are £112 return for bike and rider with a cabin, the
    hotel in Wurzburg will probably be around £50 each night but that'll
    be reduced if sharing a room. You'll be looking at around 1500 miles
    total once we're off the ferry and that allows for a certain amount of
    detours due to fuckwitted map reading.

    So far we've got Burnt, Platy, Sweller, Lady Nina and myself booked on
    the ferry and others muttering about going.

    Level 3 and above on this one so cunts, lurkers and newbies can ****
    off.

    Ooh, I'd love this, especially as it means playing away during my
    birthday.

    But, I appear to be in Spain (again) for the week, so..

    I'm thinking of taking Mrs WUN to somewhere really nice for a day or two
    while the rally's on. Somewhere posh. With heating. And hot baths. And a
    really good restaurant.

    Just so I can sit and (over the second or third glass of something
    special from the wine list) think "Fucking idiots".

    From the time we get in the bar on the Wednesday night until we dock
    at Harwich on our return? You know I'll have a number you won't
    recognise but if you still don't answer then it's multiple text time.

    Well, it'll help pass the time and take your mind off how fucking cold
    it is, so you fill your boots old son.

    I'm (provisionally) on-call that week.
    It's my birthday that week.
    I might be stupid, but I'm not a fucking moron.

    The list of reasons not to go is endless.

    Lets face it, you could sit in a bath of ice, washing your hair with
    chilli sauce, scrubbing your skin with sandpaper while sucking on a
    lozenge of polonium, and still think "fucking idiots".

    I think it's great Andy's managed to sucker so many people into it
    though. The Lord loves a tryer!

    heh. Spesh :)
    Hang on a minute though; I mean, it's not like you didn't know what
    Andy was like before marrying him. It's not like he's suddenly gone
    odd the last couple of months or something.[/QUOTE]

    Quite!
    It's not as if he has dragged her by the hair 300ft down into an icy cold
    darkness yet either.

    Are you planning on going on a 2 wheeled K or is a sidecar beckoning too?

    I'm up for it if I can find suitable wheels. Currently outfits on eBay are
    fetching silly money, driven no doubt by your Spouse's plans!!

    If I go solo I'm sure the Boxer would suffice though, with the addition of
    crashbars.
