Just have seen that we are already 6 rigs/ RSVPs, so we can get a group spot in the camp again. Will take care of that when time of the expo comes nearer.

Just an information for those who want to book tickets for OTTO expo. The website is down. Tickets can be booked via email info@otto-messe.de at the moment only.

Slowly but surely, members are booking their tickets. Please remember to send me your booking IDs so I can arrange the group spot. Thank you!

This is an overlanding expo in Germany, about 350 kms/ 200 miles north of Munich where the Ocotber fest takes place.

We meet at the campground of the expo with members since a couple of years. More infos here: Offroad- & Touristik-Tage Ohrdruf, Germany, 9th - 11th October 2026

Join us if you like.

Well, if I can swing by in a rental we'll see. We've been thinking about heading back to Europe and the to the best October Fest celebration in Garmisch, (not my first rodeo there). Need to update my International Driver's License too!

 

[El-Dracho]

As of now, I know of ten people who want to come to OTTO. Some of you have not RSVP'd in the RP yet. Please remember that this makes organization easier. Thank you. So far, I have received the booking numbers from two. Thank you for that. It is still a bit of time to the expo but already August, so please remember to send me your booking numbers so I can take care of our group spot in time that we can camp together again. Thanks a lot.

 

[El-Dracho]

Okay, guys, we already have 5 bookings, so we only need one more to book a group spot… so gear up!

Looking forward to see you there.

 

[El-Dracho]

So, good news. We have 6 spots together right now, which means I can book a group spot.

I will leave this open until the end of August in case any other members want to sign up, and I will book the group spot for us in the first week of September.

 

[El-Dracho]

So, it’s the end of August and this is the current status.

There are still two RSVP in the OTTO Rally Point for which I have not received any confirmation of ticket bookings. This applies to @XC70_OVERLANDER and @Jeep Virus . Are you coming? Please let me know if you’re coming as I will book the group ticket soon. If not, please withdraw from the Rally Point so we can keep track.

Then I know from @Valentin Schneider and @rhihealey that you are going to attend. Please send me your ticket numbers as soon as possible, as discussed, and sign up on the Rally Point. Then I heard rumors that @NotGumby would like to attend. If that's the case and you want to be in the OB Camp, please sign up in the RP and send me your tricket number as well. Thanks.

Is anyone else interested in setting up a camp at the OB Camp during the OTTO expo? If so, please let me know, I will book the group spot this week.

Looking forward to see you there,
Bjoern
