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

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.

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.

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.
