erm i saw your tent at the national ---------loads of snow ---===Flat tent-----sorry buddy ---think you need to purchase a Geodesic tent (one wiv loads of cross over pole thingies that will stand up on its own).

I did the Elephant in 2004 great fun but Fooking cold, so buy good gear including a -25 sleeping bag plus liner plus camp bed to keep you off the floor (air beds and mats wick the cold at those kind of temperatures).

Dont expect to get much sleep either cos the Germans have bike revving competitions right thru the night ---all we did was stay up all night and drink and drink and---------drink

I would come but i am going to the stella next year and also Austria again so miss piggy bank says no.--------

You might be on your own if you do....have a look at my Thread in 'Chatter'.



I`m likely to be in a convoy of UK Urals...see you at the SmellyFant

[Robster]

Yup, I'll be going along, though I'm mildly disappointed it's not somewhere more "extreme". I can see it being very cold and damp (like last time I was there) rather than several feet of snow.

Plus I've already got a Camping am Nurburgring sticker from my circuitous route home from the Stella.

That said however, I remember how cold it was in mid July! Cold enough to make my feet steam! <shudder>

Depends which Elefant Rally you go to.


The soft one at the `Ring or the hard one (ooo-err missus) on the German/Czech border .

[Sohoeasy]

I'm probably in,I'm thinking of doing it on my new XR125 for a laugh. (well Foz did the Stella on his MZ FFS !) It's just a question of gettin' a roll going.

[Robster]

Bacon Roll?
