Abenteuer & Allrad Show, Germany 30 May-02 June 2013
Looking ahead to the 4x4 shows next year …

Is anyone planning on going to the Abenteuer & Allrad (Adventure Wheel) Show, Germany 30 May-02 June 2013? Billed as the biggest off-road show in Europe, it’s a claim that can’t be denied … it’s BIG!!! See www.abenteuer-allrad.de The English version can be found by clicking the ‘Besucher’ tab in the menu, then ‘For Foreign Visitors’.

I ask because I intend attending myself. However, there is a problem. This is also the weekend of the HUBB UK event at Donington, Leicestershire ( www.horizonsunlimited.com/events/hubbuk ) where I have a promotional pitch for my ADVENTURE OVERLAND show at Stratford Racecourse, Warwickshire in September– www.adventureoverlandshow.com. Decisions decisions!

This being the case, I intend spending Thursday at HUBB UK, then, leaving the stand in the capable hands of friends, I will fly out from East Midlands airport (which is virtually next door) on Fri 31 May to Frankfurt, collect a hire car, then on to the show. I shall return Mon 03 June to collect my marquee from HUBB UK. Back in June this year I flew over and hired a car, it worked out fine. I only had hand luggage which contained a lightweight tent, sleeping bag, change of clothes and toiletries!

So ... does anybody fancy joining me? We can share the cost of the hire car/fuel.

The itinerary:-

The return flights cost £96 incl. taxes.

Depart East Midlands 06:35 Fri 31 May 2013 (no stops) – 1hr 45m
Arrive Frankfurt 09:20 31 May 2013 (no stops)

Depart Frankfurt 15:20 Mon 03 June 2013 (no stops) – 1hr 40m
Arrive East Midlands 16:00 Mon 03 June 2013 (no stops)

Hire car costing between £96 - £131 depending on size (a Compact just for me, Midsize for 4 persons)
Fuel Frankfurt Airport – Bad Kissingen, 200 miles return – approx. £50
3 nights camping at Abenteuer & Allrad Show @ 10 euros per car per night x 3 nights = 30 euros/£25
3 days admission to Abenteuer & Allrad Show – 20 euros/£17

In a nutshell …

131.00 hire car
50.00 fuel
25.00 camping

= £206 divided between 2, 3 or 4 persons

+

£96.00 return flight per person
£17.00 3-day admission per person

+
vast quantities of beer … naturally!!! Wink

Mega!!! Loads on the forum here turned up, I'll let them tell you as I may just be a little biased. Whistle

Put it this way, it outgrew the venue before the first show was even over, so ever since I've been trying to find a new home for it. I succeeded - Stratford Racecourse. You’ll be impressed mate. Here’s not the place to talk shop, so I’ll email you ASAP with the details.

Hello Tom,

I am considering going, I actually bumped into one of the organisers in Namibia this August!!

Not sure whether to drive though.

Killer, it was bloody brilliant. Very diverse and lots of interesting people there.

Have a think about it Steve and let me know. Probably book the flights in 2 weeks time ... about 14th Dec.

Killer90 - can't send you an email until I've been on site again for another measure up of the showground area. Booked for Monday, so will probably email Tuesday or latest Wednesday. Patience!
