Interesting when you leave a deposit in a German shitbowl, there's a shelf there so you can analyse it - what's all that about then??????? unsure.gif

It's the same all over mainland Europe. Think it's an old religious thing - sort of like a mini Harvest Festival, where you take a moment to ponder on life's goodness (or maybe its "passing"?) rolleyes.gif Probably goes back to the old Roman consultation of entrails (Pity help you if you find any after a hard night on the Weissbier , mind you!!)

the shelf is something to do with pork and worms according to whoever it was that i asked.....

no limit to numbers as yet, and everyone is welcome to come over for however long they wish.

the Ruppertshofen we want is below
QUOTE
Hauptstraße 16
D-56357 Ruppertshofen
Germany

we did manage to get the wrong one with the GPS when we left Leichenstein which resulted in a longer day than we were expecting
lesson learned : always check the map to ensure the GPS has picked up the correct destination.

if anyone knows of a campsite in the area (or a website with a list of german campsites etc) then i'd be grateful, my investigation is handicapped by babelfish translations.

the other alternative is to find somewhere that has both B&B and camping facilities.

Sounds like it's time to take up kind offers of help, e.g. from Stonie, Erdferkel and TDM-rheinlaender?

Their meeting site in Schwaben has both facilities, but is a bit further to go.

lol Pict, are you bored again?
dont panic mate, i'll have a chat with Andre this week and point out our dilema.
if I cant find a campsite close by and the B&B folks cant help us then i'll look at alternative locations that offer both camping and B&B.
if we need to change location then we can re-evaluate and see what people want to do re: dates,locations&other clubs

Hmm, the online navigator calculates exactly 3.14 km from door to door. it is a little bit far to walk, isn't it? may you can walk one way and get home with a cap (if there exist caps)?
hehe, or you do it like me, i don't drink alk

but i'am quite sure, it is the nearest campingsite to ruppertshofen.
