All subject to final tweaking

Itinerary
Day 1 2nd July

Those further North to drive down to M1 Leicester Forest East Services (Southbound )for an 08:00hrs meet
From there down to Toddington Services for an 09:30 meet.
Travel to Ashford Eurotunnel eta 11:30

Book your Tunnel Crossing for the Midday to 13:59hrs slot so we all travel together. My car is very low to the ground with no issues but it is fairly tight width ways so take your time driving on the train to final parking spot.

Once on the other side, we will drive approx. 1 mile on the A16 to the Calais BP Station located on the D119. Quick snack and fuel and we carry on to our 1st nights Hotel in Germany.

Route from Calais to Affalterbach is approx 470miles (750km) and should take no more than 7hrs with a 1 hour pit stop. ETA Hotel 21:30hrs



Day 2 3rd July

Breakfast 08:00-10:00hrs

AMG Factory 11:30-14:00hrs

14:00hrs set off for Lindau (Lake Constance) ETA 16:30hrs
Meet at Aral Service Station (102ron fuel ) off jnc 2 A96


Fuel and drinks and then off we go on the Alpine Route
Driving the German Alpine Road / Deutsche Alpenstrasse

2nd night Hotel is approx. 2hrs drive so should arrive around 19:00hrs
Home | Hotel Sonne Füssen im Allgäu near Neuschwanstein

Day 3 4th July

09:00hrs Breakfast
10:00hrs Resume Alpine Route which is another 220miles non Autobahn
15:00hrs Arrive Berchtesgaden

If all are in agreement, sightseeing followed by 3rd night in Hotel

All need to book your own Eurotunnel tickets (£75 each way)
http://tickets.eurotunnel.com/booking/fare.asp

Once Ash has all the confirmed personnel, we can book the Hotel in Affalterbach (1st night) and also the Hotel Sonne Füssen in Allgäu (2nd night)

Day 4 5th July

Travel own route back as I will be heading up to Northern Germany

Again, this is a provisional itinerary and needs to be agreed upon. Any feedback, ideas, changes please feel free to pm Ash, Alx or myself

Prost

 

[ChrisA]

I've booked my Tunnel crossing and Hotel in the Alps for the 3rd & 4th July

 

[martyp87]

Are spaces still free for this or have I missed the boat?

Sounds like a nice little run and I'd love to spend a bit of time in Germany.
