07:30ish - Woke-up to a wet tent. It had rained last night and the ground and tent was moisten. |
|
| 09:30ish - Left the camp and headed for Nürburgring race track. |
|
10:46 - Reached Nürburgring grand prix track. Could not find the entrance to the old track (the new one has 4 sets of car parks) After enquiring at the main visitors attractions (a kind of museum), we were giving a route to the entrance of the old track, called Nordschleife which is the North race ring. Unfortunately they only let you drive your own cars after 17:15 |
|
| 11:29 - Left Nürburgring for Gorßen Feldberg, NE side of Frankfurt, which is part of the Taunus mountain range. |
|
| 13:20 - Petrol stop, 20.74 Litres bought. |
|
| 13:59 - We have just reached Lorch and it has started to rain! (a shame after the hot weather we got yesterday. |
|
| 16:20 - *Landmark Event* Passed the first car accident, three vehicles in a rear collision crash. Looks like no ones hurt. |
|
17:15 - We pulled into a Campsite at Taunus Camp in Eppstein, which is located north east of central Frankfurt and South from Gorßen Feldberg. Unlike the Winngingen camp, this one is based on hillside farm and appears to be quite spares. It has a single shower and two toilets per genger. After seeing this, I will add a page to rate the sites we visit.
We had to put up the tent in the light rain, which got worst. In the end the tent was soaked and Brain and I ended up sitting in the car!
|
| 20:00 - The rain stopped! Well only for ten minutes. Fell a sleep in the car. |
