Run2Europe2013 Day3

-
No challenges today just a driving tour from Colmar, France to Naurath,Germany.
The route handed over to the teams to sort (day off for the Run2 Team).
During breakfast the maps came out and between Seb and Jaques the route was devised.

First stop on route was for brunch at Munster where Seb had to  translate order for most of us....



 We collected brunch then drove up into the mountains looking for a nice place to stop to eat.
 Convoy forms up again

Taking in the views


After about 40mins we found the spot next to a lake.


Boats not for hire (even on a Bank holiday weekend...French logic!)
During our stop we were entained by the Stu and Danny show (video to follow soon), we then got ready to move again.

Everywhere closed for business


It was then head north for the nights hotel....

Fuel Stop
Another check of the map



On our way through to Luxembourg for another country to tick

Luxembourg best place to fill your car up! Cheapest fuel station in Europe (also good for fags).
We leave Lux (giant service station of Europe) and we're back in Germany and on our favourite kind of road....The (unrestricted) Autobahn! Straight away the Bathurst and yellow 370Z take off (370Z read 160mph) but the real star was the 320 dieasel BMW with 4 occupants hit 150mph!!! There was wheel bearing noise from it shortly after.
Couldn't go too mad for long as the heavens opened up.

By this time however we were not far from the hotel.....and if Carlberg did hotels and brewed Zils beer....!
Brauhaus Zils Hotel and Brewery

The Brauhaus Zils hotel also had its own brewery which is the bestest bestest hotel I have ever stopped in. The food was great and the beer even better. Our host Albert was excellent and couldn't do enough for us, German hospitality!

As you can imagine it got a little messy that night but amazingly no one suffered hangovers in the morning. A few pictures below of the night.

Day 2

Day 2 begins with breakfast at the Exmouth View Hotel, envelopes are handed out and as they are opened and the shopping lists are mulled over I just remembered what I put in them. FACE PAINTING!!! was the subject for breakfast, some filled with dread others strangely excited by the idea of turning up as Spider man or a Hamster!?. All teams set off at approx 9.30am heading for Kingswear, Devon. The first clue took them to the Dartmouth lower ferry, as we took the higher we got to Dartmouth just in time to catch all teams in 2 waves travelling across the lower ferry. Seb as per usual could be heard on the other side of the river Dart then as he disembarked all the way through Dartmouth. Destination 3 day 2 was Cremyll, Cornwall. This destination split the teams up when it came to routes. Balls of Fury got there via the Torpoint ferry and as per usual were in "Stealth Mode" again (we were around the corner visiting relatives whilst they sneaked past), the other teams either cr

Ok then folks, it all started at approx 8.30am on the 5thJune 2010. We pulled into Portland Bill car park already to find 2 members of the Nissansportz club, team Sleazy Jet (Seb and Sarah 350Z) and team Honey Monster (Paul and Sarah in a bright yellow 370Z). Also waiting for us to arrive (yes we were slightly late) was team Knappmobeel (father and son team Ian and Simon Knapp in their Audi A4), plus Bio Hazard (Nigel and Jayne in a Bio diesel VW Passat). Next team to arrive in a Cosworth blue Smart Bluewave Coupe (with Viper stripes) was team Killerviral ("Purveyors of Fine Free Games"), Chris Kempt and his faithful sidekick Paul Fryer. Killerviral the Britballrun winners 2007 and runners up by 1 point in 2008. Last to arrive team Balls of Fury, Karl and the last Sarah (there was 3 Sarah's and no it was not in the rules you had to bring one) in their Peugeot 206. Once registered they were off a 1 minute intervals. After the teams had read through their shopping lists the
