Run2Europe2016 Dunkirk to Losheim, Germany

-
First task the teams faced involved finding a car dealership and complete a few tasks there,Team Bravo headed to Bruges, Belgium and found a BMW dealership who were willing to play along. Steve from team Bravo found himself in a brand new M3 and revving the bejesus out of it (a similar fate befell a Mercedes in a German dealership.

BMW technicians came out to see the circus
Smart T Shirts (outside BMW Bruges)

The route to the first hotel took the teams through Luxembourg via the capital on through to Germany.


The first Hotel The Hochwalder Wohlfuhlhtel was a welcome place to unwind after the first days travelling, set next to a large lake and a popular place for day trippers....like us...sort of.
Rooms were great and food and beer excellent!!!

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...
