Re: The 1st International BMW K1200LT Treffen of Great Britain 2009
Just got back from The Castle. The landlady puts on a courtesy minibus for those staying there. So don't worry about it being a mile away from the rest of us. Bikes in her garage if you wish.

Now, if each of us finds ONE more person each, by keeping a flyer on us at all times to put onto a K1200lt whenever we see one - it will be massive!

Just got off the phone with the Castle. Was surprised she had two single rooms left for 10-11 July. Spoken to Chris Llanerch So, booked over there. One for me, one for a new entrant: Frank Pustlauk from Cologne. This courtesy bus shure comes in handy after the Carvery and BBQ! I'll be the Amsterdam lager lout :-) Looking forward to some tongue twister local slang.

Re: The 1st International BMW K1200LT Treffen of Great Britain 2009
Yep, just been to the Castle, they have you guys booked in.
Just ONE room left now at the Castle before they are full as well. I will be phoning round the area to see if there is anywhere else for people to stay. (btw if you have larger at the Castle, you are missing some excellent Ales!)

What are some Welsh words/phrases I should learn?
Something like: "Can I have one of your prime ale of the house?"

Re: The 1st International BMW K1200LT Treffen of Great Britain 2009
Hello,
I was on the Help for Heroes ride from Bovvington to Brighton last Saturday, had only just arrived and our group were deep in conversation bemoaning our journey when a very enthusiastic ' foreign accented chap' chap came along and started talking about a LT rally in Wales. My LT was the only one I'd seen all day? I mentioned this on the CW Riderclubbers email loop and someone said, 'that was Andonni' (? spellling) but also gave a limk to this site. So now I'm here ! Will do my very best to attend for part of the w/e, having a 5 month old baby does curtail activities, if only the top boxes were bigger..... Cheers for now, Steve |

Another UK member.. Welcome Steve,
you’ll find this site very useful as we all do, all you have to do is ask, that is if you can’t find the answer, Will be great if you can make it to the Treffen, if only for the ride out.. NB: The top box is bigger than you might think!! |

Re: The 1st International BMW K1200LT Treffen of Great Britain 2009
Vic
Stick Swindon into your route as a waypoint - you will see it is a far better route from Dover. I did this last week and it took just 4 hours. Swindon to Gloucester is very quick - not motorway, but just as fast duel carrageway. M42 has nasty variable speed cameras. MAP

Welcome, Steve and thanks for PM. Surprised, I did not think you took any notice! It would be great if you could join us for a wonderful week end. Thanks for the "enthusiastic"bit, but a foreign accent?....
Vic, please PM-me with times as we could ride together on Friday I was @our local meet place today when I met a nice guy with same colour LT. Please join us as well ! Regards, Andoni
