HOME SAFE...
I left Main4ce at 11ish.
Crossed the border to Denmark at 15:30 (3.30 PM).
Arrived at Hirsthals (north tip of Denmark) at 20:30 (8.30 PM).
- changed my ferry ticket. The boat left at 22:15.
Arrived Larvik (Norway) at 02.15.
- and was finally home 03.30 - had a shower, and was in bed by 04.00.
What a great road trip - or should I say race?
Trough Germany on the Autobahn doing 140-160 km/h (87-99 mph)
In Denmark I did around 120-140 km/h (75-87 mph) - heavy rain parts of the way.
Norway - 120 (75 mph) all the way home...
I HAD A GREAT WEEKEND SCOTT.
Good BBQ - good beer - good people

Re: First Great German Dambuster Mini con
Good to hear you got home safely m8!
Wow..Thats a hard drive you did..I was thinking around lunch time today, Andreas will be getting on the ferry around now, but you where already home . I bet it was great to sleep in a bed, let alone your own after 3 nights in a tent . We where lucky with the weather apart from the day you left, it rained real heavy all over the northern Europe and I was sure you must have got caught up in it!
Again, it was a get mini-mini Con, and great to get to know you a little better!

Thanks for posting Main4ce!!
Interesting to see it today. It is not as large as I though it was, but still a lot of water there.

Re: First Great German Dambuster Mini con
Thanks 4 all the comments guys..
We will have to do another mini con in the near future (next summer, in the US, Reddog's house, all just answerable questions?), making the effort to save up and finally meet!
here to more of this!

Not sure I can do it next year, but the year after - 2011, is possible.
