Andechs - First outing of the year

Damn wish I was going, would have made the effort if there were such lovely views to see:

Go and have fun everybody! I hope I can make it next time round but I gotta go snowboarding one more time before the season is over.

I shall be using the bus both ways mate, the last few hundred metres up the side of the Eiger is enough to create a thirst for a mass

Change of plans and now I don't have to work so I'll be along with kaiserf also...

grazzenegger, this is EXACTLY the time you need to be going to Andechs. If you think your life is no longer your own with pregnancy, wait till you have an infant.

I haven't been to Andechs for almost two years now and can't wait!

Go to the garden centre when it's raining.

so the meet up time is 10:15am at Hauptbahnhof, does this mean people are planning to be on the S-Bahn that departs at 10:27 or do we need extra time to wait for stragglers? The next one departs at 10:47.

Plan is to send as many as possible on the 10.27 and then the stragglers go on the later ones.

ok, we are planning to leave directly from Rosenheimerplatz, so will be on the S-Bahn that leaves Hauptbahnhof at 10:27 (if we get up in time )

Well due to the cooperation of the sun...hubby and I will be going too.

However, we will be doing the LONG hike (4 hours) to Andechs to really earn our beer

Probably meet up with the already overly imbibed group around 2 pm.

Which route, Gemini? From Starnbergersee?

Some of us wimps that don't get up early and want to do St Georges party at The Arc later too been talking about arriving a little later, say about 2pm in Andechs, anyone else want to join us überstragglers ?

Presume best train for this would be about 12.47 from HBf although i will pick it up at Ostbahnhof or Rosenheimer.

Now that is a very good idea Gemini, whichever route. Beers taste even better when earnt.

We take the train one stop past Starnbergersee. You would never know there is a trail, as it is essentially unmarked. Not a hard hike, but nice and varied. Starts out through some woods, then you walk over some fields with beatuful views of the lake and mountains, past a horse training area and a few small towns with a BIO farm you can visit and have lunch, then back into the woods and up to Andechs.

Takes about 4 hours walking at a good clip. The only real hills are in the beginning and once you get towards Andechs. By those last steps up, it is only the beer keeping me going!

Mmm...I still didn't understand whether I have to get a personal ticket or someone provides it and gets money back when riding by train.

@Streeme
I'm sure somebody can sort you out at Hbf. before we head out..

I've just added hubby to my reservation and have added the comment "gen is buying a bayernticket and will have it at the train station". We'll buy our ticket in advance so that we can use it for the bus to the train station. If three people want to sign up to be the other people for our BayernTicket, then they can change their comment to read "gen's bayernticket for me too please" or another such witticism. As long as "gen" is the first word, you'll be alphabetically sorted next to my signup, and then everyone can see how many tickets will be necessary.
[/germanness]

As I mentioned earlier I will be buying a gesamtnetz ticket, so if I get a partner one, 4 other people can travel on it. So if you do as Gen said, but of course use Allershausen, then you'll be sorted. A partner ticket cost €17, so divided by 5 thats only €3,40 each.

Aha, good point - we're getting the Bayernticket (25€) because I'm taking the bus up to Andechs instead of walking as I'm on crutches. So maybe bus people sign up with me.

Oh this is quite fun being organized.

I dont believe the bus is covered with a bayern ticket

P

(and I'm not signing up with anyone - if theres a group when I meet at Haupbahnhof I'll join it)

nope, bus is a completely private line so no MVV passes will help you out there. 2.20euros apiece to be a deserter and ride.

From the Regionalbus 951 timetable:


So IsarCards and weekly/monthly Ausbildungkarten are valid on the private buses between Andechs and Herrsching, other MVV tickets are not. Doesn't say anything about Bayern Tickets.

MVV and DB tickets are valid on the 951, but there are just three buses a day. For a timetable, type in '951' here.

That's my understanding, anyway.

Ooh, but there's another bus that also goes right to the Kloster -- MVV 951... checking it out now...

edit: *ahem* "aww, snap"

Why is this event not listed on the home page?

just curious...second class event or what?

ummm... maybe because it's an outing / meetup and not a "public" event that you just show up to? Maybe because... there's a signup sheet? And it's just for TT and associates... Just guessing though, maybe Bob will weigh in.

Oh wait, found it myself:

How to get an event listed on the front page

I'm guessing there's now an 85% probability of a NOFXmike sighting at Andechs that day, now...cleared it with the gf, we enjoyed it last year

I've caught an unseasonly, unpleasant and untimely (not to mention unwelcome) cold and have to pull out. You have a great time, all of you. Cheers.

As Usual, I am working..

So it was a good job that I didnt sign up and then change my mind etc etc!

Have a great day though!

Dont forget your Sun cream and more importantly, dont forget where you live on the way home!

G

I might make a appearance (depends on how wasted I get tonight) Sounds like a good laugh + Beer!

Well, due to illness Me and 'Er are now only possible maybe's. We will, of course, do our best to come along but will play in by ear.

I've just seen that there is an interesting FA Cup Semi Final kicking off around 6pm, so I will not stay too long now ! Plus have lots of things to buy and organise, as am off to Brazil next Friday !

I do hope your gonna pass the organisational batton to someone suitable (and thats not me either!)

Get well soon Winegirl

P

well, if we really do not go then I will probably pop down to the train station anyway to ensure you all get off on time. Cannot just drop out of the organising like that. Just not on and certainly not very British.

We're undecided whether we'll take the long or short hike up. So if we're not motivated we'll be on the 10:27 train and if we are motivated we'll meet you there at 2:00.

*makes plan to kidnap crawlie for at least one beer up the hill...*

*plans not to resist any beer-drinking kidnap attempts*

for those who stay behind in munich... i heard the rumour that if the temperature hits 20degrees tomorrow, there will be freibier at the chinese tower, E-garden...

Not sure I can make the meet but plan to show up a wee bit later.

Already discussed Freibier at the chinesischer Turm

All right, I'm going to get a Gesamtnetz MVV Tageskarte as well, like Allershausen -- it also takes 5 people but neither it nor the Bayernticket takes us on the bus, so it's just 8 Euros cheaper.

See you there! Gonna brings some cards to hopefully get a Eucre game on...

What's the dress code kids?
Lederhosen or Zivil?
Quick change later into England top and then off to The Arc?

Well I was going to get a partner ticket but nobody seems interested, so I'll just get myself a single day ticket. Not going to throw nearly €8 away.

Good question MT. I just bought my first Dirndl last month and would love to wear it. That said, I don’t think I’d want to hike up a mountain in it!

Lederhosen my arse, looking at most of the non-TT'er there last time, cycling lycra is most appropriate...

Not a well bunny, won't be making the trip Have fun guys n gals

we'll join you but make our own way there as not sure what time we will stagger out of bed ...either horrendously early (ugh) or seriously late...

I'm pretty sure we'll be there...and driving, so...in theory, we have a couple seats, & could drive a couple people one-way (at least), very uncomfortably...hmm...I need a beer...

43 of you, 1 of me. must be beer o'clock...

Yep. On my way to the station ... now!

smashing day for it. Hope you all had a good time
