Trip to Andechs - Saturday 17.Jul.2004

Saturday 17th July 2004 - Andechs II - The Revenge

Leaving Hauptbahnhof early, get to Andechs. Drink beer, eat pork, and enjoy the sun (hopefully).

If you didnt travel last time, there's evidence of the TT carnage at Keydeck's gallery or you can have a look at the Andechs website for info too.

P.S. anyone else volunteering to lead us up the hill this time?

I may be up for this one, as it's my last weekend in Munich!

Sounds like fun, last time was great!

what time do you plan to come and go? I will be on holiday until that day in Austria, maybe we can pop in on the way back, I love it there!

I reckon we will be there most of the day, arriving around 11am, and leaving around 1700.

P

Sorry, can't go that night. I wish I could re-live the moments again with everyone and enjoy the sites and the beer but perhaps next time. If you need a tour guide up the mountain, just call me and describe the rocks and trees and I can tell you which way to go.

Bit o' history: chicken^tonight almost saw his first squirrel on our climb up last time. He heard it, but it ran too fast.
Perhaps next time CT.

I really really want to go but I"ll still be in the states. can we negotiate some other days?

The booking page is available now here

Sorry, I spoke to a few TTers at GM's a while back and this is the date that appeared, and I know a few TTers dont know what they are doing so early in advance, but if we want a chance of a reservation then we need to book early!

P

I've stuck mine & Mel's name down, though not 100% sure if we will be able to make it or not.

If we do go, do we do the loooong 5Km walk like we did last time , or the shorter 3Km walk?

Hi,

I've got some Aussie chums coming this Saturday and was thinking of hitting Andechs too... is it really nescessary to book so much in advance?

Cheers,
Pelski.

@pelski
no, don't worry. But we usually are a good crowd. We were about 30-40 last time, so then it gets difficult.

Even if we got there mega early and found a table, the 'Polizei' table was booked from 2pm onwards, so it would be very likely that they would just move us to make way for a booking.

Count me in.
Note the U Bahn opening party is that evening too, if we have the inclination ie if anyone is still capable.

OK. Def. count me in and the let's go to the Garching U-Bahn party:
U-Bahn Tunnel Party - 17th July 2004

This thread seems a bit dead. Is this still on?
Anyone interested? - the last one was really good fun, a tt classic in fact.

sure, I just won't sign the list as it depends on when I get back from Austria, i have to drive... and I'm not sure if my sister flies home saturday night or sunday so need to check...

Absolutely wanna come but can't manage even a 300-m walk. Might be Roger's here that weekend though; then we could drive there. Or I could take the bus with the other lazies.

I think its on, but we just risk now having tables

So, whose thinking of going? and badger, I am happy to get on the bus too...

P

I'd be quite keen to go - looks like one of those must-do's when you're in Munich!

I will be there. Dont mind walking or taking the bus, but im sure we could all do with the exercise and fresh mountain air.
@Pootle: Did you make a booking in the end?
@SteveNZ: Another kiwi eh? Well well well...

no booking was made.

P

i have signed up. come rain or shine.

@ SteveNZ it is TOTALLY something you have to do here, the view across the lake and mountains is fab, the atmosphere is lovely, the food and beer (brewed by monks) is "spitzenmäßig"

I am def. going.

Leave Hauptbahnhof at 10am?

P

Is it too late to jump on board this event?
So, if one could make it, is there a particular place at the main station that everyone meets...or should I just listen for a large group of English speaking people? Time?

no, it's not too late. They're meeting at 10am on the 17th at central station, PM Pootle for his mobile to make sure you find them

Just tell me when and where to be on Saturday to meet for a travel there and I'll be there ready for my first trip to Andecs!

Yep, I'm in...though I don't much fancy walking up that hill...

Me too!

Anybody else in? Put your name on the list if you are coming...ooh I'm excited already!

Soft, Southern...

Like most Southerners I can afford a car (essentially a pit-pony with wheels, a CD player and air-con). However, if you wanna race me up that hill on foot Beery, you got yourself a race.

I'm either daft or hungover (or both), but I can't get my name on the list (wrong pword?!)

Count me in plus 1 guest, plus of course Petal who has no internet access...

Hmmm , a 5 km hike through the mountains? Squirrels?

Eh... i can do that in my backyard

It's either 5km or 3km, it depends which path you take up the hill. Last time we did the 5km walk, which is a nice walk, but I will go with what the majority want to do.

OK, so ventured out to internet cafe. As JoolyBooly said, count me in. A 3km walk sounds ample to me!

OK... wait... hold EVERYTHING!!!

Now I was obviously in a delirious state when I said that I'd be there at 10am, because as everyone knows (well, those "down under" types), the Mighty All Blacks take on Australia this Sat 17th, game starts 9.35am Munich time.

Unfortunately my patriotism is going to have to take over but I would still be keen to come out to Andechs, so pootle can I get your mobile and directions?? ie. which train to take to where? Game will be over by 11.30 (would you like the result?) and will be out there after that.

PS. Any Aussies/Kiwis - GM's at 9.35am this Sat? might post a separate thread...

Shit noone told me. Oh well, it should be possible to do both. Watching the rugger THEN going to Andechs sounds like good plan to me too. We will still get in a good arvo of fresh mountain air. I know the way Steve... See you at GMs.

@SteveNZ

These are the directions I put on the old thread, just in case people were late or couldnt make the orginal time. Hope they are useful.

Oh, one point, the S5 is running as normal now(I think), so we should be ok to go straight from hauptbanhof

Shame I can't make it... obliged to attend a wedding in Brussels

But I recommend Andechs to any newbies.. nice gentle climb and excellent strong Beer.

Just for the info, I have a Gruene Karte, which allows me to take a person for free with me on all the u- and s-bahns during the weekends, regardless how many rings. This is only valid if you have a weekly or monthly IsarCard (even if it's only for 2 rings).

I can only take ONE person for free...PM me when you're interested.

looks like I'll have to miss this again Have to go to Annecy for yet another conference...

Ok

Meet at haupbahnhof at 10am

Theres an s5 at 1020, which we should aim to be on.

Same meeting place as last time? The space in the main hall near the ticket machines?

I will be wearing a red rugby shirt again and even maybe some lederhosen...

P

Lederhosen??? Count me and 2 mates in!

What time do you guys think you'll make it back? I have to chauffer from the airport that evening.

8pm I think mate, tho if you're driving you won't be drinking an awful lot presumably?

Should get back about 8pm.

So which route are we taking up the hill then? Personally I think we should take the long one again, its going to be a nice day, it was a nice walk last time, and that walk makes the 1st beer worth the wait?

3 Lions - are you insane? i think we should take the bus personally.

I'm not coming unfortunately.

I'm on-call for work and then I have to set up for the gig that night...

Backing out now are we, soft, southern...
