Meet up at the Freising Volksfest

It's Volksfest time again in Freising and, well, it would be rude not to go. The Freisinger Volksfest is like Oktoberfest, except there's only one tent and no Italians on the floor. Oh, and the beer only costs €5.40 for a Maß!

The date will be Sunday 2nd September at 3pm. Anyone in the Freising area is welcome, as of course is anyone from Munich. Because it's harder to find people at the Volksfest than in the Huber Weisse, I suggest we meet in the booking hall of the train station at 3pm and walk from there.

For people coming from Munich, a train leaves Hbf (platform 25) at 2.44pm, arriving at 3.08pm (obviously we'll wait for you!). MVV tickets are valid on the train (Gesamtnetz - a Tageskarte costs €10 for one person or €19ish for up to five). There's also an S1 that arrives at 3.04pm, having stopped at Moosach (14.35) and Feldmoching (14.40) among (many) others.

Please post below if you intend to come!

Volksfest Freising

Does Lohhof count as Freising and surroundings? If so Scogs and I are up for this.

Put me down as a definite maybe.

I MUST get the ripped crotch in the lederhosen repaired!

nice, I think as I commented in another thread I will be up for this. I may also bring some people with.

I reckon you'll get there quicker than I can, 4 stops on the S-bahn, no probs, whereas I shall be getting the Volksfest bus that visits every cow shed between Allershausen and Freising! I'm not moaning though, I think it's great that they run a special bus service, just for me! I'll have to meet you all in the tent though as said bus doesn't get me there till 4:00. I've got STBs number so I'll call if I can't find you all. See you there.

So that IS your picture on Adult Chat!

I believe that the Landkreis of Freising ends at the far end of the IKEA car park in Eching. Nonetheless, Lohhofers are as welcome as Münchner as welcome as Freisinger!

...no comment on this MT...but have to ask how did it get ripped?

or maybe I dont want to know

I'll be there, barring accidents...

Looks like we'll be having perfect beer-tent weather; cold and wet outside, warm and beery inside! A couple of other people have PMed me to say they're coming, so we should be quite a crowd.

I'm sure you're only joking, but all of Eching is in Landkreis Freising.

See you there Sunday. At the Volksfest that is , not in Eching!

If it is crappy weather, I might be up for this..

Ripped crotch in Lederhosen should be repaired by Friday so looking more likely now.

and the count down begins. For those munichers coming up I think sarahbyrd already has my handy number, but for the rest if you pm me or stb we can send you one. however the fast train gets in at eight past three so those coming in on that train we shall be at the booking office at the station.

By gum, I do have your moby #! Scogs and I will be on the S1 that leaves Lohhof at 14.50h, arrival Freising whenever. How far is it to the fairgrounds? Like - can I wear killer boots or are Wanderstiefel a better bet?

It's a fair step to the fairground, bit like walking from goetheplatz U-bahn to the bier tents at the Wiesn.

But you can get the beer scooter on the way back!

If the weather is crap, and I can't fly on Sunday, then I reckon we might come along to this.. I'm kind of hoping for crappy weather really..

I have to finish off some work this morning, so I'll definitely be needing those beers later! See you all at 3 or just after. Hope the weather's sufficiently crap, Hutcho!

Well, weather is good, but flight instructor is taking out some beginners right now, and she's going to call me when she knows when she'll be done.. in my experience, things always take longer than they should, and if she calls at 13:00, I'm not going to drive all the way down to fussen just to jump off a mountain one or two times.. so i'd say it's looking possible..

If anyone doesn't make it by 3, then you can always meet us there of course. It's at the Luitpoldanlage. Basically, turn right out of the station and keep walking, past Esso, until you see a multi-storey car park (after a good five to ten minutes). Turn right under the railway and then it'll be straight ahead of you.

Hi ya!

I look forward to seeing you on Sunday. Will meet up at the train station. Is it Hauptbanhof Freising? Palitha

Yip.

Am awake after cheap cocktails and karaoke last night, need to find my sea legs still though.
Praps a bacon sandwich is in order?

mmm sounds good. Can you make me one too?

Nice mug of tea too OG? The teabags are from Tescos in Penarth!

no tea-bagging for me thank you!

What's "tea-bagging" ? Does a delicate innocent lad like me want to know the answer to that?

Our S-Bahn arrives app. 3.05pm, we'll meet you at the ticket office.
@Allershausen: Is your daughter coming along?

I'm gonna try and be on the 1444.

<flexes the geilste wadl'n the Müllerstrasse has ever seen>

jsut for you, MT:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teabagging

anyone gonna show up in Tracht? Can not really decide whether I should show all geared up, so if anyone else comes in Tracht that might help me decide

As they say in the Bräurosl:

A bisserl' Leder braucht mal jeder!

Jesus OG!

"Russian goggles", PMSL!

Ok, we'll be there in Tracht on the 14:44 from HBF.. see you all there..

Playing "Er gehört zu mir" to get in the mood!

OK, well however's idea this was is in BIG trouble. I had a lot of fun but boy am I drunk!

aww how cute he can't even write a proper sentence anymore. bless

Freising Bahnhof is THE new chill out room.

Don't feel 100% today, but good work for organising this STB. Was good fun.

Thank you for organizing, STB, it was a great outing with fun people.

My head's still not entirely there despite drinking litres of Isostar last night. Had a lot of fun though; nice to have met some old and some new faces!

There are some photos in the photo gallery. If anyone wants any removed, just drop me a line.

For some reason, I feel a bit wobbly today! Good fun it was, thanks for organising STB.

Good TT drinks session, It was great to meet people from outside the city thanks to STB for organising

Top session though the ouzo was a mistake!
Thanks for organising STB.

we stayed at the greek resteraunt and had a few more...missed the S-bahn and had to get a taxi home

When I got back to the station I had just missed the last S bahn and the station was locked.
But there was the last last last train that I had to wait almost another hour for.
Quite comfy lying on the platform at the station...

Don't remember much about yesterday, save for the pounding head...

Thanks for organising it STB... I think
