Oktoberfest

hi there

has anyone every been to the oktoberfest?

after a boring day at work i started hatching a small plan to ride down and sample the delights of the beer festival and be served good booze by busty bavarian women!!

it runs from the 22nd sept to the 7 oct

plan so far is to leave from newcastle and ferry on the party boat to amsterdam on the 20th/21st then be at the opening of the festival on the 22nd and then maybe head back to amsterdam for the ferry back to newcastle

amsterdam - munich 512 miles take in some autoban and for those track lovers nurnburg is on the way to munich so...

anyone already going or fancy joining?

if anyone knows of any good places hostels or campsites around munich would be very helpful!!
also any ideas about the little trip would be really useful

cheers

Have been to the Oktoberfest with some squaddies about 25 years ago, if your riding spend the last day your there sight seeing instead of drinking otherwise you wont be sober enough to ride the next day hehehehe

Would love to go again but this year Im changing jobs and the daughters 18th birthday party has rather blown the budget
