Mosel Meet. (1 Viewer)

[brynric]

Hope you all have a good time. We are on the Mosel...in a hotel in Trier....the Moho is in the compound of the Fiat garage waiting for the clutch to be dealt with. There’s a long waiting list, 5 motorhomes waiting on Tuesday. Mehring -not on the front row- was our last stop.
Still, lots of cycling and ruins to view.
Can you do a motorhome meet without a motorhome?!?

 

[BILL 875]

Hi All,
We will be on the ferry 8th Sept, night at cite/euro, then on to Luxembourg and up the Moselle, Trier or Mehring then ?, hope to meet some Funsters on our travels.
Bill & Lynne

Trust me... I don't have to get out of bed to chat to you young man. My bed area is fully equipped with modern communication devices...


JJ

I cannot tell you how relieved I am to hear that. The thoughts of you being disturbed early morning on Skype with the camera on do not bear thinking about .

 

[Snowbird]

Damn, damn, damn. I have just been informed that the BIG wine festival is on this weekend in Reil. I thought that was the other weekend when @champers was here and we attempted to go through the card. This one is in the village proper, and all the wineries open there doors for food and wine Friday to Sunday. Wish me luck .

 

[champers]

Oh bummer we have missed that treat ...how will you manage to get through the card on your own ...too far for us to return at present alas ...just don't have that one rose again lol

Safe return journey...to the van after at least xxx

Sorry to heat that. Good luck getting the job done quickly, and at a reasonable price too.

Bu@@er, that was bad planning on our part, as we won't be able to get there in time for that.

Safe travels to all those making their way over.

Cheers,

Jock.

After getting a nice riverfront pitch at Mehring yesterday I opened the blinds this morning to discover that the Mosel had disappeared. Yes Really!!!!
Someone has parked a bloody great aircraft carrier right in front of us overnight. Didn't hear a thing, must be a 'stealth' ship.

 

[Two on Tour]

It needs a reversing camera going by the damage on the back quarter.

 

[Clarky]

To add to the annoyance of losing our river view we sat eating breakfast with rain streaming down the windscreen.
What we forgot was that the roof light over the bed was wide open. Doh!!!
Slightly soggy bed now and no sun to dry it off.

@JockandRita Thanks Koblenz is one of the places on our route.

Having kept up with this thread so far, with a view to planning a trip next year, I can't believe how many funsters are over there now. Us girls were thinking of June to set off but this is simply to set a date for our diaries.
Any advice as to the best time to go?
(We have only been to Twin Lakes 2018 and northern/central France this year----and it rained both times!)

It puts it all into perspective @Clarky when the people on those cruisers spend upwards of £1000 per week to view motorhomes on the Mosel and we pay 60 Euros per week to view them .

 

[JJ]

Jeeeeeez

€60 per week...

Rather expensive, but not enough to need a lie down.

This is good because I have only just got up.

Thats because you did not get your wakeup call this morning, sorry I forgot .

Didn’t need to go to those lengths as we went for a stroll into the village and when we returned the SS Geriatric had reversed a fair bit and is now blocking the view of the next door stellplatz.
We watched as a load of the passengers disembarked and it looked like a day outing from a retirement home.
There was a smaller river cruiser moored behind and when that left the aircraft carrier took its place.
Glad to report that the Memsahib has her view back and is now happy.

A tad "ageist" surely?

Some folk dream of settling into a retirement home and then going on day trips to annoy youngsters...

Youngsters? We should be so lucky.
But compared with some of those struggling down the gangplank with their zimmers we might just qualify.

[The Wino]

We are heading over to the Moselle for a quick visit in 10 days time. We are using up a tunnel crossing before it goes out of date (frequent traveller) out from the UK Sat back the next Thursday ...........work!!!!!. Aim to get to Trier Sunday mid day where do you experts recon are good places to visit over 4 nights to get a bit of a flavour of the area so we can go back later and do a proper job.

 

[tacr2man]

Arrived 1505 today thurs , just managed to squeeze in , and they are still arriving non stop !!
Its surprising there are that many overland travel vehicles as you hardly ever see one on the road ?
@Snowbird might make it upto Reil Fri afternoon , on the scooter we are booked here till monday

Do we need to get an umwelteplakette for this region? only just thought about it and now pannicking!!!!

Wouldn’t have thought so. Mostly in city areas I think.
We have one on a ‘just in case’ basis.

Richard.

 

[Clarky]

Just remembered that I downloaded an app just before leaving home. It gives details of all the ‘Green Zones’ in Europe.
If you are coming to the Mosel via Belgium- Luxembourg there are no green zones to worry you.
There are green zones in Aachen, Koln, Bonn, Frankfurt in this part of Germany.

As its the winefest here Fri till Sun, am just wondering which day would be best to Enkirch on the bike. Maybe Saturday would be best, what do you think.

Just say "Excuse me am English" We dont have those things in England.

Somehow, I'm not convinced about that advice Dave. ....................................
