Day 1:
Most of the photos are appearing sideways and I can't seem to get them the correct way round!
Myself @SilverArrow @Libby_Liz and @chainedbanana set off for Stuttgart! It had been three long years since I'd even ridden a cred so was concerned that I'd forgotten how, but that was an issue for later as we had Heathrow to content with.
I'd be lying if I said that sitting in the spoons in Heathrow airport, waiting for a delayed flight, was my preferred start to a trip but never mind. It gave me, Emily and Harry a chance to catch up and also gave us a chance to bump into Sue! It's a small world after all! Before you all cry that I've left Liz out, we we're meeting her on the over side, if we ever got there.
Finally a gate for provided but BA said we had board quickly as Stuttgart airport had a curfew of midnight and we wouldn't be able to land if we were late. Not that BA made any attempt tp hurry the boarding process and seemed to endlessly faff. There was also bag faff. Emily had to place her bag under the plane in the hold. We were about 2/3 of the way there when the captain announced that some, if not, bags were left in London so we could get going. When we landed I was one of the first off of the plane so went through passport control and sat by the baggage belt thing. 5 yes 5! Bag appeared. I was hoping one was Emily's, thankfully one was! Then we got a taxi to the hotel, met Liz and got up early to collect the hire care.
When picking up a hire car I always check for damages alongside the sheet that the company email to you. It's fair to say this car hadn't been looked after.
Frankly the car was ****. An Opel Corsa. I cannot for the life of me see why these are so popular. Heavy pedals, cheap feeling gear change, just rubbish. I was missing my pussywagon that I cruise around in at home. I get this was a peasant spec car but still!
Anyway we hit the road and headed to a slightly moist Schawben Park. I'd heard this place described as "ghetto" but having originated from a 'ghetto' myself *cough* erm.. Cambridge, I wasn't worried.
First impressions were that it seemed ok. On to creds! I didn't take many photos. We started on Hummel Brummel, this weird suspended thing that is sort of powered by levels you can control. Decent overall.
Next we did Force One. Actually pretty good. Best cred I'd ridden for ages and actually felt the forces again haha. Next up was kiddie cred, train of shame. +1! Followed by the BobKart, totally a cred! We finished on the weird chicken thing. Was slightly terrifying! The ride isn't actually sideways but I can't get the photo be the correct way.
German is home to many strange things, here are two of them:
We hit the road again and headed to Skyline Park!
We started on their spinner. Was ok, nothing much to write home about. Next up we did the Schwartz. It's being binned soon apparently so happy to get the cred!
This heap of rubbish was next:
Honestly what the **** is this. Just awful. No speed, **** laugh and does **** all. Awful capacity too.
It was then time to eat. When in Germany:
We did quite a fab GeistaBahn:
But enough of that! There's creds to get!
Next cred was a mincy suspended thing with a vertical lift. I didn't take a photo, you're welcome.
Skywheel is the biggest and also worst cred in the park. If you enjoy hang time then this is probably the ride for you. I'll be honest in saying that I was quite contempt with one lap, but was given two because I am ever so lucky.
We ticked off the SBF Visa Group spinning thing that was become the new Big Apple/ Crazy Caterpillar, man these things are ****ing everywhere! I heard a knocking at my window last night and wondered if it was a bird or one of these turd spinners.
Off to Munich we went with some new creds! A feeling that I had very much forgotten.
Those of you who know me, know I like a beer. In fact I've now tried over 5000 beers and judged Champion Beer Of Britain twice. That's impressed you hasn't it?
We headed to Augustiner am Platzl. I'd been before. It's a nice central Munich pub.
I had one of my all time faves Augustiner Helles and their 2022 Oktoberfest Bier! Tasty!
dinner before heading to bed as a day at Oktoberfest awaited.
Part 2 when I can be arsed. Tbf it might be shortly when I have filled a coffee in my face.
