Hi HUBBers

My name is Sven and I'm from Sweden(feel free to check out my profile).

English is not my native language and I want to apologize for any errors, grammatically or other.

I've read about earlier meetings and noted there are different opinions on almost everything from showers to food to prices to number of participants. I myself am leaning towards the opinions of the more positive postings.

I've not been to a HU-meeting before and have some questions.

I have no problem with registering and paying in advance, but what about if I'm not able to attend?
I'm not after to get a refund or something like that, I'd happily pay and take my losses if I can't show. I'm more interested in how I would be looked upon if I do not show up.
I've no problems letting you know in advance, i.e. sending an email or making a phonecall if you want that info, but my problem is that due to my worksituation I may be called upon with a couple of days notice.

I understand there's gonna be alot of camping but there's also references to hotels. How about the gasthaus Zur Schneeburg, do they offer accommodation?

Is it expected/obligatory to have meals and drinks at the gasthaus?
Do you have arranged meals as a group?

Are there going to be arranged campfires at the camping? and is campfires even allowed?

What about toilettes and personal hygiene? Is there showers/running hot and cold water or do you have to bring it with you?

I'm sure I'd probably have more questions in the future but I'll settle for these for the time beeing.

Hi Sven,
Your English is better than many around here, myself included.

I dont know about refunds but you can also pay at arrival, its just 10€ extra. Might be a safe choise if you're not sure.

I have visited the German meeting last spring. The German meeting is a lot smaller than the English meeting. About 50 persons.
There are no obligations to join any groupactivities. But the most visitors are social people, so you will probably make some new friends who you hang around with.
The campsite is a meadow next to the Gasthaus. The cows are moved out for the occasion so watch out for the damp spots... There is an improvised shower and running cold water next to the Gasthaus. Toilets are ok.

The food of the Gasthaus is good classic German cooking but not really cheap. If you are on a budget you can go to the supermarket nearby and do your own cooking.

Thx,

Hopefully I'd be able to attend this year.

Se ya' on the road somewhere.

Sven.

I've now registered and payed for the meeting and I'm looking forward to meet everyone.

My plans as of today is arriving home from my work at sea on monday evening late, leave home on the RT tuesday morning and arriving in Lübeck, Germany late afternoon where I will spend a night.

I've not yet decided how to get to Lübeck, there's the brigde via Malmö-København and then ferry Rødby-Puttgarten and there's also some other ferry options, I'm leaning towards a ferry option that'll take me directly to Travemünde-Lübeck because I'm somewhat familiar with that area.
Then leave Lübeck rather early in the morning wednesday to arrive att location late afternoon.

I'd have liked to take some more time on small roads down to the meeting but I'm a bit time restricted due to my late arrival home from work

A question for El Aleman - Jens,

Do you know if it's possible to contact the owners at "Zur Schneeburg" by e-mail and/or if they speak English?

Regards

Sven

Hi all, I'm new here. I'm a girl riding solo and I'm considering joining the Germany meeting (i live in Belgium so it's not that far away). Are there any other girls/women travelling solo and coming to this event? It's just that I would love to do this but struggling a bit to get out of my comfort zone. Is it easy to meet people or are there many riders travelling in couples or groups? Is it safe? I would love to hear from you all! Thanks, Karolien

Been to two German Hubb Autumn meets, this will be my first summer meeting, It's very friendly and safe and you will soon meet and mix with people. There are some great roads to ride on , with a group or solo, as you wish and also some great walks in the woods and hills surrounding the camp . There have been many couples and solo ladies and families at the past events, so i cannot see this being any different, just maybe a little warmer. Come along you won't regret it .

Thanks bushman_uk for your reassuring words. I guess that's just the kind of reply I was hoping for! greetz Karolien

Hi Jens, Sven, Karolien, Fern, and all the rest that have posted on here, and others that will be at the HU Meeting in Germany.

Just wished to say hello to all and that I signed up for the HU meeting a while back and while be riding through Fracne for two weeks, and then am looking forward to attending the HU meeting, arriving on the Friday.

I have offered to help volunteer a bit in the hopes of being able to to meet everyone there. I have attended two HU meetings in Western Canada, one in 2008 and the other in 2010 and can say they were a great places to meet fellow bikers from all over, and am looking very much forward to the HU German meeting.

Before having to return to the income-generating-model (work) back here on the West Coast of Canada, I will have a month after the meeting to ride, and just wish to warn you advance, I may be pestering you all about questions about where you are from, what the highlights are, and the word on camping, hostels, and guest houses, etc.

I have a bike that I plan on leaving in England, and I did write a few communities in Europe about storage lockers for my bike for six months or longer 'till I am back over again, so if you have any thoughts on that, please save them for when I am there (if you don't mind, as I don't wish to clog up this post with those details), and I would happy to hear about them.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Cheers from Canada!

Ian

Ian , i can sort you out with storage for the bike e-mail me bushman_uk@hotmail.com

We've both booked online but haven't made final route plans yet so send me a PM if you want to get in touch. Departure from somewhere near Brussels or meet up along the way somewhere.
