Idea For A Subsim Summer Trip?

mr chris · 02-06-07, 02:29 PM

Hi there i was talking online with a very good friend of mine last night when it was pointed out to me how close i live to the German WW2 U-Boat bases of Kiel and Whilemlshaven.
I was thinking of going up to vist one or maybe both at some point over the summer holidays. Well i though to myself well why go on your own. So i was wondering if any members of the community would be intrested in visting the above mention sites at some point over the summer time. We could even turn it into a big Subsim trip and event.
Well anyone intrested just leave a post.

I'd be right with you Sir but I'm over here in the States. Would be quite an expense for me

. I will make my journey to U-505 in Chicago.

Being a 'pongo' you may need a bodyguard going into a naval base

If your buying the beers then I could give it further consideration :hmm: ....might even let you have a look at my baton/truncheon :rotfl:

living about 8 hts drive fro Hamburg, where a boat lays.. hmm when?

I just wondered how many people might be intrested. If the was a good enough intrested i would look into a bit more. If not i would just plan it and go on a trip up there with maybe my Dad if he was intrested enough.
It would be great if alot of people would be intrested and could make it.
Perhaps we could tempt Neal from his copy of SH4 and get him over to germany.

Depending on when you're planning to go and on the finances of the whole trip I might be interested

johan_d · 02-06-07, 03:23 PM

tell me of your plans. I might be interrested, yes wieder ein verdamte Hollander.. but I like to see it also. Somewhere in the summer?

Hi guys i will try and find out when my summer leave is tommorow so i can try and put some dates in the air and we can see what dates are best for everyone.
As for where to go we do have many options which depend on how much time and how much money it costs.
We could just vist one place or we could start at Kiel or Whilemlshaven and use the train to get from one to the other. Im sure we could even stop off at Hamburg to take in a vist of the U-boat there as well.
As for time if we planed this over the weekend we could take in say kiel and the memorial and the sights there for a day then enjoy the night life there for one night then move on to Hamburg the next day then on to Whilmlshaven later the same to take in the night there and do the sight seeing the next day.

This is just an idea if anyone has any ideas it would be great to hear them.
The more ideas and options we have to chose from the better it will be.
