But do go. You'll have a very mini Subsim meeting. Then you can post pictures of the boat and each other!

Drove up there from Stuttgart four years ago, I always traveled with my Truck, Kayak & Mountain bike. So Hotels I dodged. Funny enough. I threw my tent up on the beach under the bow and broke camp at dawn(Very quiet area) Keil is a nice town with plenty of Hotels and is about 15 min from the boat, there is a RV camp site further down the beach by the U-Boat memorial. I don't advise paddling out in the bay though. nearly got rammed by a tanker doing 15kts, Ha Ha. Also about 1.5-2 hrs is Bremerhaven and the XXI moored there. you can check em both out!
PS there is also a few of the bunker left in Keil bay as well.

- Drive to Bremerhaven, visit Wilhelm Bauer there

- Drive to Bremen Airport to get back to England, leave car there

- Post a lot of stuff here

- done!

thanks Danasan - i dont think i will get time to do both though, as much as i would like.
and thanks to all you others for your thoughts - like the idea of camping under the boat!
as the time gets closer and the possibility becomes more realistic i will post some dates up here. im thinking around March next year at the moment. good chance to meet up with other Sub's for a beer and photos
