Hi David

I guess you'll better hurry up as I guess there won't be a lot more events. For the last 2-3 years there were always rumours that it'll be the last one. This year, only about 10 tanks with rubber tracks (no steel tracks anymore, except the tank destroyer which was most of the time loaded onto a trailer) were driving on the roads. Pretty low number if you compare with former years And it was quite a mess on Sunday, the convoy was splitted in several groups and every group took another route. Not easy to follow, as they didn't follow the route which was driven the last few years. And there was a lot of mud and water in the woods, so most vehicles missed the fun part for spectators.

So you better plan a trip for the last weekend in August 2012!

Greetings from Switzerland
Chris

Thanks Chris, I better start planning then. If the local authorities have got a bit funny about steel on tarseal its not too surprising as having watched some of the videos on youtube the road surfaces must be getting a hiding, especially the cobble stones. Regards David.
