HI folks

We are going down to Dresden to watch the registration friday 27/6 and prolog saturday 28/6 and hopefully also the first stage on sunday 29/6.
We are doing it as a recon trip since we are planning to do it next year in The Kitten.

We are flying in to Berlin on thursday afternoon, where we pickup a small hired car and then we drive down to Dresden to watch all the fun.

The program is as below.

28.06.2008 - Prolog
29.06.2008 - Erste Etappe in Deutschland
30.06.2008 - Zweite Etappe Grenzübertritt Gubin-Zagan
01.07.2008 - Dritte Etappe Rundkurs Zagan
02.07.2008 - Vierte Etappe Hannibal-Marathon-Etappe
03.07.2008 - Fünfte Etappe kleiner Rundkurs Recz
04.07.2008 - Sechste Etappe grosser Rundkurs Drawsko
05.07.2008 - Siegestetappe - Party

It would be nice to know if anybody went there, perhaps we could meet and have a few beers and a chat....

Regards

Ole.

Have always wanted to do this, but always find myself busy or returning from other trips when this event is running.

I heard some sad news that this could be the last Dresden Breslow as the organisers are retiring?

Does anyone else know about this?

Jim

I will be out in Poland at that time, so I may have to make a detour or two.

Have they a web site for 2008, as I can only find 2007?

Cheers

currently it is the last DB in the current format (organiser are retiring as Jim said). Someone else is taking over from next year, but not much information if/what changes will be made.

Hi Folks

That is no good news, but we will se what happens so much more a good reason to go and do some recon.

Yes it is hard to get info, I found them via link on http://www.marathonrally.com/news/7188.0.html I am not good at getting links to work but otherwise copy/paste.


Could still be fun to meet some off you for a beer


Regards

Ole.

Hi,

I will be there from the 27th, as the crew of Marathonrally.com are celebrating their aniversary that night with a lot of beer, bar-b-q and music.

I will try to post my images as soon as I get online, though I am not sure if I will have the time as a friend of mine ist currently desperatly looking bfor a co-driver/navigator in his Range "Rat-Rover".

Cheers, Robert

Robert,
Have you any better way points or references of where this is taken place please?

Peter

Hi Peter,

what do you need? Quite a few friends of mine are competing in this years event and I know the guys from Marathonrally, so I guess I can get any information you need....shoot

Cheers,

Robert

Hi Robert.

Would be really nice to meet for a chit chat, where is this taking place?

Can you confirm the rumor posted in a previous post here re that it might be the last DB or do you know any better.

Kind regards
Ole.

Robert,

Confirmations on places and dates would be fine, I will be on my way back from the south of Poland and can change my dates to suit probably get the last 3 days if I am lucky.

Thanks

Peter

Hi there,

I am back, or currently on an assignment in the UK.

I will be competing in the event and there are a few positions currently open.

2 Mechanics for MAN
A new team with a MAN KAT1 V10 Deutz 6x6 is currently seeking 2 qualified MAN (preferably) mechanics for their service crew.
They pay 500 Euro for the service and come up for any expenses during the raid.


Co-pilot in a Suzuki Jimny
A competitor is in desperate need of a navigator and is paying all expenses during the event for the co-pilot.

Co-pilot on a Rover
A friend of mine is still looking for a co-driver in his Range Rover.


Just send me a note or email me at: kranz(at)frontline-services.de


Other than that, the Marathonrally Party will be on Friday 27th and there will be a lot of free beer and bar-b-q

So long,

Robert
