    Please do. This was our first meeting with more nationalities than just Germans and Austrians. It's great to meet people from other cultures in such a nice setting.



    Yes, it's a fantastic site. Don't get the wrong impression, though: unfortunately places like that are few and far between. That's why I drive 7 hours to hammock meetings there. That might not be a lot to an American, but it's almost another country in Europe! These types of places usually belong to a village and were built by the community for the community. But they are private. In this case, we have good connections to the Ortsvorsteher (I don't think there's a word for that in English - but you could translate it jokingly with "village chief").

    I will suggest putting a plaque with "Ehrfürchtiges Feuerstellenhaus" on the fire hut, but we only call it "Grillhütte" (BBQ hut) or - if our chief of firebugs is there - "das Höllenfeuer" (hellfire)
    7 hours is a long drive in whatever country you live in! I consider anything over 3 hours a long drive. At least in Germany you have the Autobahn with no speed limit. Unfortunately for Europeans, your fuel is much more expensive than here in the USA.

    Well, there is no general speed limit, but in reality there are often local speed limits - and these days, the Autobahnen are clogged with trucks. It's hardly possible to go 180km/h for any substantial distances. Don't get me wrong: I would prefer it if there was a general speed limit. There are too many cars driven by people who think that they are the best drivers ever and who are in a dreadful hurry to get where-ever they're going. After a 7 hour ride I'm always amazed that there are not more accidents...

    Is there a reason the german forums are down?

    None that I know. It seems to be back online now.

    Pity, the Pentecost weekend is already booked for another activity.

    Maybe the autumn session then...
