Hey Smiler - I saw from an earlier post that you're in ZH - me too, whereabouts are you?
BTW, a hoon on 12.4 could be on provided I get my car sorted before then

Hmm, not exactly sure where the golf park is but I know Kloten all right.

I live in Adliswil but work in Zurich city near the lake.

Fancy a PH beer in ZH sometime? and other CH PH's ?

Is there somewhere nice between Zurich and Zug for that beer, somewhere to drive to on a Sunday perhaps?

AS far as I'm concerned all still on. I'll post more at the beginning of April, as I'm away in America from 19 to 30 March.
Is a meet at 9am and depart at 9:30 OK for all coming into Lörrach from CH?or is 9:30 for 10:00am better?

From Zürich: Use the new A98 connection from Rheinfelden into Lörrach (marked only Deutschland 2km after the Feldschlösschen Brewery after Rheinfelden Ost heading into Basel on the swiss motorway)
From Bern/Olten: join the Basel-Zürich Autobahn and drive towards Zürich then exit at the first exit onto the new connector Autobahn.

We'll be meeting near the exit Lörrach Mitte, exit off the large bridge, at the lights go straight ahead to the roundabout. Meet at the gravel works (straight ahead) at the roundabout (parking for arouind 10 cars).

Coming, up to now are,

PS good maps of southern Black Forest would be good 1: 100000 including Freiburg and Lörrach if you can get one.... small, very small, roads planned!
e.g Die Freizeitkarte (Schwarzwald Süd) or a Michelin

Back from US and was going to post today. As far as I'm concerned all OK still. Meeting point see my previous post. Anything unclear?

No snow today, some in the fields higher up but roads all OK and at the end of the week it's supposed to get warmer again... so lets HOON!

Directions as above but here's a google map linky

http://www.geo-lookup.com/de/labels/l%C3%B6rrach

Enlarge it and move the map down slightly until you have the A98/E54 exit shown, You should be arriving from the bottom left corner of the map on the Autobahn. Follow the exit down to the B317, cross this at the lights onto the narrow white road (parallel to the Autobahn) to the end, there's a roundabout (unmarked) and the meeting point is the small appendix shaped end of this same road where Brombacher Strasse and Lörracher Strasse meet. Gravel works, large white gravel silo visible from 600yds.
See you there, 9am or 9.30am? which is better for you from zürich/luzern? its around an hours drive....
