Cali's on Tour - Euro Road Trip - 2013

[Martin]

Due to the 4 Nations meet being so complicated to arrange between the four owners clubs around Europe we have been working with Wim from VW Camper Site in Belgium on a road trip travelling through France, Belgium, Germany & Holland in the summer of 2013.

The plan will be to leave Folkestone on 25th July stopping at various campsites en-route where we will be meeting up with our Continental Cali friends at each site/country we go to, when leaving each campsite we will be picking up a few more people who want to join the trip with us.

Once in Germany we plan to visit the VW California Factory and possibly the Westfalia factory aswell if anyone is interested.

The trip will run for around ten days but you do not need to stay with us for the whole duration, some people have said they will drop in as part of their summer hols, it is also an ideal trip for anyone who has not travelled outside of the UK before.

This is still 'work in progress' and more details will be added soon.

If this is of interest to anyone at this stage please let us know.

Hello,

Went today to Düsseldorf - Germany (Caravan Salon) and spoke to the people of Westfalia in Rheda-Wiedenbrück, Volkswagen - Hannover and VW Camper Center in Amersfoort (Holland)
Especially the VW Camper Center in Amersfoort is very enthusiast and want to organize something for our group at their Center and want to help with looking for a unique place for to stay overnight with our Cali's.
Martin, I sent you a PM with further questions.

Regards,
