Slow drive thro Germany

Post by ronk » Sun Aug 14, 2022 4:58 pm

We checked out of the Hotel earlier than planned and had the drive north to Arnhem- knowing the room wouldn’t be ready I did the 200 miles on the Autobahn at 60mph

You passed my birthplace then :D

You should have gone flat out, then go up the Posbank which is the most stunning nature area. Great walks and great views, my home ground

Now you are a missionary in England !

Where was the birthplace? I didn’t stray far from the motorway!

Velp, you will have come in at the motorway junction Velperbroek I assume.

Right next to Oosterbeek, well known to you. That is my youth area

I worked at Kema in Arnhem business park in Oosterbeek for a year ages ago.
It was like the fekin twilight zone in that place! :lol:
Bikin around Posbank is nice tho and seeing where my granddad landed in his glider as part of operation Marketgarden was interesting.
