Austria Bullitreffen 2010 Kals am Grossglockner

[berrie120]

We Left Wednesday

Changed our route underway because of serious bad Weather.
We toook the highway to Ehrwald gereden in one leap 870km so we could stay just before the bad weather

At dawn we arrived in Austria on the feet of the Zugspitze, and met some friends who left for vacation there, so we could rest one day and have a chat.

Englisch breakfast

Some napping, we drove all night

The next morning we got a wakeupcall from Volkswouter he was driving around Munchen and we would meet in Kals.

Broke dowm the awning and left.

Down in first gear from the campsite

Than the tourist route through the fernpass,

After a serious down hill we had to turn into the highway but the engine could turn only stationary, I geuss vaporlock of overheated petrol.
So we changed the route again and took the old Brennerpass route instead of the highway route, without any problems with the enigine.

The old Brennerpass,

Underneath the New route the EuropaBrucke

And via Italy to Kals Austria a bit more km's but nice surroundings.

From Italy to Austria is a small Pass pass die Staller,, full in Nature but didn't know about the one way route, so we had to wait 45 minutes.

Then at green light we were the first to left on a 3 meter wide path with serious hill climb.

A complete traffic jam behind us, we were climbing in first gear 13 km/h.
And then the enigine stalled, could just move it into a ditch so everybody could pass.

Started the engine and drove again.

We where last up, but everybody who passed was waiting and we became a standing ovation, that was an emotional moment.

30 people around the bus, and again a hour later:-) so te bus could cool doen.

From there it was 30 km/h downhill for the last steep hillclimb again at first gear.

Ook deze was weer 1ste versnelling en 13km/h.

Area51 and Volkswouter were waiting and we left to the campsite.

At 17:00 we left to hous Luckner for a foto shot.

Everybody was ready to leave but I hit the Red9 steeringbox and had no steering, I fixed it in five minutes after finding some right tools and lifing the car.

On the way down from House luckner a slow drivig Area51 infront of me,
And then he was hobbling and his rearhatche opened.

It was time for a BBQ.

The Next day we left for a major trip

Through the felbertauern tunnel,

Zell am See, gross glockner.
First stop the felbertaurn tunnel, they had to close the tunnel for all incomming watercooled cars because of a Splitvan trafficjam.

Next the grossglockner,

I left first

But overhauled in 300 meter by the Bullizei.

I thought with my climbing capacity's lets start first.

Slow but easy took the

Downhill together

Hope to be there in 2012 again.
