Impressions

How did the place look last weekend:

What happens when you arrive?

We succeeded to make the event organisation with the camping even better and more pragmatic. The guys finally understood very well that it is in the interest of everybody to separate the Elefant as much as possible from the other tourists. Therefore we are happy to announce that the Elefant Village has now its own gate where you can enter it without riding across the entire campsite.

1. 1)Place your bike at the Elefant Parking. The place is just a view meters away from the reception desk and is reserved for Elefant’s only (Yes: if you come with your KTM or GS you can park there as well).
   

2. 2)Find the reception desk and register for the event
   

3. 3)Make sure that you have the following information ready when you arrive. The ladies will ask you for them!
   

4. 4)Get your welcome package. There is a cup in the welcome package. Don’t loose it you need it during the event!
   

5. 5)Open the pack and search for to wristbands. Put them on now and keep them on for the entire event. The white band is your entrance ticket to the entire event and the orange band is to get your meals.
   

6. 6)In case you visit the event with your tent you are done! No further hassle. Get back on your bike and follow the signs to the Elefant Village:
   

In case you have booked for a Camper or a bungalow then follow the advise of the reception desk. In case of queueing Elefant Riders in front of the reception desk. just ride down to the Elefant Village. Install your tent and come back later for the registration.

There is no one who prevents you to ride your Elefant on the gras in the Cagiva Elefant Village, but be aware that on the entire campsite walking speed is mandatory. Please leave the gras in a decent state. Remember to keep a civilised and decent behaviour within the campsite Birkelt. Please do not ride the bikes after 22.30 and stay cool!

More Program Info

When you register at the Camping scheduled for Friday 23th of June, from 14.00 to 18.30, it is essential to complete the form for the Saturday morning tour, specifying in the appropriate check box if you prefer the guided or free option. You further have to checkmark if you want to participate in Tour A, B or C.  After the registration you receive your welcome package including maps indicating all possible tours, information about the meeting area’s, cultural points of interest, event decals, event shirts and other stuff.

The two lunches on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th of June are up to you and not included in the package, in order to let you free to organise the motorcycle tours as you like on both days. Please remember drinks are never included - not even at the Castel for the farewell greetings. Having said that we might have a surprise for Saturday late night. The legendary memory photo session of the event will take place Saturday 24th of June in the afternoon, after the ride and before the dinner. Sorry but on Sunday morning most of you guys are still dead from the Saturday night. Thats why we decided to organise it Saturday. There is an additional Photo session for the most amazing Elefant on Sunday at the Castle.

On Saturday 24th of June, at about 21:45, some Cagiva Elefant’s, will receive a prize according to a ranking exposed in the stand area. The event speech and award ceremony will not take place in the dining area but in our private Elefant village at the end of the campsite. Please make sure that you arrive there in time. The bikes together with the owners will be asked to go on stage to receive the prize. Finally we will end the formal part with the award ceremony of the Alex Fischer price and disclose the event location for 2018 (and maybe even 2019). After the formal part there is an open end informal part in the Elefant village with beer, MusikBähr & his Guitar.

On Sunday 25th of June we will close the event with a decent breakfast and some farewell greetings at the beautiful Castle of Larochette.

Remember to keep a civilised and decent behaviour within the campsite Birkelt. Please do not ride the bikes after 22.30 and stay cool!

T-Shirts

We waited as long as possible to give people the chance to order them. They all arrived just in time!

Introduction of the campsite:

Campsite layout

The following drawing gives you a good idea about the campsite layout. Please study it carefully that you know your way around. The Elefant village is far back at the end of the campsite. This was arranged by purpose that we are as much as possible under our own.

Most activities are close to the main entrance or in the Elefant village. One major drawback could be that we expect it to be really hot during the weekend. We love it and our Elefants loves it as well but there is unfortunately now shadow on the place that we reserved for our tents. We expected it to rain. It is very rare that the weather is like the last couple of weeks. Stay patient, drink another beer and enjoy.

Please note hat this plan has changed from the 2nd Newsletter. The entrance is now just for us and you even have a bit of gravel to get there.
