Motoscape Rally 2017 – Day 3 Garmisch Partenkirchen

Some sore heads were nursed over coffee at breakfast by Motoscapers after a fun night at the wine festival in Winningen on Sunday night! The firework display as usual did not fail to impress either. 
Motoscapers set off on the longest driving day of the week.

Motoscape Rally 2017 – Day 1 St Omer

Well what a start to Motoscape 2017! As the teams started to arrive during Saturday afternoon, we had brilliant sunshine: sun creams, shorts and sunglasses all required, but then from nowhere a dark cloud, rumble of thunder and torrential downpour of rain arrived. Did we say torrential? Yes we did and yes it was!! The Motoscape Organisers, Peter, Anna & Kevin with the help from some of the teams, grabbed everything from outside and dashed under cover but alas we were already drenched!

Thursday morning we bid farewell to Venice Motoscapers and also passed well wishes to Dudley and Josh from Viking Warriors who decided they could not push on to Prague as unfortunately their funds had run too low.
