Superbly written mate. I loved:

I really wanted to make a video of going down it but like many things in Germany, using a camera on the rollercoaster was verboten. Luckily for you lot I didn't give two fucks and whipped the Gopro out of my pocket as soon as I was rolling. It was brilliant! Great fun! I had three runs all together! The wee sledge thingy has brakes but you don't need them. I tried to go as fast as I could on my second and third shot but kept catching folk up. Everywhere that has a chairlift should have one of these things.


Laughing I really need to take advantage of the fact I now live in Belgium and get riding over to Luxembourg & Germany.

Aye! The very one. We've seen a few bike clubs meet there over the years. I've been drinking there regularly since I was sixteen. Great place!

I lived along the road at Samuelston for a good four years and never been in that pub once. I keep saying I will go but moved further to the coast now. Ill have a good read of your blag later as I am looking to go to the Black Forest for a few days next year. Might be the car though, we will see.

If you go to the Black Forest then pay a visit to Todtnau, that roller coaster thing in the video is great fun. Good currywurst at the top of the chairlift too.

That the six minute one? Just been looking on youtube at that. Looks great. Might be tight for time as I only have a couple of days and want to get over to Riquewihr in France for a day. Looking to spent the night in a camp side around Lörrach then head back north again up the 500. Looking to shuffle a few things about to give us an extra few days so with a bit of luck me and that roller coaster will be at one. Another one a want a shot of is further north/east. Skip this to about 3.20
