• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Quick introducton :)

I know exactly how that feels. After our ride around Croatia (1 week) and Slovenia (1 week), we went up to Vienna for a couple of nights. The plan from there was that Carolyn would fly home and I would get the overnight Motorail to Düsseldorf and then have a short-ish ride back the next day ready for work the day after. I dropped Carolyn at the train station (for the airport connection) around lunchtime and then pottered around in Vienna for the afternoon while waiting for the 8pm train. I got to the train station to be told Angela Merkel had shut the German border due to the migrant crisis and all trains were cancelled.

As a result, I had to ride all the way home from Vienna (and was late back to work as there was no way I was doing Vienna to Gloucestershire in a day). You really get to realise how big Austria & Germany are when you ride a motorbike across both of them in a day (if memory serves, I stopped overnight in the Netherlands). It wasn't helped by the 30 mile stationary tailback for the German border, but at least the Austrians make a nice big gap in between lanes for emergency vehicles (and my motorbike!).
