.... courtesy of the latest edition of Tourenfahrer magazine. 470 kms or 300 miles in Christian units, so a good day out or gentle bimble for two days. The eagle eyed amongst you will have spotted that it misses out a chunk of the B500. This is is great news as so many correspondents to this site say that it’s shite... or that is what their mate says or it’s what they have heard. But hey, make your own mind up.
The full details are on the free (every fecker likes free and no effort) Tourenfahrer website:

“How do we do it, mate?” Easy...
Click on the route circled....
This will open up....
Look at it (if you can’t read ‘foreign’) in slack jawed wonder. Zoom in and out on the Open Street Map or whatever it is.
Then look at the pictures. Everyone likes pictures:
Click on a picture and, as if by magic, it will get bigger....
Scroll down a bit and you’ll see that for a couple of euro you can download the route in a bikermate friendly gpx file format:
Which is great if you can’t be arsed to create it yourself from the map that we talked about earlier. The really tight (and there are some amongst us) will begrudge the couple of euro and that they have been told all about this wonderful route for free or as part of their modest £12 subscription (if they can be arsed to pay it that is, or they’ll just continue with their leech like habits) so will have to put up with the map and make a bit of effort.
Anyway, enough of all that. Tourenfahrer, along with its sister magazines, are great sources of easy to use free(ish) help. Try them and build your own databank of great ideas; it’ll save you typing “Me and my 12 mates we is off to the Forest and we is needing routes and stuff for us holiday in the Forest....”. It won’t of course but at least I tried.
