Quidellbacher Höhe, a little bit at Metzgesfeld and at Brünnchen. They're also changing some old kurbing halfway down Fuchsröhre, and paving the Adenauer Forst run-off area. The problem is that they've taken off the old tarmac but it's been too bloody cold to resurface it ever since.

Havent spoken to Karl about it but I know its the case.........

I'm going out on the 20th, was supposed to be watching the VLN and driving the track on Sunday, before leaving the car there and flying home. The chances of the track being open are looking ever increasingly slim though. I'm sure Karl will be along soon enough to give an update.

I will still be coming over though Karl ...... even if its to walk / sled the track.

Sorry chaps/chapesses & Gary, but I don't think it's going to happen. The problem is that they still have at least 4 days of work left to do with the resurfacing and for that they need a ground temperature of +8°c. It's been about -10°c for the last few weeks and a covering of about 15-20cm of snow on the track. It's -5°c at the moment and snowing lightly, I think it'll be a miracle if it's open for the easter weekend. I'll keep you updated as the weather over here does have a habit of suprising us.

Don't think me and my son will be coming either , I am trying to get in touch with Nevetas and co to let them know also. Will just sit and watch John Felsteds vidio with my Peltors helmets on. Gary, Karl thanks for keeping me / us updated on the weather hope to see you all in April.

Guys, it's 0C here today. We have had some Light Snow.

Forecast says things we get better Monday, hopefully seing 3C then 6C by Sunday.

But that will probably be wrong!

cwt the snow will probably be gone by then, but I doubt the track will be open, as they still have to repair it. Best have a rethink
