Shortcut
Pamplona, Spain - Running of the Bulls
Anyone up for a trip like this? (I can do whatever the hell I want now, always wanted to do this)

July 5th: Depart Philadelphia to Pamplona Spain, arrive + 1 day on Sunday
July 7th: Running of the Bulls 8:00 am. No registration, just need to be on the street prior to 6:30.
July 8th: Travel day by car or rail
July 9th - 11th: Lauterbrunnen Switzerland
July 12th: am jumps, pm drive to Munich
July 13th: Depart Munich to Philadelphia

Of course the departure point could be any city. Having a hard time convincing any non-jumpers to go, figured there's gotta be someone on here other than me that's always wanted to try this. I could be convinced to extend the trip to take more time in Switz, or make a trip to ITW, but that would be no-pay time vs. vacation time for me, which is fine.

Not such a bright move.

For sure the bulls will hit you as a slow american Wink and you will be no more in condition to jump in LB or ITW.

Ran with the bulls in 1999 during a BASE trip across Europe... We had a great time!! Make sure you can run fast and for God's sake, don't fall down!! Make sure you make it into Hemingway arena before the last bull gets in, otherwise you will have a hard time getting down onto the field for the release of the 'baby bulls' PirateShocked
Items needed... , rolled up newspaper and a red bandana Laugh

Hah, and I thought I was the crazy one for wanting to do this. It's been on the top of my things to do before I die list for years, and I just don't know why. I think the thing that makes it attractive to me is that everyone I've ever mentioned it to looks at me like it's the most dumb and pointless thing they've ever heard of...
