Hey All
We’re back! Had a fantastic time in Southern Germany last week, visiting the inlaws and soaking up the atmosphere that the annual ‘Faschnacht’ Carnival creates throughout the whole of the Black Forest region at this time of year. ‘Crossing The Tracks’ even managed to take part in the parade!…sort of….check out the pics below.
Our new series of ‘McLaren Teamtalk’ is going really well, this week we report from the Barcalona test, where the team got a lot more than they bargained for…very best wishes to Fernando Alonso for a speedy recovery from his nasty crash on Sunday. The work goes on as the start of the season draws closer…

Crossing The Tracks with Kieran Cooke 23/02/15 by C00kie on Mixcloud
Crossing The Tracks, German style!
Fun for all ages!
Dozens of different costumes and masks, most of the designs haven’t changed in 500 years!
Radio Woking in Europe! Cousin Jurgen wore his ‘Crossing The Tracks’ T shirt during this year’s parade!
‘We have liftoff!’ One of the more adventurous floats, which went through a full ‘liftoff’ sequence, spouting fire before levelling out to fit under the bunting over the road!
The colourful jesters are mostly girls, while the ‘Hexen’ (witches) are mostly men or boys. Be careful, they are very mischevious, and love having their photo’s taken!
Jurgen leads the Gengenbach band
Going Home…the Carnival carried on at Stuttgart Airport!
