At this present moment in time we will all need to arrange our own travel and accomodation. I will probably be leaving the UK on the thursday night, but this is yet to be confirmed (last time we left on a friday at 6pm, and drove all the way and made it to nurburg about 6am saturday morning - there was no traffic at all.)

Bump to remind people.

Everyone else, have you looked into Hotel booking yet?

[Bobfish]

Ok, i propose we leave on Thursday the 14th catching the eurostar from folkestone at 14:00 approx UK time, returning on Monday the 18th to be back in the UK by 20:30 approx UK Time.

Train comes to about £110 for that. Further costs to be considered are hotel (approx 80 euros a night for a double room, so about £23 a night each) and then petrol (its 800 miles round trip from calais to nurburg and back again)

So you are looking at a TOTAL cost of below (adjust if sharing between peeps)

£110 train
£200 hotel costs
800 miles fuel costs + ring fuel
£12 a lap of the ring
£20 a day food costs

Obviously itd be good to all be on the same train on the way there and the way back. We had a NIGHTMARE with this last time with 3 cars, so i think the best thing will be for one person to co-ordinate it if possible. I do not mind doing this, but i will need at least everyones name, address and telephone number who is coming to do this. ( i will book on your behalf and then im sure you can probably pay them by calling in with a booking refernece i will get for you)

[AtomicRex]

If you want me to help on this I can.  I used to run days over to the ring...so I can get this sort of thing quite cheap.

The Ring is 299 miles from the Port of Calais to Nurburg.
I can get the ferry for about £80-100 depending on when we go over (peak/off peak)
I can also get accommodation for approx €30 per night.

Would need money up front and then I\'m happy to book...I do recommend everyone takes out RAC 5* recovery (not AA they will refuse to take you off the ring!)

The only reason I ask for money up front is having been let down from oh so keen people then never deliver the goods....I will always pay for a room Ive booked regardless of whether its slept in....and Ive been burnt before!

I also have a map on how to get there with all of the mile markers of where all of the roads turn etc

[AtomicRex]

oooo meant to say I catch the ferry as although its cheaper....having just driven 150 miles its a nice break before going another 300...plus its a good place to meet everyone

[antnicuk]

I thought the RAC wernt allowed to remove anyone from the ring either?, i thought it was only their own recognised recovery people?

[Bobfish]

sod the ferry, train all the way, it only takes 30 minutes plus alot of people get sea sick!


howeever, regarding accomodation we may need help. Im sitting down with my friends this week one evening and sorting out EXACTLY who is coming; and we may then go ahead and book the train.

Atomic rex, i kno what your saying about the break - but if it means that much we can always sit down for an hour at the port calais side, we should be in france by 1pm with the current plan so that still leaves us plenty of time to drive to the ring and have breaks along the way...

I know for a FACT that we will NOT be getting the ferry (sorry atomic rex) as as i say, some of my friends get VERY sea sick.

Therefore, anybody who is going to be coming - are you happy getting the train? It will be between 100-120 quid. You can drive a rex on and off no problems at all, no worries with that. Ferries however can pose a bit of a problem due to the on ramp.

What do you think rex? And can you PM Me about this accomodation with info if you have it because we need to get it booked before everywhere is fully booked!

Cheers

Bob

[RobbieRX-7]

I would prefer to catch the train if it only takes 30mins. I would like more info on the accommodation atomic rex. Any chance you could pm me and i would be happy to pay up front.

Bobfish i will pm you my details for the booking of the train. There will be me and a mates car.

[AtomicRex]

Ive just Pm\'d Bobfish....If people want to PM or email me with what they want in terms of Accommodation I will organise it this week.

To be honest I am towing so catching the Ferry is a necessary thing!

I can provide
Single
