LOL, thats actually a good point!

Tried to ring you earlier, but it was about 8 before i got through passport control. Ill be there tomorrow about 12

So ferry is £60 how much have you all put aside for food, fuel, camping etc,...

f**k going through this thread lol!

Rhys Beal · Apr 29, 2012

I have budgeted for around £500 but that was including a hotel so should come in under that now as we are camping which as we spoke about earlier is around £35 for 3 nights. Food will be cheap as we are cooking ourselves on bbq and stove.

Fuel getting there and back will cost me no more than £200

DannyR · Apr 29, 2012

What's the rough mileage we will be doing? I can get 200 miles decent driving on tank.

Doesn't seem too expensive, unsure if I'd want to take my car round though! My luck I'd end up breaking down and ending up with a massive fine!

Rhys Beal · Apr 29, 2012

It will be fine. I am not driving balls out as it's the Nurburgring! Snetterton is different

From my house to the circuit is 450 miles so maybe 20 more for you

DannyR · Apr 29, 2012

Could do 3 tanks of fuel then I reckon so that's £210!

Reckon could do it for £400.

Rhys Beal · Apr 29, 2012

I reckon your not far wrong there

Tempted? I say this as you will need to book the ferry fairly promptly so we can all be about a similar time

DannyR · Apr 29, 2012

I am yes, do you have a rough itinerary?

I'm very OCD on organisation lol!

Rhys Beal · Apr 29, 2012

I think Dan does yes. We are going from Dover to Dunkirk on the 6am ferry 25th May. I think its DFDS but Dan could tell you more as he did the booking. I don't think they are any spaces left but don't worry as I am sure that even if you got a different ferry for a slightly different time it wouldn't matter and we could just wait in France for you, or vice versa. (Scott wants to stock up my car with alcohol anyway

DannyR · Apr 29, 2012

Cheers Rhys, I'll have a look at other times. I'm sure they'll be cancellations and rebookings too so I could get on with you!

Rhys Beal · Apr 29, 2012

I would like to think so too! Speak with Dan tomorrow and he will be abit more useful than me. I am off to my love pit now so will speak soon and hopefully sort it all out for you

DannyR · Apr 29, 2012

What date/time is return ferry as I'm getting prices of £40 for Friday at 6 and Monday any time? Lol!

dmallett · Apr 30, 2012

We got it slightly cheaper as group booking, I can happily ring and try get you in with us. 6pm leaving on friday 4pm on return. DFDS seaways.

DannyR · Apr 30, 2012

Convinced a friend to come but he wants a hotel lol!

All booked aren't they?

Missus doesn't mind either so if car behaves over next three weeks I'm in!

Woohooo

Is it Quinton coming with you?

dmallett · Apr 30, 2012

Good luck getting a hotel, i have over 50emails turning us down

DannyR · Apr 30, 2012

I told him all full.

Quinton didnt want to come, if splitting costs with a passenger it works out at about £250/300 each which is a bargain.

Friend is now wanting to come in his Civic Type R so still need a passenger!

dmallett · Apr 30, 2012

Ahh fair enough, the more the merrier!

I agree, having a passenger makes it cheap!

LewisTaylor · Apr 30, 2012

I'm letting my passenger come FOC, or i'd be on my own lol.

incy-spider · Apr 30, 2012

Ah the beauty of having a German speaking mate who can talk to B&Bs not 5mins from the track :rasp:

dmallett · Apr 30, 2012

I sent emails to over 50 hotels, with it written in german and english. I was a long process with no result

DannyR · Apr 30, 2012

I'm on a tight budget so trying to split it! Was counting on Quinton saying yes TBH

incy-spider · Apr 30, 2012

We have a guy who we go to year after year, He is called willy and he is gay but what a place! Up above the ring surrounded by trees, rolling landscape and the howl of porches and BMWs in the distance!! Rubbery

Ol’ Tarby · Apr 30, 2012

I struggled getting a hotel, in fact, I couldn't get one near the ring entrance. So we settled for one which was around 7 miles away I think it is, and it's a lot cheaper than what I was lookin at spending for one near by. Have a look on booking.com see what's available upto 10 mile away. I know it's probably further than most would want to stay,but all the roads around the area are mint, so makes for a good drive to the track entrance
