Default SES Ring trip 2009

Having recently read that the ring is 4 hours from Calais (thought it was further), I realised it's actually quicker to get to 'The Ring' thnit is my parents house.

Hence this a spurred me on to costing up a ring trip.

The Ring is not open to the public all the time - it's used for all sorts of other things, like manufacturer test sessions, training schools, private hire days, etc. Indeed, the Ring is generally only open to the public on weekday evenings, a handful of weekends and the odd half-day here and there.

So bearing this in mind and also that the 2009 calendar is yet to be published.
I thought sometime like May 09 would be good.

That way a weekday trip with evening outings around the ring will have ample daylight.

Example Costs to get over to Calais are £112 retrun via EuroTunnel on May 13th returning May 16th (these are provisional dates and purley used to get prices).

A Hotel close to or at 'The Ring' is about €45 (single room) or €75 (Twin Room) per night.

Ring Costs are :
2008 Price in Euros Sterling equiv Sterling per lap
Single lap €21
4-lap ticket €70
8-lap ticket €135
15-lap ticket €235
