Need to allow half hour for that mate.
Chris if you come to me about 05.30 then over to meet Steve and Laura at 05.45, Will get us to J11 about 06.30.

Just so I have this straight...its 68 euros per room and not per person?

ie for 3 nights 204 euros between me and my mate

and extra for the brekkie or is that included?

I'm just trying to work out how many euros to get this week! I'm thinking 400 should cover it

Hi, yes its per room, breakie included,i would allow about 20 to 25 quid for eve meal at hotel.
Bloody great price when you see how nice the rooms and hotel is, even got nice garages to lock your car in over night if you pre book them.

I always go on about 100 euros per day plus hotel so about 500 euros should do it.

The cost is:
68 euros per night, per room.
This includes a twin beded room & breakfast for two.

The only extra costs in the hotel will be the evening meals and anything you drink.
Tap water is free.

With regards to money I am taking £550 worth of euros.
Its better to take some back home than run out this will include petrol.

How does that sound.

According to the AA route planner its 13miles and takes 19 minutes.
http://www.theaa.com/route-planner/i...31935%7C140769

The information I have used has come from the webs sites and personal local knowledge dont forget this includes a TUNNEL RUN.

I thought 15 Mins to the port was very optimistic too.

I would ideally like to be there, fuelled up and ready to pull away from the services by 6.50am so I am aiming to get there for 6.30, get fuel and have a quick pee if needed, get a stretch and back in for the get go.

I would recommend that we are earlier rather than later, as we have already been warned of loads of other clubs that are coming on that very ferry, and it would be better if we stayed together as much as possible.

Technically speaking you should have on before you leave the ferry.

Last year most of us put them whilst in the queue to get on the ferry.

Oil & filter change Tyres are ok wont be on the way back though. Exhaust gasket gone on the back box so just the normal last minuet stuff.

hey guys, hope you're all starting to get excited

really looking forward to heading up to the ring, currently in Trier but leaving here tomorrow to head up to the Rhein valley for a couple of days. Weathers been fooking baking for the last couple of days (27-30c) but i guess its been hot back in blighty too? Cooling down a bit now - having a very cool thunderstorm at the moment!

See you all Friday afternoon!
