Nurburgring Trip - PLEASE LOOK!!!

[J o n]

Afternoon, can people please do me a favour and post up if they have booked the time off work for those dates as we can get the ball moving on this and book the ferry in advance otherwise expect to pay £100 extra peak season for non advanced booking!

So far then:

do we have a price m8?

[Andy]

there is no set price for this holiday

we need to look at hull rotterdam overnight ferry but if that is too exspensive there are other routes ie dover

or even down to dover which will be a trek but id it saves £200.00 im all for it.

the overnight ferryu could be alot from hull because you need to have a room might be cheaper to get a 4 birth and share jesus if your up for that but if the majority cant afford then dover it is especialy at £66.00 return ...

Just had a look at random dates in August, as not sure what date everyone wants, Hull to Rotterdam looking at 286, for me and lee plus one car inc overnight cabin. Works out cheaper if 4 share as price is the same for cabin.

Were as Dover to Calais, 80 quid return.

Both with P & O direct.

Need to work out the extra fuel costs at both ends to see if its worth all the extra driving or not.

So,
100 miles from Manchester to Hull.
280 miles from Manchester to Dover.

Rotterdam to Nuremberg 410 miles
Calais to Nuremberg 504 miles

Works out on average an extra 275 miles by going from Dover- so working on an average of 25 mpg, an extra 11 gallons of fuel, @ £4.50 gallon thereabouts, so an extra £49.50.

Dover crossing
Approx £140 fuel, £80 ferry - £220 total travelling costs

Hull Crossing
Approx £92 fuel costs, £286 ferry - £378 total travelling costs

TBH, I think me and Lee will pay the extra and go from Hull, thats if the dates you guys choose does not coincide with our holiday. So if you lot go Dover, it may be a case of meeting up with you over there.

Dont really fancy such a long drive at both ends and would rather pay the premium to shorten the journey.

Ill be on the Dover Ferry to Calias on August 5th, might see a load of williams' on there

[richy]

[Andy]

We arent just going straight to the nurburg ring,

Dover is £67 return at the moment plus everyone can meet up on route as we go down the M1 and M25.

Me and Jesus are gonna have to take our time as we have our girlfriends in tow and also 2lives may be bringing the family.
