I'm heading back out to the 'ring in May, it's a Green Hell Weekend.

I've done one Euro trip before, I'm yet to go over Stelvio pass though. Looks a good trip

 

I hope people are watching topgear, lake como

 

Yes!

 

Can we go next week???

 

I'm ready, meet say in hr at magor services :-)

Just gotta find a P1 now

 

Husky for me or a Foxhound at a push!

I have a Warrior in Cardiff on the 22nd .

 

Just roll over anyone who doesnt move out of the way is it ?

Wheres that too mate ?

 

I dare say I could struggle along in that Alfa 4C but would it even get as far as Magor before it broke down???

 

Outside the Castle. Free private tours for mates .

Remember this one?




We spent ages listening to Big Daz driving round outside!

 

If i remember, i think i missed this one as i was away.

Cool, i'll have to pop down

 

You could of got the car in the pic though, even when I had a scoob I never got in a good pic lol. Remember that day though fantastic Elliot loved climbing all over the tanks I wanted to drive it lol.

Got an idea for the tour boys I'll post some pic ideas very soon watch this space my eldest is designing as we speak

Nice work Daz, just no names like on the Inbetweeners movie?

 

I'd be up for some of the polo shirts.

 

I like it, i'd be happy with them

 

 

Just abit of an update regarding the costs for the trip :

Hotel cost per person £168 ( based on 2 sharing a room )
Fuel cost per car estimated £740
Ferry cost per car £74

Just need to consider the extra bits below

Breakdown cover
Spending money ( food, drink, tours )

 

Plus if we go on the 'ring we'll need extra insurance plus of course full European coverage as well.

 

Matt,

Don't forget I get a discount on the Ferry Tickets down to £64. Put everyone would have to come to my place and I will order them online.

That's a few beers or 10 litres .

 

I remember you saying you had discount but i couldn't remember what price you had.

Beers.... i'll crash where i land

 

As said I'd prefer to go through the tunnel. Ok it's 36 extra each but you'd save a good 6-8 hours over the two crossing. I've spent to much of life waiting in Que's for ferry. There's a train every 15 minutes and no rushing or waiting either

 

Good shout dan I'm with you on that

 

It gives us a natural break before another long leg, old bones now guys!

 

Look at it this way, you rush to get to the dock, your normally there an 1 -1.5 hours before it sails, and hour and half sailing, then if your unluckly another 30 minutes getting off. if the weather is rough or you arrive too late you have hours to wait for the next one or hang around until the ferry's start running again. times that by two crossing and that's plenty of wasted. Plus How many times have the french farmers/fishmen blockaded the ports??

Tunnel = 4 trains an hour and 25 minute crossing

It's no brainer

 

Dan,

I hear what your saying but the frogs blockade the Chunnel as well as the ferries. The cheapest I can get it down to is £53 each way and that's the red eye late night or the busy tea time slots.

I'll be getting some other options looked at as I want to start booking stuff soon.

 

To everyone who is going on this trip, i would say to make it to the next meet in March, we need to discuss the finer details of the trip and agree on a date to book the ferry and hotels.

 

No problem.

 

I'll chat to Wasbo and see what he is upto.
