I haven't totted up how much i spent but i think it was more than a grand. However i did a lot of track time and for some reason the way i drive meant i was using £75 an hour in fuel! I also drink a lot of beer. I'm sure the trip can be done for a lot less than this though.

I will be staying in London on the thursday. Good opportunity for every one to meet up and get to know each other. We can then all convoy down to the ferry together.

Sounds good! I did see the posts on the first page for costs, apologies for being far too lazy to actually read it before asking. I suppose I'm looking at around a grand, if it's been been earmarked for the weekend, then I won't end up short while away. Sounds like a weekend to enjoy to the full!

Any ideas of whereabouts in London? Like Steve, I want to start getting organised on this one, has anyone got any suggestions for the hotel on Thursday night?

I've not even counted it up and i won't be as the feryy was nearly £800 for the van and trailer alone, nuff said.

I'm more than sure it is very easily avaliable on a tight budget if you plan properly.

I used nearly 200 litres of fuel over the weekend on track only!!

I drunk nearly 200 litres of beer over the weekend on track only!! [/quote]

Strange i thought it was about 300 litres.

Where does the ferry arrive? i might be able to meet you guys there and join the convoi because another mate from west belgium will come with me with his 20vt.

looks like we'll be getting into dunkirk martijn

I'll be going Hull Rotterdam again i think.

where did you lot stay last year? would travelodge be acceptable? any updates? i need to spend something soon to secure the weekend in my mind!!

I stayed at my old mans house and Mike stayed at his sister's.
My Dad lives in Highgate - North London and Mikes sister is only 5 miles from there, so anywhere around Highgate would be a good bet

depending what the others do then, i'll stay with an ex of mine in whitechapel

I reckon I'm going for a Travelodge by the sounds of it then, can't be bothered looking up old aquaintences...

We'll have a chat at the weekend I think I might stop over the night before.

have you seen the prices for 24th june bob???

Hi everyone, I'm Julio from french club, Petep ask me for help you to organize Spa 2010.
Maybe I can transmitt informations on french guys and bring you french inscriptions ?

@Bob > I bring my cards again on Spa 2010

It would be great to see the French again!

Well... I've just subscribed to the SpaItalia - Milano trip that the Belgian club organises. But... we chose NOT to go for the 'Gold' package that includes the SpaItalia event with a gala diner on saturday. Instead, we'll be joining the Club and enjoy some drunk Brits again on the friday and saturday. Included in our order is a package for the Milano stay, which will take us on a 4-night stay in Milan to enjoy the centenary festivities for Alfa.

Oooooh so looking forward to this!

My bird has just finished working in travel, so she was going to have a look and see what deals or whatever she could get.

nice one mate, keep us informed then

showed me £58 now!

Grrr...

don't panic lashes, £48 on norfolk line's site..

Panic over then

quick question - how far is dunkirk from boulogne? i've just been quoted £26 per car for that route from dover....

forget that, it's about 50 miles!!

Worth an ask though

The drive up from Calais to Dunkirk is a PITA, boring and loads of trucks.

W always go via Calais. Only ever had an issue when going back to UK on a Sunday evening, nowadays we always travel mid week

We again plan to stay in the south Holland area from the Tuesday before Spa to the Tuesday after.

Bob

I will book my ferry next week...

so it seems there's going to be mcmike, matt, sedici, feeblebob and myself (hope i've not missed anyone) committed to meeting in london thursday evening 24/6/10 for a sherbert - what i want to know is, where are we meeting and where would you recommend staying? mike, matt - you stay with relatives don't you? where in london will you be based that night?

i'm booking my ferry tomoz, would do it today but am sooooo hung over i can't be arsed...

I'll be staying in Highgate and Mike is only 5 miles from there. There is a pub just at the bottom of my dad's road that does accomodation. It's cheap enough and a decent boozer. And if you have ever seen "saun of the dead" it is the same pub that features in that. Its called the winchester and its on the archway road, A1, highgate, north london. They have a website which comes up on google search. Worth a look!

cheers matt, sounds good to me...

Yeah thats the one. Sorry i couldn't link it but i'm on my mobile.
