jimbo-ep91 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Only jus see that link trouble with that is you can't really wander off on your own or anything where as jelly baby said wee jus drive around and camp at the aide of the road, all part of the fun... Then do a few days at the ring as there's plenty to see there too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jhandy Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I'm down but would need to sort out prices before end of Oct so people know how much they need to save.@jellybaby I will give you hand. Just tell us what you want doing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I think if we have our own supoort van and we are camping we can all work out rougg van fuel cost plus camping cost, euroststar/ferry and split that umong how ever many go and it will be cheaper than thier package deal?

jimbo-ep91 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) If it gives you all a rough idea...ferry £100/ train £100+ Petrol... £200+Camping fees for the week £8 0Food and drink £200Duty free tabbaco and drink in Belgium- priceless hahaI think a good trip would probs cost around £800-£1000 for a good week and no real worrys. The boat prices was based on going at 9.25am on the 7th June 2013, and returning on the 14th June 2013 @ 17.55. I didn't look into the euro tunnel, but will be quite a lot dearer, also there not the dates there just the ones I used to give people an idea Edited October 9, 2012 by jimbo-ep91 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimbo-ep91 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thats better already as if theres two per car its 500each and the organised is 450 befor food n fuel lolthat's what I like to hear lol,all you do for them is put 400 quid into the blokes pocket for walking round with ya and giving him a holiday too, like I say its jus a rough idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jhandy Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 It seems a fair price to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 when i went end of august, it cost me about £450 some things were shared tho, E= eurosferry there euro back £65 (shared between 2)fuel based on an ep3 averaging 30-35mpg tops, just over 1000 miles, total cost £250 but split 3 wayslaps around the ring are about E25 eachhotel 4 nights B and B E180food and drink all eating out is, for very good food E15-20 for a steak and a couple of beers, pizza is cheaper! we had a bbq one night for 10 of us, chipped in E5 each and had waaaay more food than we could eat!a 5L keg is £10 and they have a very good recycling service, you buy crates of bottled beer (20 pints i think for E12-15) then when you finish them u take the whole lot back and get about E3-4 off your next purchase so total based on 2 sharing its about £450-500 for 4 nights B and B with track time, ferry, fuel, food, drink etc! so if you were to camp out then you could save a good £90 id say, imo its a cheaper holiday than going on a clubbing holiday Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jellybaby Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) prob best bet for everyone to meet is at thurock services just before the bridge on the day we travel as nice big area and aslo can get food etc before we set offob as we going in a convoy etc we try stick together best we can on the roads the od blast every now and then wont hurt long as we slow down and wait for the others lolalso i recomend a sat nav with europe maps also we be a magnet for the police out there so watch out for speed traps etci meeting jimbo this sat he taking the drive to mine so we can start sorting out route etc and camp sites etceveryone i am happy with any of u to help out as well for say if the people near the middlands want to sort there trip down to the meet thats fine with me long as i informed lol so i no whats going on.with the people over in europe already then we have to find a place central for all of us to meet the all convoy up the the ringi reckon this will be a 4-5 day trip that way we not to rushed to get bk to the ferry etc and can have a good look around for some nice driving roads.i going to speck to josh to see if we can get some spec hodies made for the trip and stickers. also if u daring enough might sort out a prize if we go fancy dressed hahahah Edited October 10, 2012 by jellybaby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
