Windymiller Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Eurotunnel prices: April wknds - £64 rtn (NB - that’s a Friday dept from Folkestone between 0700-0800 & a Monday dept from Calais between 15:00-1600) June wknds - £61 rtn (same timings) Obviously I can play around with timings but I thought the outbound would give us plenty of time to get to the ring on the Friday at a relaxed pace, maybe even visit the museum and check in to accom and have some dinner etc. And Monday dept time should give us plenty of slack for a sensible wake up and another relaxed drive to Calais. I think i’d plan to drive to Folkestone on the Thursday night and find a cheap premier inn type hotel just for that night, to avoid any possible M25 delays on the Friday morning. Ive emailed the RingHaus hotel for room availability and prices for April and June (Foos gig noted Nick ??). Of of course I’ll look on the likes of trivago etc too.

Windymiller Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) Ringhaus has replied, they appear to have availability of single rooms, twin rooms and double rooms on the following wknds: April 20-23 April 27-30 June 8-11 Single = €45 Twin = €85 Double = €95 all B & B. Personally I’d like the April 27-30, or the June 8-11 weekends (June possibly best in case I ‘bend’ the car at Oulton Park in March!) If there are serious takers for this then let’s have a ‘show of hands’ for preferred dates (27-30 Apr / 8-11 Jun). Then we we can work out who books what etc en masse so we end up on the same Euro crossing and in the same digs. ??????

Nail it Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Just been reminded that off to Le mans in june, so if you do go then miss Sunday 17th and monday 18th as the crossing will be shocking, also people start going on the tuesday before but wednesday is normally the worse day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wknd of 15-18 June is not an open ‘tourist drives’ wknd on the Nordschleife so not a goer anyway. For me its it’s one of the 2 wknds of 27-30 April or 8-11 June, pending Munch197 and Nicks responses. Are you off to Le Mans then? In a group or solo?

Nail it Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Yes going to Le mans again all booked in at Porsche on the curves Great few days away and one of the best car related things I have ever done and I have done a few different things over 33 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame, the Lycian Events PCGB trip to Porsche curves look great. And ive been reminded of a family event 27/04. So my 2 options are: 20-23 April 8-11 June its all gone quiet on here, so I’ll leave it a couple of weeks for any takers and if none, then I’m booking a mono-crossing and digs for ‘Billy no mates’ me ? ????

Nail it Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 What with going to LeMans a few days after the June dates you have mentioned then as you may guess I wouldn't be able to make a second long weekend away in the same month, to much to try and sort out with work ECT.

Mmmmh, perhaps July 6-9? ? But that’s 6 months away, and I need to drive the (wheel) nuts off the ‘snow queen’ sooner than that.... ?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail it Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Would rather go early in the year as things get busy as we get into summer more, but it also depends on weather as the ring can have a lot of snow and April can be very hit and miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joff Gas Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) I’d be interested in a blast to the Ring and the Blackforest , went a couple of years back the N500 road through the Black Forest is an amazing piece of tarmac .

Keith W Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Would be up for this for long weekend or a week. Have crossed the Alps many times on bikes and in cars and there is a particular pass that has something like 600 bends in 12k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Keith, it all went quiet on this and I’ve satiated my appetite to some extent with a couple of trackdays through the spring and a couple more booked for the summer. Perhaps lll resurrect this thread later in the year with a view to early scheduling a euro trip with interested folks for late spring / summer 2019 ? ??????
