Now paid. :thumbsup

a night in the dam - jesus - remember we have a trackday the following morning, followed by a bloody long drive :damnfunny

Party starts on the boat :thumbsup

Speaking of which , just looking at prices. Anyone got any cunning plans for this???

sry for that, I was just being lazy and thought it was just as easy to use the link you posted to buy the trackday.
I'll be visiting Scotland first week of May. That might help to be more an SE person.... :wink: 8) :D

That's me booked for Zandvoort too :-) Neil will co-drive if he hasn't sorted another car by then. So just 'cos you think it looks like my car, don't assume to get the usual polite wave through when you appear in the mirrors :-) Also, if you see the car sideways going around the outside of you on the big hairpin, don't come complaining to me :-)

Cheers,
Robin

Had a quick look at this today, DFDS one way from Newcastle to Ijmuiden is £110-130 depending on cabin share...
Wed ferry, for Fri trackday...trundle down to Macon on the Sat...

Ijmuiden would be very difficult for coming straight back post frolic, very early start to make a Sat ferry after 10 anniv party...nah...otherwise it's another day and hotel.
So back via chunnel for flexible/better times, could be £55 one way (less with tesco vouchers). :thumbsup

Who is designated Benny minder ? Also prob worth taking his bail money before you leave the UK mainland.

Benoir does Amsterdam, the mind on this occasion really boggles as the mischief available. Godspeed.

For the one way ferry Newcastle-Ijmuiden on the Wed we'll need to organise cabin's and one lead for each group to make their booking (you have to book a cabin each if you book individually).

I'm happy to go for 2 berth, an extra £25 each but worth it in my book.

Others?
Scotty, Ape, Robin, Alan G, Hendeg, Uncle Ron, Neil Curr, Shooomer, Kayfur, Dodgy Dave, Benny, Dave Rag_It...


Edited to add:
It might be worth investigating a group booking if we have more than 10, although these seem to be geared up for lots more passengers than vehicles!

Last time we did the crossing the night before the track day we got there 11:00 and that was allowing for Kelvin to be arrested and forced to reattach his number plate :-) Given the week ahead, and given that ZV is moderately tough on the cars, I think arriving 11:00 and getting maybe 4 hours on track will be plenty.

What's a briefing? :-)
