So,

Just so I definitely have this right.... FF09 takes us up to and including the Friday night.

Then you're all heading for the ring on Saturday. Is the plan to spend some time on the ring on Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday, before heading home on the Monday then??? What are the rough costs for the ring??

Doubt I can get the time off work, but you never know... :roll:

Cheers!

Dave.

Dave

AndyA and I are not going to the 'Ring and will be driving back up through France and taking the tunnel at some point on the Sunday. It is our intention to make a stop 2-3 hours into England, before driving home on the Monday. Looking at it now, it may well be possible just to blat straight up the road on the Sunday.

FF9 :shock: ......planning ahead :lol: You can also stay Saturday night at the same hotel if you wish.

Think a few people will be heading up the road Saturday as Stewart said. But if you are going to the Ring then yes hopefully a play Sat afternnoon and all day Sunday :D , Home Monday, well for me anyway.

Rough cost;
2 nights digs - 90 euro
Ring laps -

food & drink - ?
fuel - ?

Not bad value for money, £1/min for you... :wink: :lol:

It is actually a fair bit more with the exchange rate.

Did you speak to Martin, Dave? Sure he could squeeze in one more, does he know you are with the other 9 guests??

It's looking like the Dover ferry for us (Team Paine) on Sunday morning. Not sure about everyone else though... :? Geordie express is out because it's too pricey, and the train's looking the same.
