Provisonally I am thinking about heading over the same day as Andy, Uncle Ron, Greg etc so straight to Zandvoort from the Ferry on the Friday. After the TD head back to Amsterdam to catch up with a mate and head out for a few :cheers

Then a leisurely drive down on Saturday to meet up at the hotel with the rest of the Frolicers on the Sunday.

My Mrs might fly in on the Tuesday and stay for the week but not 100% sure that will happen!

Cant see me getting up at 5am after the 10 year party to head to Amsterdam so if my Mrs is over we will probably head north for a few days then aim to get the Geordie Express back on the Tuesday/Wednesday

Really looking forward to it now - only 147 more sleeps :D

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Jen (Alan's OH), Nicola (Ali's OH) and Pauline (my OH) have also mentioned the flying out for part of it. Pauline will probably decide last-minute because she's not sure where she'll be at with her currect project.

It's too many! ... but the anticipation is often the best part.

Cheers - Ali had mentioned Nicola was probably flying out on the Tuesday so Sophie (my OH) and Nicky (Dave Hays OH) are also looking into this :thumbsup

Well that's me booked up for Zandvoort :D

Am up for a night in the dam been a while, Anybody looking at sharing a cabin before I book the ferry next week?

I think the plan to head to Zandvoort straight from the ferry is the best plan, not sure/fussed about being back on the sat or sun ferry. Have the Monday booked off work anyway.

Well looking forward to this.

Tempted to share with you Corbie, if you dont mind. What is the cost?

Would be easier for me to fly but might be cheaper if I go on Geordie express! :thumbsup

Shame. There will be lots of room in the rangie. You might even have to drive the 211?
