Last time I was at Spa I stayed at a hunting lodge 10 min from the circuit.

Rooms were basic (think youth hostel) but the people were great and good bar, good breakfast, and hot showers...it was about 35 euro's! Let me know if anyone wants the details.

I havn't booked anything for this trip yet but planning to stay at Burgstube for the ring, doing the Friday TF two hours if weather ok and decide about the TD on the day.

Taking the Frog although the vhpd has already been in pieces on my garage floor - hgf :roll:

Oh no. You probably won't fix it in time. Why not sell me your place? (Was the sympathy believable?)

Glad to hear you got the car fixed Frank. At least it let go here, and not just as you arrived at the ring / spa.

I've emailed Golding about this as he had a deal rate last time - I think it was 100 euros for a single and 115 for a twin/double. Booking online's showing 126 euros single and 142 twin/double at the moment. Will report back when I hear back from him.

Is it just the one night people are staying at the Burgstube or 2 with an early morning blat over to Spa? Admittedly the last time that one was tried ended in carnage...

Makes sense. I'll be taking the Newcastle ferry on the way out. Possibly going back via Norfolk though so looking at Hook of Holland to Harwich as an option.

Just emailed the Hotel de la Source and we can get a deal - 100 euros single or 115 euros twin. If booking you just quote LOTUS.

I am not booked on at the ring, but was planning some pax laps, or car share action.

I didnt plan on getting there till lunchtime, straight off the ferry, anyone else planning the same?

I was also going to go with Neil after Spa, and have a trip round the factory.

Cheers

I've now booked Hotel de la Source for myself and Stu. Booked the Monday and Tuesday nights at the moment but can always change it later.
To book at the deal rate email reservations@hotel-de-la-source.com quoting LOTUS

The last time I checked the ferry, it was working out quite good booking a 3 bed suite, not to much more, but looked a lot better :thumbsup

I will check tonight if I get a chance.
