Nurburgring 16-19th September
Posted: Fri Jul 01, 2005 11:10 am
All,
I’m off to the Nurburgring with some friends in assorted vehicles from the 16th to 19th of September. If anyone is interested feel free to book up and let me know.
I personally haven’t booked accommodation yet as I’m wating to see who’s coming but suggest everyone that is interested books sepeartely.
Ferry Details are
OUTBOUND CROSSING £37.00
Operator: P&O FERRIES.
Route: Dover-Calais
Date: 160905 Time: 09:05
RETURN CROSSING £37.00
Operator: P&O FERRIES.
Route: Calais-Dover
Date: 190905 Time: 16:20
Total Cost £74.00
It's a marginally earlier departure than usual because the track is open all Saturday afternoon and the last time we got there about half an hour before it shut. I bought the ticket through ferrysavers.com - it's about eight quid cheaper than doing it with P&O direct, though their site is a little bit fiddly. If you do book through ferrysavers, watch out - the final "read our terms and conditions" screen has a "do not send me junk mail" checkbox right at the very bottom, where you might otherwise miss it. My confirmation mail is attached in case I missed something.
Accommodation: I phoned Blau Ecke but they are fully booked (!), so I will be booking at Zur Burg instead, at the suggestion of Fred de Dutchyon de Lefthandside. They have a nice website in English (http://www.nuerburgring-hotel.de/uk/) and are delighted to take a booking via email. EUR70pn for a double room. If they fill up there are plenty other places around Nürburg - Ben's site has a list (http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/where_to_stay.html).
If we get the same ferry, we can convoy a bit... might be worth trying to sort out walkie talkies or something, to alleviate the E40 Ennui.
