Make sure you have European road side assistance then

[Branners]

Costs are working out to around £245, that covers the Eurotunnel and the hotel with twin/double room including breakfast for 2 nights.

 

Buffet is extra at £16 per person per night.

 

So, 2 people sharing a twin room and having buffet for the 2 nights would be... £245+£64 (£16x4) = £309

 

1 person in a twin or double room with buffet 2 nights would be...£245+£32 = £277

 

On top of that you would need to cover your fuel (its about 600 miles so allow 3 tank fulls), your beer (its 2 nights so allow 2 skinfulls) and your lunches.

 

Those costs are not final, but give you an idea.

Roughly an hours drive, 47 miles.

 

[Fitz]

What a rip off!!!

 

If I were you lot I wouldn't be rushing to buy tickets at that price when they go on sale

I know, wait a few days and the prices will drop trust me

Yeah. No doubt someone will blow their car up or something and be selling a ticket cheap nearer the time...

I think we'll be fine driving those routes in Amsterdam. Most tourists take the public transport or tourbusses anyway, most of the traffic will be situated around Amsterdam Central Station but it's nothing like the Brussels traffic especially not on a saturday.

[Branners]

I think it would certainly get a load of attention, and we get to play in the 2 tunnels. I will see if I can work it in to the routes without losing too much time.

[Abz]

Good job my mate went for another pee and we lost the group and missed all the traffic!!

 

Is their a certainly time it is quite empty on the Sat traffic wise? Last DB me & Phil (Huy) went into Brussels town centre late in the evening. The cars got SO MUCH attention. Loads of people taking pictures, few cheers & a lot of smiles.

[Guest Budz86]

To be fair, the Belgiumese loved it! Loads of attention when we pulled up at the beach too....although that might have been France! I was watching the oil level, not the road signs....

[SPG]

Hope to finally make this event, and meet a lot of you guys in the process

[Pete]

Call me hopeful...but I've booked the Premier Inn for the Thursday £35
