Do we need to pay up beforehand like Surfleet?
Can't be having you out of pocket for months on end Jem
- There is no such word as "can't" -
- 60% of the time it works every time -
No worries on this one Dan, I'm happy for folks to pay when they arrive or at some point during the course of the weekend. I know there's enough support to be able to pay for the hall so i'm fairly chilled out about it .
Besides, even if there's only a few of us it's gonna be a bl**dy good couple of days

The cheapest i found was close to 500 euro, i now found out i can use my Roadservice card (is that RAC in UK ?) to get a 20% discount, plus an additional 5% this month.
Costing me 375 euro. If i don't take a cabin it will be cheaper, but then i will have to entertain myself from 17.30hrs at night until 9 o'clock the next morning, sleeping in the car is forbidden. And i think it's unresponsible to drive after a night without sleep.
Now i also received an offer today to go over again from Dunkirque to Dover with the Ferry.
Costing me 64 Euro's (roundtrip). mmm... 311 euros left to spent on diesel to drive 1000km's, presents for you guys and some nice laserstuff thingamajiggies from my good friend rob aka tha StanWax Master Wiggity Wax. (or maybe some tools for my cnc router thingy).
Ok i will have to drive 750KM, so 1500km max, roundtrip.
Taking the boat to Hull still will require me to drive 400 (200km roundtrip Hull-wakefield, and from my place to the harbour).
The difference is 1100km, costing me 100 euros in Diesel (i get a bad mileage because i always speed.... should try to drive like a normal bloke once in a while).
But i get to see some of the english road, confirm that England has traffic jams too (dartford bridge/tunnel) and can take my stuff ;-)
Unless i get a very good deal, costing me around 200 MAX incl. boat AND cabin i am just going the "usual" route (he said like he drives to the UK weekly ;-)
I really don't mind and maybe if i pickup someone along the route that likes to share costs with me, it's even cheaper ;-) Since the ferry price is 64 euro for 1 car and up to 4 people roundtrip !
I do appreciate your care, but my wallet just isn't cutting it at the moment, and i don't want to miss the Showlem OR the usual LEM.
I wish i was a bit richer and not so handsome ;-)

Hi Jem,
As a footpassenger, with a 2 person hut (meaning you will have to share with unknown person) the price is:

Heenreis: do 30 jun @ 21:00
Hull
Heenreis: zo 03 jul @ 21:00
Hull
Aankomst: vr 01 jul @ 08:00
Rotterdam
Aankomst: ma 04 jul @ 08:15
12h 0m
10h 15m
€ 258,00
Overage informatie:
Accommodatie aan boord / zitplaats van '2 bed hut (Binnen, standaard Class, Stapelbedden) - Van € 127' is gebruikt voor de heenreis bij deze prijsopgave. Accommodatie aan boord / zitplaats
258 euro !
So same price as with the car, but i cannot bring my kit.
If i don't want to bring gear i can better fly to uk, is only 149 or something like that.
If i were to do that, what airfield should i aim for.
Still i think driving is ok. But if i want to change to flying at least i know what airport to take.
I didn't fail !
