The run down to Adenau is just brilliant once you know it, and 105kph through Foxhole is quite a feeling!
Gutted I can't make this. That's going to be awesome.

I've been told that I should do it by the missus, so i'll ink my name over the pencil. I'm tempted by a solo effort, but will have to see how well winter training goes before deciding.
Good lady you've got there! Excellent news smile Big respect to you for considering the solo option. But if anyone can...

Quick question though: I'm filling the two places in the teams I've already paid for on first come first served. Just so I know where I stand in offering them to people, which way would you like to play it? Do you want to buy into the team for now to lock in your place, and if you do decide to go for the solo effort then offer the team place back up? Or register yourself solo/leave the decision until later, and if you decide not to solo then join the waiting list on here for team n?

And one more definite now (useget), so that's one space remaining in the current teams.

Once that's gone, as I say, we'll maintain a waiting list on this thread and whenever there's enough on it for another team we can register another, subject to event spaces still being available.

Good news, everyone. Looks like entry is going to work out a bit cheaper: £75 each. smile

Also we're organising ourselves into car shares (for those that want to) to cut the travel cost each. Incidentally, the tunnel is currently around £115 return per car but people should book it soon, it *will* go up.

If people wanted to go 4 in a car, it should be possible to get across the channel and drive there and back for not much over £50 each. Two per car might be more practical though, but people can decide what suits them best.

^^ also, Pablo's figures are if you *don't* car share. Don't forget to divide the petrol and fuel by however many are in the car smile

2 in car:
Tunnel £60
Fuel £50

4 in car:
Tunnel £30
Fuel £25

Then again, the N-ring isn't exactly known for its money-making prowess... wink

Awesome event, would love to do it but I already know the answer to my pass request!

Six Pot, did you get my message?
I'm working towards it but as I'm getting married a month after the event I will need to keep the costs down as much as possible. If there is a space in a 4/3 person car that I can take I'm in, just let me know what I need to do to secure the space.

Sure did, sent you a reply as soon as I got it. Maybe the email on your profile isn't current any more (It's xxxxx@hotmail.com). Or it was a problem my end. Either way, it explains wht I didn't get a repsonse. I was starting to wonder if it was something I'd said! biggrin

Anyway, got you a place lined up in a car from Chelmsford (you're Ipswich IIRC?) at the mo' , but there's only two of you in it so far. They are other options though, so we should be able to work out something to suit.

I can definitely receive your mails, so send me one quoting your email and I'll resend the mail directly to that, and also give you the payment details for the £75. If you also include your mobile number we'll get you added to our Rad chat group on WhatsApp.

Welcome to the Team smile

No idea what happened, unless you used .com instead of .co.uk that always trips people up.

That sounds perfect, getting to Chelmsford is pretty easy for me. If it ends up just being two I will just have to cut my random Ebay purchases down for a couple of months to cover the difference.

I'll get a message over to you now with my mobile number in for the chat group, I think I've finally worked out how to use whatsapp!

Now I just have to tell the mrs... and check my passport, I think that runs out next year biggrin

Excellent Mike smile

Sorry, my typo in the above post. it was .co.uk. Not the first time I've had trouble with the PH mail system, though. There must be a SPB-spam filter frown
