As per this thread http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...Who is interested? Im happy to organise accommodation, but need numbers and commitment. Will probably look to book something by late october. My plan will be to drive from London, take the channel tunnel and up from Calais. You can save £50 or more on the ferry, but it takes hours longer. We could meet at a set time in Calais and perhaps pick up wayward members floating across the channel at the various points along the way. Its around 1200 miles each way. I figure you will need a week off at least. Options to add side tours are on the cards etc. Anyway the main point is to sort out some accommodation in the area. Getting to and from is secondary at present. So perhaps this can be stickied. Im not sure what car to take yet, will decide closer to the time.

Probably 4 tanks each way. Give or take. £700 in petrol. Plus £100 for the channel.
Another £200 in spending money for food. Plus budget accommodation on the way to/from.
Say £500 accommodation. So my rough estimate is £1500.
Accommodation shouldn't be too bad. Ill do some R&D and get some indicative pricing.
Im sure people can share to cut costs etc.

I'd like to tag along to this please.
Being up north I'm toying with the thought of taking the ferry from Hull to Rotterdam to then catch up with you guys on the way up through Germany somewhere.
