Whoohey, Well done Graham...... Nothing like cutting it fine though bud.

All we need now is some sunshine !!

Tel,

Yep, been there a few times around that time.

As ever weather is very tempremental, some days are like summer then others just pisses down, have been when just dry for near whole time. I just have sticky tyres at all times hoping for dry, never go out if damp or wet especially Ring tended to frequent the eateries if crap weather.burger

Bloody hell I thought I was cutting fine with my mapping on 22nd was hoping to do Silverstone on 17th not now straight to Pistonclause...

Graham, hopefully Steve has got hold of you before you read this but we have decided to book the earlier ferry out at 07:35 because we should then get to the ring with 3 or so hours track time available to us on the Saturday.

We have also decided on The premiere inn east ferry terminal at Dover for the overnight....... We have stopped there before and its not a bad effort and you can fall out of bed straight onto the ferry almost.

So just to confirm and for anyone else that's interested:

Friday night at the Premiere Inn east ferry terminal Dover !

Ferry from Dover to calais
Out Sat 31st March 07:35 ****** NEW TIME ******
Return Tues 3rd April 16:05

Through Ferrysavers

Saturday afternoon now arriving at the ring for some laps.
Saturday night at the Dorint Nurburg after a Steak at the Pistenclause.

Sunday at the ring leaving late afternoon for trip to Spa

Staying at the Spa radisson Blue palace hotel Sunday & Monday night

With all day at Spa on the Monday booked through Circuit days

Tbh graham, the last two years we made better time on the way back and got to Calais before our due ferry so they just let us on the earlier one !
