Wine Festival and Ring Trip

[S800VXR]

OK, For those that wanted to know:

We will be booking up next month to go to the Cochem wine Festival (highly recomended!) and have a play at the ring. The itinerary is:

28th Aug - travel over, meal on the side of the river that night.
29th August am/lunch - drive up to the ring (1/2hr) and play for the day!
29th August PM - wine festival gets underway and huge fireworks display that night.
30th August - late morning get up and drive back.

I will confirm the train times which we will be getting and also the hotel we are proposing to stay in (there are a few). If you want to go you will need to book early as it get busy for this weekend! I dont mind booking the hotel for you so long as I get the money in advance.

Cost wise bank on £70 for the chunnel and about £150 for 2 nights at the hotel. Plus obviously petrol and wine money although the bottle were cheap last time.

Went 2 yrs ago and it was bloody great!

The ring is not a track persay, its a one way fast toll road so yr not racing anyone. Ask Stig, he did the scenic route and took 15minutes!

I will most likely come along and take the scenic route like stig.

Oh yeah roger, are you going to thunder road?

Stick youself down for some of the VXR track days. You'll learn a bit AND get to drive in someone elses car for silly cheap money.

Not in my car as it needs running in not out! Might be going up with someone else, depends on time though.

Rog if welcome and can make it I will. Thing is on the 28th I am shooting a wedding so I could knock that on the head when the meal starts and tank it to the hotel seperately. Same one as last time? Man beers all round etc
