Euro trip - anyone interested? - SV650.org

24-04-05, 12:42 AM

Is anyone else interested in the following:

a 3 day trip to Europe (4 countries!) including riding the Nurburgring?
(France, Belgium, Germany, Luxemburg)

The trip will be...

Thursday afternoon meet in Ashford,Kent.
Crossing from Dover to Calais
Ride to the Ardennes in Belgium and the village of Moulin du Ruy, Stoumont. Check into the B&B See here
Few sociable beers

Friday lunch, accompanied by an english Nurburgring instructor, make our way to Germany (~90 mins) for 5 laps of the world famous course and hopefully back to Belgium for a few beers and conversation about what a thrill it was and how crap the Porsche/Ferrari/Lamborghini drivers were and how the humble SV gives you more bang for your buck

Saturday - visit Luxemburg, Charleroi and Brussels and finish at the Bikers loft in Ostend for a variety of Belgium beers and good entertainment. see here

Sunday afternoon ride back to Calais for an afternoon ferry back to Dover.

Cost to be... (approx)

~£50 Return Ferry
~£40 5 laps Nurburgring (€60)
~£15 Escorting at/to Nurburgring (€20)
~£20 Bike loft in Ostend (€30)

So that's a total of about £125 for a great weekend

Prices include breakfasts in accomodation but exclude petrol and other meals and are based on people sharing accomodation..

I reckon for the milage we are doing in the continent it wont be more than £60 (based on english fuel prices).

Call it £10 a day for meals and you would be looking at about £200 all in plus your fuel to and from Dover (plus beer money). Bargain? I think so!

To be able to do the Nurburgring I need to get four including myself.
and there are now 6 people who have paid deposits

Couerdelion
LynW
Falco
SVRunner
Mr Toad
Lurcher

Anyone else interested? please PM me if you are.
All I need is £20 to cover the deposit for accomadation.

Weekend will be Thu 21st July -Sun24th July.

belgian beer

but with the staying at the bikers loft would suggest it wouldnt be a morning departure...

any possibility of making it a long weekend and having that extra day?

and do you mean meet at dover for a late crossing to calais btw? if so you can always meet at mine as Im 20 miles from dover

but otherwise... sounds good... interested

Well possibly a 3:00pm crossing from dover back which would amazingly get us back to dover for 3:15 due to the wonders of Euro time

and some of us live way up north

after Belgium beer I guess even that might be optimistic but I was trying to come up with an affordable trip. Hmmm hoegarden

I looked at meeting at dover thursday night for an early crossing to dover on friday morning but it worked out cheaper to stay in France (and you gain a couple of hours by not having to cross friday morning) ahhhh sleep

My main concern is getting the Ardenes place booked as he's already really busy.

Will there be a large group going? I would be there with bells on as it is a trip I have been wanting to do for a while.
Cheers

I have a 3 bedroomed house in Ashford so putting people up wouldnt be a problem and as said only 20 miles from Dover..

If that would be an option its there...

as per affordable, would you consider camping? most euro sites are pretty good and reasonable...

Sounds good but will let you know once suitable employment has been found

25-04-05, 08:27 AM

I'm interested! That weekend could be free it's the start of the summer hols for us teacher types...what a start!

25-04-05, 09:35 AM

Oh hang on.... couldn't go 'til friday afternoon though.....afterthat though.

Just checked and the bloke who would accompany us round the Nurburgring isn't available on any Fridays in August (I'm trying to limit the number of days off)

The only deposit I would need would be €25 (<£20) for the bikeloft accomodation.
The other b&b works on a trust principle (very trusting

)
and it would be up to each individual to book there own ferry
(we'd agree a time upfront of course)

Everything else would be paid for as and when needed.

I need to book the accomadation asap so if you're a definite can you pm me and I'll give you my address for the deposit.
