Just been speaking to the bloke who's going to be doing the escorting to and from the Nurburgring. He thinks that the milage we are going to be doing on the friday is unrealistic and will be extremely tiring and won't allow us to enjoy the Nurburgring as much as we could.

The breakdown of the milage is...
Calais --> Stoumont ~ 215 miles
Stoumont --> Nurburg ~ 80 miles
5 laps Nurburgring ~ 65 miles
Nurburg --> Stoumont ~ 80 miles

total = 440 mls

So I can see his thinking. He's suggested that we go to the B&B on the thursday night and then just do the Nurburgring part on the Friday.

This will add about €35(£25) to the trip but I think it will make the whole nurburgring a lot more enjoyable.

My suggestion would be to meet up Thursday afternoon for a 2pm crossing. Unfortunately this will mean another day off work
This would get us to Calais for just after 4 and we should be at the B&B for 8 ish. We would have chance for a meal and drink and have no worries about having to get up too early the next morning.

Can you let me know if this would change anyones mind about the trip?

thanks

Rich

Yer i can do that no problem.

Does make sense in a way, you prolly want to be quite switched on at the nurburgring!

Looking good

Once I've received all deposits and confirmed accomadation I'll ring around and sort out which is the best/cheapest ferry crossing. I'll then let everyone know so we can all book on the same one.
