Only just noticed this....was this me you were referring to?

Have looked just now on the Hull - Rott and cost jumps from 70 to 264.......I dont think think this is worth it. I would be more than happy to be added to someones insurance and help drive a stint......to be honest, the camaraderie and a lot of caffiene would keep us all going.

My only thing is the cost, I know that shouldnt be a factor, but got a lot going on end of the year.....so how about this.......we get early fairy from Dover, then hit the lot in one go? Possible? Arrive late on Day 1. Then drink for Day 2, Day 3......day 4 do something nostalgic and non drink related (so we are sensible driving back!).......then crack of dawn day 5 travel back. That way, keeps beer costs to two days and accom to 4 nights.

£70 travel, £20 per night. So £80 total. Food and bits £30 per day so £150. Then for two drinking nights say £200 (roughly 240 euros).

That works out at a nice round £500.......would people be up for only 2 days drinking or is that not enough? Lol!

More than possible drew, coming back from Mayrhofen in austria we decided just to go for it and do the lot in one go - only me driving!

1024 miles in 16 hours, left mayrhofen at 12noon on the sunday, got to calais about 11pm, sailed at midnight, back in the UK for 12:20am and home to west yorkshire by 4.30am.

Was hard work towards the end but lots of red bull and pro-plus did the job. If we're doing the early boat from dover then we can easily get to Munich by evening time.

And 2 days drinking in the middle suits me just fine. £500 (plus I'll bring a bit more) for the works sounds grand.. I've no qualms with getting people insured on my car.

Just need to rope in someone south enough to make getting the early ferry an easy job (maybe somewhere around northampton or essex way? )

Hoi, hoi, hoi!!!!!!!" is always a winner ...lol
