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!

Right just going to add some info here, which hasn't been considered, and might help if you can't afford to go for a long trip

You can fly with German Wings from Manchester, Stanstead & Heathrow, direct to Colonge, not some mickey mouse Ryan Air place.

A kurtz S Bahn zug reise nach Koln Centrum

Current midweek fare in September is 24€ one way. More expensive at the weekends, so go midweek

Not only will this cut down on your travel time, but means you could do a shorter trip.

Flights from Stanstead are twice a day, early and late.

I'm off there this month for a weekend away

Officially half-tempted by this - need to see what happens on the work front though, as I'm currently job-hunting.
