I'm free & up for it but just discussing with Chicken Eye brow whether we're gonna go later in the year as he's unable to make those dates. A decision will be made imminently!

The only thing with later in the year, is your starting to flirt with the dodgy Eifel autumn climate. I wouldn't want to leave it any later than September to be in with a fighting chance of a dry weekend.

Yes, I did think that might be the case! I'd be looking for a passenger if I was going with you guys.....

Might be someone around the Kent area, or someone who'd like to go and is willing to drive down to you? (as you're basically en route to Dover anyway)

I is. 45 mins to Dover with good traffic. I think I remember havin good traffic once!

Talking of which, would there be any unrestricted sections of Autobahn on the way down? I'd like to have a quick blast!

Yeah there is... PM sent

Are you sure, as I don't recall any delimited on the route we took to the Ring last time. I might do some research on line

There was a section of either the E42 or E29 that was unrestricted in June last year - although they were widening it in places so had limits through the roadwork sections :(

I have asked on Northloop.

Hopefully there is as I fancy a bit of 150mph cruising myself.

Apparently the E29 (1) is delimited, so I would propose if we are early enough (which I suspect we will be) we take the slightly longer route there by sticking on the E40 past Aachen, then catching the E29 south.

Yeah I'd be up for that. Jamie's gonna think about it & let me know tonight. I'm saying yes for me right now & with any luck with Jamie as co pilot. I could pay pal you any monies required if you like?

All autobahn is unlimited, just ask any Merc or BM driving German

Once we have 8 definites, then yes, I will be looking to get in the 560 odd euros asap from everyone as I suspect I would have to pay the full amount p.d.q once I've booked it.

Actually, it's possible we get a 10% discount if the villa is booked before the 18th June (over 3 months) in which case it will only be about 500 euros for the villa, and work out a fair bit cheaper per person too - probably £60 only depending on the exchange rate.

Chris Ellis will testify to the restricted parts of the Autobahn! :P:rofl:

............... there are some great stretches of unrestricted parts of the Belgian motorway network .......................... although they don't know that

It is good a lot of the "limited" stuff is still 130km/h, which gives more leniancy for cruising at a decent pace.

With the proposed 2am crossing, it would mean arrival in DK at 5am (EU time), and [fingers crossed] we will be past Brussels by rush hour as that's a right sod when busy! :thumbdwn:

Can't get time off work. I'm out!

probably £60 only depending on the exchange rate.

it's 0.85 pounds per euro at the moment so still less than £60 even without the discount. Bargain

Yeah - Not sure what my bank will convert the euros at. have sent an email to center parcs (now called "Sunparks Eifel" - undergone name change since I was last there) and if we do get 10% discount, I will book & pay a.s.a.p

Well, like I say Jason, I'm a definite & I think it looks like Jamie's coming too? I've just PM'd him as I wasn't 100% sure from his last message. Didn't see a yes in it but didn't see a no in it either! I'll check again when i return from work in a coupla hours time.

Ok then! Please put me down for the trip & put Jamie down for my co. pilot. We are definitely coming. I'll PM you as well Jason as confirmed confirmation!! Thanks, Simon.

Cool - Full again. Just whether or not there is a 2nd cabin needed.

1+ 2) devonutopia + Xav

3 + 4) Jomo + 1?

5 + 6) Southpaw +1?

7 + 8) Leesman + 1

I managed to wriggle out of my commitments on that weekend so as Leesman said above, I can come now.

Just need to find two others to passenger in the other Fabias.

If it gets to 1st August and we haven't got enough people for a chalet then I'd be happy to camp.

I don't camp! Seriously tho. I would need a mains or 12v supply for my Cpap machine or I will not be able to sleep as I'll be having sleep apnea every night! Really really don't camp but if it was the only choice, I guess I could rig something up from Beryl's auxillary output socket?

I thought we had passengers for the other 2 Fabia's? Is that what the question marks mean? I thought it meant that you didn't know their names!

Had no confirmations they are both bringing someone - from memory of the last trip Southpaw brought his swmbo.

Sent PMs to both to confirm though.
