Hi,
I've just been speaking to a very dear friend, who could assist those of us who are travelling over under our own steam, and not taking up the kind offer of the bikes being transported by big truck.
Here is the deal:
If 10 or more of us get together, he can make a block 'freight' booking to go over from Dover on Thurs 4th May early morning, return Sun night.
For this, we need:
Van OR car size: Height & length.
AND: How many people.
Note: As freight, you wont have to queue with holiday traffic/punters, and will also have a good brekkie to get! (unlike holiday makers restaurant)
Now, an added thing: he has contacts for a B&B 15 mins drive from the track, costing approx 35euros or so per night, with great eating place out front (chinese) and reasonably secure bike parking (see next item too!)
He also offers a second deal:
if 10 people want to go by
bike, he will make it a 'trip' and be back-up vehicle & carry stuff (as he usually does, kind man). This now might be of interest,particularly as the WDW has been postponed for 2006.
Anyone wanting 'in', or want more info - can they post below, so Mav can work this one out?
If not enough numbers by boxing day, then I'll do my own booking.
