FEBRUARY 2007

DUCATI DESMODUE/CB500 & FRIENDS

ONLY 40 PEOPLE CAN ATTEND - DON'T MISS OUT!!!

This event is being run by international trackday specialists, www.RACEDAYS.net

This is an absolutely premium weekend date - straddled by the top BSB teams so an early show of interest would be very much appreciated.

The price of JUST £450 includes;

3 days on track
4 nights in a hotel
Bike transport

All you have to do is fly out. Easyjet/Ryanair do budget flights to the area from £15!!

This has been subsidised by circuit Guadix and Racedays as part of a promotional drive following major refurbishment works at the track. It's based on only 40 riders attending so there's probably time for a RACE group and a 'trackday' group (for friends/family/sponsors etc).

CIRCUIT DETAILS HERE (http://guadixcircuit.com/track.htm)

DON'T JUST RIDE YOUR BIKE...

...cancel Easter and get up to the Sierra Nevada after the trackday. Its great skiing, although pretty high (10,000 ft) and the atmosphere is top (no pun intended). Boarding is excellent as they have a full on board park - half pipes and biiiig jumps. It's cheap as well.

NOT JUST TESTING & SKIING, HOW ABOUT...

A couple of days off-roading with Redtread in the Sierra Nevada directly afterwards (please ask).

SO WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO NEXT?

Call Gerry @ Racedays on 0049 1722 963 100

He will need a £100 refundable deposit on a credit card.

If there aren't enough takers by 15th December, you will get all your money back!

Flights will still be cheap to book (in December) if the event does go ahead.

low on brownie points (as normal) at the moment, so don't count on me at this stage.
she's not too pleased I'm buying another bike.......

[Tonio600]

It may be possible for me mate... April will be my birthday... If I'm the pain I can be and bother with that Julie and my family the whole winter I may be able to turn up... :D

:lol:
And your 996? :D

[Monty]

If you want to open it out slightly Dom I could be interested in running the twin spark out-well it will LOOK like a DD bike.........probably be loads slower than you lot though.:lol:

John :devil:

[domski]

I see no reason why you couldn't join in John.

I guess that is more down to the racers, as this is aimed at DD & Minitwin racers to get some good tracktime in before the season starts.

I have no issues with it, but I think we'd have to be a bit careful opening it up to general trackdayers etc.

We are looking for approx 30 people though (plus the Minitwin peeps).

[TP]

I'd love to, but probably a bit too early in the season for me to have the finances together.

It'd be wicked though, you'll all have a BALL!

Err, dude ... I have no bike, no money ... how did I get on this list?!

[kye]

Don't think I'd be up for it, all my tracktime shall be spent on UK tracks we're racing at next year, as this is what I'm lacking at, knowing the ferking way round the tracks. It's a right hander first at Cadders innit? :S

[domski]

Err, dude ... I have no bike, no money ... how did I get on this list?!

Depends where your grid slot is I suppose :rolleyes:

[racedays]

Aha, so this is what Dom's been up to instead of sorting our site out. Touting for business! I've spoken to the Circuit today about this and they'll try and sort a weekend out in Feb/early March. HRC have booked a load of dates but we 've told Kiyo he's out of luck - Ducatis first....

The price will come in at around £450 including hotel for 4 nights (if people don't mind sharing a twin room) and insured bike transport. This has been subsidised by circuit Guadix and Racedays as part of a promotional drive following major refurbishment works at the track. It's based on only 40 riders attending so there's probably time for a DD group and 1 or 2 trackday groups. Less than 40 and it won't happen I'm afraid (don't mind doing it gratis but not minus) I'm happy to have a nominated 'auditor' look at the accounts for this to confirm it's genuine. We're keen to work with club racers and especially the DD series so spread the word and we should be able to make it happen eh?

Thanks, Gerry

PS Dom should have the Guadix vid up soon...? - pretty quick Spanish guy on a GSXR 1000. kof....proper bike...kof:D

[Tonio600]

Am really interrested. What sort of commitment do you need, and when?

Very very tempted, got to get it past the wife first though.

[Chaz]

Very very tempted, got to get it past the wife first though.

Should be no problem without testicals:D :D

[Redruth]

Can ordinary DSCers join in with the 'trackday' bit or do they have to be part of the DD lot?

I don't especially want to get out there with those nutters from the DD but I would like a foreign track trip at the beginning of next season, and this sounds like very good value.

I'm looking for the following terms:-

1. If I have to ride with the DDers, they all promise (in writing) not to scare the bejeezus out of me
2. In return, I promise to try not to be a mobile chicane
3. I'd prefer to share a room with a girlie, or pay a reasonable single room supplement
4. If 1 - 3 are satisfied, and it doesn't clash with my skiing holiday (which is supposed to be over Easter), I'd like to come, please :)

[racedays]

Hi Ruth, it's really up to the DD guys how they would want to run it but with 40 riders having the whole track to themselves for 3 days you could easily run 2 or 3 groups and have quality tracktime. The hotel is very reasonable if you would like a single room, but I'm sure there must be some other Ducati lady riders would wish to attend.

Skiing wise - cancel Easter and get up to the Sierra Nevada after the trackday. Its great skiing, although pretty high (10,000 ft) and the atmosphere is top (no pun intended). Zero Germans = No hassle at the lifts! Boarding is excellent as they have a full on board park - half pipes and biiiig jumps. (Which J.McW fell off ha!) This is actually the only reason I'm doing all this -so I can sneak off for a play! It's cheap as well.

Re - earlier question on committment (eek) - £100 refundable deposit until 15 December on a credit card will do it. If there aren't enough takers then money back, nothing lost and the flights should still be cheap to book when we confirm. (obviously if we get the numbers earlier we're off!)

Thanks, Gerry

PS Video will be up any minute...right Domski>???

[stevebale]

Count us in.. Steve and Pete #9
btw,, id like to share a room with a lady DDer too... it has to be better than twoing up with a 14st brummie!!!!

Ummm... yes??

:lol:

[racedays]

Have you had a chance to watch it yet? He does a 1.24ish and it's mental fast - near 150 on the straight, 125 through the fast flick - and Karl Harris did a 1.16!...gulp..

[domski]

So I should be looking at 1:11's then?

[Chaz]

So I should be looking at 1:11's then?

Or quicker.

[ericthered40]

come on weres the vid :devil:

[racedays]

I've already told Leon H to watch out at Jerez. Don't go on and on about winning the championship though Dom....And please, no-one mention protests! There's a vid of Guadix at http://www.racedays.net/academy.htm on board a Radical sportscar doing a 1.20 lap. G

Will there be a suspension specialist there? I'd like my new bike properly set up for me and that would seem like the ideal time. :)

Hi everyone. We've managed to secure the weekend of Sat-Mon, 24th - 25th February for this event. This is an absolutely premium weekend date - straddled by the top BSB teams so an early show of interest would be very much appreciated. Any suggestions as to how you would like this to be run would be appreciated. (we'll take care of the safety side - but it's your event so let me know which timings you would like etc.)

For the better off DD'er we can also arrange a couple of days offroading with Redtread in the Sierra Nevada directly afterwards.

Hope the date fits. Thanks G

This sounds fantastic, really looking forward to it now.

Anyone up for a few days skiing either the week before or after? You're so close to Sierra Nevada that you could ride the dry sessions and go boarding for the wet sessions!

Hmmmm..... tapas.....tinto......motos.....nieve.... going to be a classic :D

Nice work folks :D

I've posted this on the CB500 forum now, but we're half way to filling the event already ;)

[couchcommando]

Hmmmm is the 'other' group going ahead as my desmo may not be back from Italy by then and I'll have to take something else ? ;)

[domski]

Well I think that if we get 30+ racers (DD/CB) then we could possibly run an open pit lane type scenario.

We're all 'family' so I'm sure everyone would trust each other and ride accordingly, don't you think?

Other wise we run a group of 25-30 race bikes and 10-15 trackday bikes???

Basically, we have 40 spaces.

It's up to you guys really - just how DD should be ;)

Anyone else up for this?

I think it would be an idea to run 2 groups - racers and trackdayers.

3 days with 2 groups will be plenty of time on track (4 hours a day each?)

What do you guys think?

[couchcommando]

Thinking about it, let you know Monday :)

[Rally]

I'm thinking about doing this, if I can bring the lil 748. I'd be up for a few days snow boarding too if anyone's interested. ?

[Redruth]

Yes. And Sarah flameslinger is too, I think. I shall be talking to her about it at the dinner dance - that's next Saturday, Rally, the one you're not going to. :devil:

Dom, is this the official list or it the other thread the one to put names on?

[Dibble]

makes two of us as i've had nothing approaching a break yet this year !!!!

[domski]

I'm thinking about doing this, if I can bring the lil 748. I'd be up for a few days snow boarding too if anyone's interested. ?

I think that's fine Mike.

I think we should go with the idea of having 2 groups - 1 x race, 1 x trackday.

Then if we want to run as 1 group/open pit lane type thing we can.

I think 2 groups is smart. Enough room for racers and trackdayers.

[domski]

Dom, is this the official list or it the other thread the one to put names on?

As good as Ruth.

I thought that I better put a thread in the Trackdays section in case peeps don't read DD threads.

Either thread will do though :)

[paynep]

I've just reserved a place but will need someone to get my bike to the pickup point - any offers please?

Or I can go halves on someone's van hire, as long as they do the driving!

Cheers, Paul

I had a chat to AK last night (spies everywhere!) and we thought it may be an idea if peeps didn't want to go all the way to Brandon, Norfolk (near Snett I think) to drop off their bikes, then perhaps we could have a get together somewhere central and perhaps combine it with a lunch or something?

Otherwise, I think MCM Motorfrieght will drive to several regions to collect bikes (at extra cost).

Will find out for definate.

[domski]

has anyone got details of the hotel (pool etc) just wondering if its feasable for my girlfriend to come along?

I think it will be this hotel... Hotel Villa de Gor (http://www.hotelvilladegor.com/hotel.htm)

I think it also works our at about £20 a night (extra) per person, so I guess you can book your own double room (or twin :lol: twin room I mean :o) instead of sharing with one of us hairy people :D

I will ask Gerry to pop on and answer some questions betterer :)

[AK]

£20 per night plus grub etc dom?
is grub included for us who have booked or is this extra as need to budget for this
have worked out that will cost me £100 - £120 to do 2 trips to near Snett to drop of and collect bikes so if they can pick up round here for less i will save dosh and time too :)

[domski]

I've emailed Gerry.

Hopefully we'll have some useful answers very soon :)

[GrizzlyHippo]

Have read all the thread and talked to Chass today - I'm up for the trip but have 2 questions:

1 - I'll be in the trackday group – would it be OK to use my Aprilia RS250 track bike, or do I need to make sure Louigi books my 749 engine work in before the trip? The Aprilia is cheaper to crash!

2 - Anyone else going from Bristol area? Two reasons - bike transportation to Norfolk + flying Bristol to Malaga and sharing a hire car?

Cheers,
Tom

It's ok, you'll recover ;)

I'm up for the trip

Nice one!

but have 2 questions:

You can ride anything you like in the trackday group.

2 - Anyone else going from Bristol area? Two reasons - bike transportation to Norfolk + flying Bristol to Malaga and sharing a hire car?

I spoke to MCM Motofreight today, and it sounds likely that next year they will be doing a national collection service only (to/from motorway services etc), rather than a 'drop it off in Norfolk' service.

Will keep you posted as nothing is confirmed, but either way, the Louigi Moto bikes will need to go, so we can probably sort yours out as well - probably, somehow.

[GrizzlyHippo]

Cheers Dom,

I live just down the road from Louigi Moto and am always dropping in, so I'm sure I've bumped into you at some point... probably one day when Rich was throwing his toys out of the pram and swearing a lot... could be any day really ;-)

Tom

when Rich was throwing his toys out of the pram and swearing a lot.

I don't believe that for one second :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll keep updating things and PM people too with latest info.

Perhaps I should get an email database togther too. Hrmmm.

[racedays]

Thanks Mike, it was a masterpiece as well. Oh well, off to do it in word. Good advice! Gerry

[multi600]

We will all look forward to it then. Come on get your finger out there aint much on the telly tonight.:lol: :lol:

Mike

[racedays]

Telly, what's that? Right 2nd time lucky. It's not the same doing it again, the magic's gone….

Hi everyone, looks like there's a lot of interest in this and it should be a goer so a bit of info:

Hotel. We've asked the Hotel Villa de Gor to reserve us 20 twin rooms. They are yet to give us a final price for extra guests but should be around £20 a night with breakfast. We need to know pretty soon how many non-riding guests please to arrange the extra. The hotel is pretty good (we've stayed there often and it makes the £120 a night Brands Thistle look like a bad joke!) There is a gym for the supafit DD racers, a 6 person Jacuzzi for, er….family groups? A pool table, bar and a great restaurant next door with 24 hour cocktails. It's 5 minutes from the track. Guadix town is about 15 mins from the hotel and has plenty of bars and a scarey night club run by Russians where even famous BSB racers have been told off…Guadix also has one of the best restaurants in the world, ever, and it's in a cave. Cool or what? It would be a great night out for everyone so if there's an interest we'll reserve the 'big' cave.

Weather. It can be pretty parky in Feb/Mar even in Southern Spain, and a bit of snow all the way to Morrocco isn't unheard of if there's a polar airmass moving down (see those Seats spin!). However the track has only had to close because of snow on 2 separate days in separate years in the last decade. In the last such unusual cold spell teams were coming from a closed Jerez to test at Guadix so it really is in the hands of the Gods. There's usually a breeze at the circuit and in the unlikely event of overnight precipitation the track should be dry by 10ish. In general it's warm in the sun and chilly at night. So bring some woollies rather than shorts and t-shirts (will probably be 25 c now I've said that….)

Extras –
Dean Ellison should be available for instruction at very reasonable rates. Dean's one of the nicest guys you could meet and when he's not making Gurlies swoon he's one of the fastest riders out there. As he'll prove next year when he's on a decent bike…shh… (may be an honourary DDer for 07….)
Iain Wayne, ex TT racer and all round capable spanner monkey will be on hand to fix the inevitable mishaps/blowups (30 + Dukes…eek) at a small cost and we'll have tyre sales and changing facilities to hand as well.

Skiing/Boarding, Ferrari hot laps, top offroading with Redtread – let us know if you fancy making a holiday of it. We have special rates with these guys and are happy to pass them on for this event.

Sadly I've got to go to Mugello now :D , then Holland :sniff: , Germany :barfy: then Jerez :D so the best way to contact us is by e-mail please at info@racedays.net I'll then send you a 'DesmoDue and special guests' booking form and we'll confirm as soon as numbers are reached.

Thanks for the interest, it should be a blast , and thanks to the DSC forum for letting us advertise it here.:saint:

And special thanks to Dom for getting it rolling. You're great Dom.

[Dibble]

possibly interested, one quick question though, the Racedays site says that the 26/27 Feb is exclusive BSB testing .. is their site or the dates here out of synch ?

cheers

It'd be great to see you there fella - AFAIK, this is between some BSB testing. Its a really good deal too - not sure how they're doing it, but I'm booking up before they change their mind.

Sounds like a plan ;)

Sadly I've got to go to Mugello now, then Holland, Germany

I used to like you! :(

then Jerez :D

Oh ok, I'll let you off (and see you there!) :D

And special thanks to Dom for getting it rolling. You're great Dom.

No, no, I insist, it's all down to you mate. Thanks for doing us an incredible deal on this.

Come on peeps, get your deposits in before it's too late - Places going FAST!!!! (Honestly!)

[domski]

cheers Dom, and the airport options ???

Well, I think Granada is closest - 30 mins?

Then Malaga - 90 mins?

Anywhere else is a bit more of a trek.

Easycar (the only one I checked) do a 9 seater MPV for £170 from Friday - Tuesday. So between 6 peeps thats only £30 each.

Budget flights look to be about £40-£50 return - despite saying they should be £3.99 blah blah.

HTH

[racedays]

Hi Guys, just back from Mugello. Was there Thursday morning 'til today - and these events are non-stop for us so thanks for your patience. Everyone who has mailed or called is put in chronological order for us to get back to so hang in there please... I've had about 20 messages from various people so we'll still need another 20 to green light it but it's looking good!

Mugello is absolutely awesome. 3 days on track, 200 participants from all over Europe, 7 races, Red flags? 1, for 5 minutes. Doesn't matter who you go with - just get out there once. PS - had our first desmosedici along. LOOUUUDDD!

[racedays]

The following have contacted us to do this trip;

1.Michael Peatfield

[domski]

:roll:

[Monty]

Blimey, not only did I remember to send you the e-mail, but I just checked and I remembered to put it in my diary as well. All I have to do now is make sure that John Hackett gets the bike sorted in time-should be ok but when I was there today it was all in big boxes under the bench-eg-reduced to it's component parts..................

John

[racedays]

Hi Guys, info and booking form will be sent out today. We're up to 22 now so only 18 places left! If you know anyone sitting on the fence give them a shove - the sooner we can confirm the cheaper the flights.

Just to confirm everybody knows - it will be either 2 groups or open pit lane. Any type of bike welcome but you have to be an invited DD guest. In more news Guadix is being totally resurfaced and extended in December to include a flat in third, triple apex right hander . Nice! DDers will probably get to set the official lap record, for 2 days anyway!

Thanks, Gerry

[GrizzlyHippo]

One more for the road...

Please add Dean Nicholls to the list.

Cheers, Tom.

[domski]

I think Tom Luton will be going too - hopefully!

Just need to get Rich & Becka to sign up and it will be a Louigi Moto / OD2 Racing Spanish frenzy!!!!!

:o

:D

[hawk]

Wooo Hooo

:D
:D

[TP]

Yeah Baby!!!!

;)

[GrizzlyHippo]

Rich said yesterday that he wants to go... and it means he now has an excuse to build another race bike!!!

How the other half live...

[AK]

looking dicey for me now as have got to spend the cost of this trip on bits for the van to go through the mot:(

[racedays]

Can I ask all interested parties to contact us only if they are 100% committed to coming. It will be impossible to confirm that we have reached the required minimum numbers otherwise.

Many thanks,

Racedays

[domski]

I know nobody is doubting it, but just to show what a cracking deal we're getting, here's some info from the booking forms...

http://www.ddracer.com/pics/guadix.jpg

...it's silly cheap!!

I'll be sure to check Gerry's sanity later in the week, when I'm at Jerez.

Did I mention that I'm going to Jerez?

:D

[racedays]

Right Guys, we're up to 29 now! Won't be long and we can confirm and everyone can get flights booked. Can I remind everyone who's coming to download a booking form and return it asap please.

Also - although the event is done at cost you can't really compare it to Valencia or other Racedays as they involve transponders, races and more expensive tracks. We'd really be taking the pxxx with a £300 mark up... Nice promo work tho' Dom! There are other good deals out there with other companies but with only 40 people this is gonna be great fun!

[VanDaMauler]

Cant wait...:D

Just sent mine off...

[kye]

Just posted my forms. Now just need to order the track fairings, buy crash bungs and book the skiing (when you're ready, Ali, in your own time ;) )

http://www.anrperformanceuk.co.uk are the best place for track fairings I've found if you haven't got some lined up already

[Redruth]

Thanks Chass and Kye. Just done a deal with Dseered.

Right, anyone got a cheap set of R & G crash bungs I can buy off them? I was looking at front fork, bar ends, main frame and the pair that goes on the back to protect the swing arm. I checked these out at the NEC so I know what I'm looking for.

Don't bother directing me to e-bay. I don't do e-bay :devil:

[Redruth]

Thanks Ian. Wouldn't mind taking advantage of that offer but I think I will be buying a full set as I plan to do a few trackdays on the Black Cat next year.

[Dibble]

http://www.anrperformanceuk.co.uk are the best place for track fairings I've found if you haven't got some lined up already

no offence Kye, they may have looked after you but their stuff is sh*te, the fit is **** and their customer service is even worse ....

Ruth, call Steve at Wraysbury, he is an R&G Supplier, he'll look after you ... :)

oh, and my form went yesterday ..... :)

[AK]

er, Steve doesnt own the place we all know as Wraysbury Tyres now Dibs:( though the new owners will still be doing good deals.
Steve has retained the name of the company, but he has sold the business to another. Otherwise, same faces will still be there, apart from Steve.

Will post up Steves contact info shortly for anyone who wants it

[Redruth]

Cheers Dibs. I'll do that in the New Year if I don't manage to pick up a set on here before then.

[Dibble]

er, Steve isnt running Wraysbury now Dibs:( though the new owners will still be doing good deals.

Will post up Steves contact info shortly for anyone who wants it

nooooooooooooooooo!!!! :(

or get them at the bike show in the spring Ruth .... :)

[AK]

for cheap trackday fairings try Denis Trollop

Why? what are you planning?

[Dibble]

Why? what are you planning?

she's a woman, they will be purely for "parking bumps" in the garages :p

[Redruth]

Not purely for that, Dibs. They'll be for the minor mishaps where I drop the bike turning it round in a car park or on someone's drive, or outside my Aunt's house in Wolverhampton, and then I thought they'd also be quite practical for when I throw it down the track. Seems like a good investment as my bike insurance doesn't cover me for track riding. :D

[paynep]

I hope this goes ahead - I've jsut booked my flights! :-)

[TP]

I hope this goes ahead - I've jsut booked my flights! :-)

:D:D

Cunning plan, what/where/who/how much?

[paynep]

Monarch Gatwick-Malaga £86

Fly out Friday pm, return Tues midday

Easyjet is about £20 cheaper and also goes GAtwick-Almeria but is an hour later going out and an hour earlier coming back.

Ryanair fly direct from Stansted to Granada but the return flights don't get back in until 23.05 so for me it would make a really long day Monday or sitting around all day Tuesday as I'm over 2 hours from Stansted.

Thomson and Flybe don't have a Friday flight from Gatwick

I figured that it was worth the gamble as flights will get more expensive the closer it gets, and I wanted times to suit me!

Nice one ... do I book, or do I wait ... hrmm m...

Many thanks

[racedays]

Dear All, hope you had a productive meeting on Saturday. Can I just reiterate the booking conditions for this event. It will go ahead as soon as we have received 40 confirmed applications. An application is only confirmed if made on a Racedays booking form and credit card details are supplied. The credit card details will be verified and £100 deposit debited upon reaching the required number to do the event. This deposit is non-refundable. If the event goes ahead it will be debited, This is the only method to discourage 'tyre-kickers' (trade term!) and although there are people with genuine reasons to change their minds we need to discourage this to avoid disappointment for everyone else at the last minute. This event is going to be great fun and I'm working on a special guest to make it even more special. Booking forms received so far, in no particular order:


John Williams
Paul Payne
Tony Perrin
Dominic Cann
Richard Cashmore
Van Van de Moir
Tom Grzelinski
Ruth Allistone
Nigel Young
Thomas Young
Phil Clark
Dean Nicholls
Paul Gilpin
Eric Howe
James Bessey
Pietro DeBlasi
Andy Todd
Jane Atak

I was looking at the numbers yesterday and thinking I may look at booking a flight today, but the numbers seem to have been reduced a little this morning. Has anyone else booked flights, hire cars etc yet. From where to where and don't say Uk to Spain:lol: :lol: What sort of prices?

What about car hire / share? Depends on flight times etc, but anyone sorting a people carrier / bus !!! FFB!!!!

Tim

[Redruth]

Granada is the nearest airport.

Ryanair fly there from Stanstead
Monarch fly there from Gatwick :D

Not booked yet but expect to this weekend.

[VanDaMauler]

Nothing booked yet either....

Waiting to get the go ahead...

[Rattler]

Nothing booked yet either....

Waiting to get the go ahead...

Seems we need to get to 40 for lift-off. Anyone else sitting on the fence? Any new DD'ers not signed up for this yet?

Tim

[Redruth]

I spoke to Sarah at Racedays today. She sounded pretty confident that Gerry has his numbers. Confirmation would be nice, though :D

[domski]

I think we need about 5 more to send in booking forms.

We've had over 40 express interest, but some have dropped out etc

Will let you know the minute it's full :)

[racedays]

Woah! Enthusiastic Ducati people. Nice. We're over the 40 mark provisionally but as Dom says awaiting deposits as people might remember their hamsters having a triple bypass or something. As soon as the 6 or so confirm I'll let everyone know.

Thanks, G

Okey dokey - I've also been speaking with Dickie about sharing transport etc.... so if we fly out from Stansted, we can get a FFB and we'll all be sorted.

Dibbs migt want to fly from Gatwick though? - its all the same to me.

You guys seem pretty organized on this, give me a shout when you book, so I can sort out the same flight etc...

I`ll have to be carried off the plane at the other end, I wont have the strength to walk.....:lol:

[Rattler]

Suggested flights are these;
stansted - almeria 23/2 dep 11.40 arr 15.30
almeria - stansted 27/2 dep 16.00 arr 17.55

But I'm also looking at Gatwick options - Paul Payne has already booked from Gatwick - will check these too.

Tim

[VanDaMauler]

Suggested flights are these;
stansted - almeria 23/2 dep 11.40 arr 15.30
almeria - stansted 27/2 dep 16.00 arr 17.55

Sorry, but who with?

Easyjet??

[Rattler]

Sorry, but who with?

Easyjet??

I think its Ryanair from Standsted and Easyjet from Gatwick - I'll look into it.

Tim

[Rattler]

Monarch Gatwick-Malaga £86

Fly out Friday pm, return Tues midday

Easyjet is about £20 cheaper and also goes GAtwick-Almeria but is an hour later going out and an hour earlier coming back.

Ryanair fly direct from Stansted to Granada but the return flights don't get back in until 23.05 so for me it would make a really long day Monday or sitting around all day Tuesday as I'm over 2 hours from Stansted.

Thomson and Flybe don't have a Friday flight from Gatwick

I figured that it was worth the gamble as flights will get more expensive the closer it gets, and I wanted times to suit me!

Paul Payne has booked the above - this might suit too???

[domski]

This event is now FULL :D

Nice one guys!

[dickieducati]

thinking about sorting flights out very soon.

anyone else fancy doing these and sharing car etc. seem like good times. im only 25 mins from stansted and have spare room if you need to stay thursday evening.

We'll be debiting the deposits this week. Following that the transport company Motofreight will be forwarded a list of all attending. They will collate this into a provisional collection schedule and contact you directly to see if you wish to take part in this service (there is a surcharge payable to Motofreight for this). Collection and delivery will be approximately 1 week either side of the event. The delivery point if you wish to take your bikes directly is Brandon in Norfolk. It will probably be another few weeks until you are contacted so please be patient - it's a very hectic period!

The balance would normally be due 8 weeks prior but as that will be Christmas we'll be debiting it in the first week of January. Please ensure there are sufficient funds to cover the balance - it costs us a fortune chasing everyone up on their mobiles :(

I'll be e-mailing everyone individually with the full event details and to arrange rooming lists.

Thanks, Gerry

I'll get in touch with Turkish to see if we can do a couple of 'group' collections hopefully saving some money and mucking about.

The delivery point if you wish to take your bikes directly is Brandon in Norfolk.

I think he's moved to Downham Market now ;)

I could well be up for that. It depends if anyone wants to go skiing but not had much interest there so far. I know Easyjet fly to Malaga from Bristol as I've used it myself a couple of times. Parkings a lot cheaper than Gatwick too.

[Chaz]

:puzzled:
