It cost me £200 to ship the bike I think, and about £5 for flights!

It's definitely expensive, no two ways about it. I justified it by not losing my daily rate at work as it's over a weekend. So cost-effective for me that way. Additionally, you have a better student to coach ratio and you definitely get more out of a concentrated two day camp.

It's expensive but absolutely well worth it IMO.

Still looking jerez..................JPM, tim said they stayed at the 4*Hotel Trypp last time he went with them.

If you remember when we went for the chinese, that was opposite the main drag there. A bit more into town than the Sherry.

FE are useless, not a word from them, I even spoke to one of their guys face to face at Oulton a few weeks ago who was vaguer than a vague thing about all the questions I asked...

To be fair I can't imagine many people booking now before Christmas/NY

We stayed in the Tyrp in September, but I think they are also looking at the hotel that is just outside the track itself - we went for a meal there while I was out in September - very good food, very convenient for the track, but it would mean that you would need a hire-car / taxi if you wanted to get into the town itself in the evening.

I would guess they are currently sorting out which hotel they can get cheapest, hence the reason for not confirming any details. Trip in September included coach transfers to/ from airport and to/from track each day...I'll have another go at getting some info from them aswell.

Well done Ian!

Sounds like the conversation I had with them at Oulton, they were looking at the hotel near the circuit which as Ian says is great for the trackdays, but anything else is limited
