The latest update on this trip.
So far I have booked the ferry crossing for the trailer and my 4x4 plus myself , electricDave and Scott. We will be going the Harwich to Hook of Holland route ,reducing the amount of time spent motoring.
The second vehicle ,to be driven by Steve, will go via the Eurotunnel meaning we can delay booking that for a little while longer. This will be a shorter sea crossing but a longer road trip.
We still need to book the hotel accommodation and have settled on the Inntel at Zutphen;
http://www.inntelhotelsresortzutphen.nl/..I have spoken with the reservations desk at this hotel and obtained a provisional quote of 66euros per room per night. This may be reduced if more people attend - but if we leave it too long and more rooms are booked up while we wait - then the cost may increase. I would like to book the rooms on Monday 11th April, so if you're thinking of coming along with us then please decide very soon.
If you leave it until after I've made the bookings it doesn't mean you can't come along, just that you will need to make all your own arrangements.
I phoned Frank as well to sort out any other arrangements that needed discussing and we have agreed for all those taking part in the run to make a contribution of 15 euros towards a lunch on the Saturday and a souvenir from the trip. More details to be published later, but it seems a fair price
