I would love to but it will be around the time of the Ring trip and with a baby peanut hanging around then i dont think er in doors will let me loose. :sad1:

Well as Worthersee starts on Wednesday 12th May and ends Saturday 15th.
So travel out on the Wednesday, go over to the Ring on the Saturday and travel back on the Monday.
This time (said in the voice of Duncan Bannatyne from Dragons Den), I'm in :happy2:

Lol at dave!!
Right... I love organising a good road trip!! What about going via stelvio on the way to the ring? It will be awesome in may
I think on this trip we should organise who takes what tools. To avoid having 4 trolley jacks etc.lol. Another thing that needs mentioning, you'll need an Austrian vignette, think there about 30€. It's road tax.
Stelvio would be mega!

i,m in, but not sure if i have time for road trip due to kids babysitting etc so i might have to fly there as i,ll only prob get a few days away.
but looking into our options :evilgrin:

Cool! It'll be good to meet you, matsu :happy2:

....
Worthersee is about 850 miles from Calais if driving a route via Nurburgring. So the trip would roughly be about 2k miles plus whatever UK mileage gets you to Calais.
-
i make it about 800 miles. going thru belguim, lux ,germany.
probably the best way rather than going thru france. that would add about 80euros onto the price in tolls

orsum idea!! gonna go back through amsterdam again!! :grin:
-
Ive just been looking at routes and stevlio (plus some better roads) doesnt add too much on at all. that said...from worthesee to nurburg via stelvio = a big drive!
but its a big drive anyways
-
Wow, this is gonna be a little bit good! If Steph and Kim are going there is no way I am gonna get away without bringing the misses!

I Can't Drink! :rolleye: I'd be seriously cabbaged if alcohol touches my lips. Im on more opiates than a recoverin smack heed :jumping:
Seriously tho, I will def need to know what the maximum hours of driving will be. Hopefully by May2010 I will be on less painkillers, but at the moment I really do need to plan when I take my pills and when I am fit to drive! :ashamed:
I am NOT gonna miss this trip. Its been a dream of mine for many years to go round the Ring. Cannot believe I'll be there in 6mths time. :smiley:
-
It depends on if we go down in one hit? I'm good either way.
So guys, home to worthersee in one hit or stop over one night?
-
I was thinking we could drive straight to Munich, have a night there, the the next day, drive thru alps etc via davos and stelvio then to worthersee?

....Don't worry about the drink - If you feel you can't have a good time without drink it's very sad. I haven't drunk any alcohol for nearly 20 years but have still enjoyed hanging out with the guys on this forum.

....Great idea, Jay. Munich is a nice drive in one day from the UK and it's a nice city. Would leave us rested for the second leg of the journey via Stelvio etc.
:happy2:
-
My thoughts exactly
-
Munich sounds good! Also Red, I don't need to drink, and TBH I have gone off the taste a while ago. I'll have a good time, as long as drinking is not expected :scared: Having visited Germany many times, I am sure I will end up sampling half a Bitburger or Brinkhoff :drinking:
-
No one is required to drink at all. Were not the kind to be like "down it or your a puff". Having said that, we saw a he'll UVA lot of bitburger at the ring!
-
:drinking:
-
Well as I mentioned before this trip will take a big hand full out of my Mod jar, but I might still be able to get Revo'd :evilgrin:
Is this the best option you reckon? Or should Revo be done along with exhaust and intake?
-
2 days is good, cant be doing 18 hour drives! :stupid:
Perhaps us northerners should stop down near folkstone then we can all get a good nights sleep (after many beers) and get an early train? instead of waking up at 3am and setting off like last time :signLOL:
-
Is this the best option you reckon? Or should Revo be done along with exhaust and intake?
....They don't all have to be done at the same time. I went for a long time with just Milltek exhaust, then Carbonio intake, and lastly Revo over a year later. No harm done.
-
so how many nights are we talking,just so i can plan how i,m gonna sort out Gf's kids-where they are going and who gets them etc.anyone clever enough to put an itinery down for thickos like me?
and i prob wont get to the ring on way home it just depends on how long the whole trip will take due to babysiting requirements etc.
joe- i,m in essex and can prob put a few(6) of ya up on sofas and camp beds if you need to crash over before hitting the tunnel the next morning?
not cleared it with the missus but she will be cool i,m sure.

Suggestion only : -
- 1st overnight in Chunnel vicinity or within easy reach.
- Day drive to Munich.
- 2nd overnight in Munich.
- Day drive via Stelvio etc to Worthersee.
- 3rd overnight at Worthersee.
- Day at Worthersee.
- 4th overnight at Worthersee.
- Day drive to Nurburgring.
- 5th overnight at Nurburgring.
- Day on Nordschleife but could be more than one day.
- 6th or 7th overnight at Nurburgring.
- Drive your own way home!
We would have to check which days the Nordschleife would be open to us and plan accordingly.
HTH
-
sounds good matsu, :happy2:
obv its a while away so keep your options open as alot can change in 5 months!
I WILL be going to amsterdam, probably on about the 6th night. :party: anybody else is welcome.
This trip should be AWESOME!!
-
Im good for driving from my house to munich to be honest.
There is a town in Switzerland i know called Chur, very similar to Arenburg at the Nurburgring but a little busier. There's a nice hotel there, which doesn't cost the earth. Its just as closer than munich, its a great drive. it would be about 8 hours from calais, which im fine with.
What id probably do is set off tuesday evening and arrive in switzerland on wed afternoon, Ready for a relaxing meal and a few beers.
Im fine for driving there in one hit. I not guna take two nights to get to Worthersee. i cant afford the time off work! lol
-
^^^^
Chur sounds cool to me, Jay :drinking:
Would the Chur route still include Stelvio?
My list was only a way of seeing how the number of nights might work out for matsu. Just a skeleton itinery to develop further.
We will have to check the Nordschleife availability though and that would be likely to influence which day we spend at Worthersee.
:happy2:
-
Chur is nearer to stelvio. All the roads around chur are great! its near davos too!

thanks for the help
matsu
-
Wooohooo! Im really really looking forward to this, the roads round Chur are something special, they are without doubt the greatest roads I have driven in my life :jumpmove: :jumpmove:
-
Me too Tom! this is really sounding like its gonna be a Great Road Trip. :driver: Great suggestion route there too Red. I reckon 8hrs drive is good (with redbull/coffee). Is someone gonna take charge on planning this trip?
(also, I know its well off topic but i didn't want to start a new thread....I have searched everywhere, but I can't find the guy that was selling the new PSP go's. Anyone know who it was??? thanks)

HTH
I like the sound of all this. :party:
Just my thoughts though, i would really like 2 or 3 days in heaven at the ring, Beautiful towns and mountain passes would no doubt be great but my dreams are of tyre squeal and cries of oh sh*t!!! :innocent: :party: :jumping:
-
I'm just not up for staying a night in the Calais area. I've hardly stretched my legs at Calais!

You have hardly stretched you legs in a crisp bag :signLOL: Only kiddin mine are stumpy too. :laugh:
-
I agree Mr. Cat, I would prefer a little longer at the
Ring Nurburgring :jumpmove: :jumpmove:
-
....
Suggestion only (revised) : -
- 1st overnight in Chunnel vicinity or within easy reach - For those who want to break their UK journey.
- * Day drive to Chur [I'm assuming Chur is on the way to Stelvio] - Early morning Chunnel crossing.
- 2nd overnight in Chur.
- Day drive (via Stelvio etc ?) to Worthersee.
- 3rd overnight at Worthersee.
- Day at Worthersee.
- 4th overnight at Worthersee.
- Day drive to Nurburgring.
- 5th overnight at Nurburgring.
- Day on Nordschleife but could be more than one day.
- 6th / 7th / 8th or however many overnights at Nurburgring - Some may wish/need to leave earlier than others.
- Drive your own way home via Amsterdam or Spa or not < whatever is feasible for you.
We would have to check which days the Nordschleife would be open to us and plan accordingly.
* I suggest we all meet either at the Chunnel terminus Folkestone or at a prearranged services shortly after leaving Calais. Some of us would meet the evening before crossing the Channel.
-
Oh I wouldnt mind this.
Its either this or rust to rome :chicken:
-
Would this be a case of the more the merrier. Also what are your guys other halfs like as high speed passengers? Really need to loose my ring virginity and this sounds like a great trip :driver:

Definately more the merrier mate! You need to get to the Ring mate, I went in October and I have been having withdrawal symptons everyday since! :sad1:
As for the misses, I am gonna hopefully be om my own but if Jay and Joe's ladies come there is no way I will get away with it. If she does come she'll be fine, she knows the point of The Nurburgring is to get you car round in a quick and safe manner so if she has a problem with that she wont get in :happy2:
-
i dont think ill get away with not taking steph now, she reads this thread all the time saying "oh it will be awesome"....."oh if you want me to come that is" lol
-
bring her then as i think my wife will be there and my son too as its going to be awesome :evilgrin:
-
i dont need to tell you to keep up do i? lol
-
i dont think ill get away with not taking steph now, she reads this thread all the time saying "oh it will be awesome"....."oh if you want me to come that is" lol
....How can you possibly even think of leaving Steph behind, Jay!! She's a gem and always seems comfortable with all the boyz and their toyz.
Tell her that if you won't take her then I will! :evilgrin: :laugh:

me too...we need a vote.
As we dont know about tourist days on the ring, we cant do much (for yet) in terms of sorting dates out. We'll just have to hope for the best.
If it turns out there aint no tourist days shortly after worthersee, ill still be going to worthersee and Stevlio! :)

i am fine with driving straight to chur!

....
Suggestion only (revised) : -
- 1st overnight in Chunnel vicinity or within easy reach - For those who want to break their UK journey.what day we starting out?-and i reckon with a tent up in garden we can put up about 10 peeps!!
- * Day drive to Chur [I'm assuming Chur is on the way to Stelvio] - Early morning Chunnel crossing.
- 2nd overnight in Chur.
- Day drive (via Stelvio etc ?) to Worthersee.
- 3rd overnight at Worthersee.
- Day at Worthersee.
- 4th overnight at Worthersee.then julie and i will have to go direct to home wont pass go wont collect 200 :sad1:
- Day drive to Nurburgring.
i am limited to max 5 nites away poss only four so what day do you guys intend to get the chunnel and i can plan my rendevou etc from there?
cheers
matsu

My vote is gettin an early morning ferry tuesday morning. and getting to chur on tuesday afternoon, chilling out a bit after the drive and getting an earlyish night (11-12ish)
So, early ferry crossing (£11 each way!! lol) on the 11th May 2010?
drive to Chur and arrive at about 2-4pm?
-
thats fine by me as i would set off early morning and jump on cheap ferry over and drive through france in one go
id be wanting to leave my house my next bed would be in switzerland
-
chur is further than bordaux in france?! i arrived there at 8pm after a full day of driving......how can we be there by 2pm?? what about strasburg??
-
if i set off from my house at 9pm ish at night, id probably be in chur at 2-3pm the next day, is that too far joe? bordeaux is about the same, but this journey im suggesting will mean all the roads will be dead, which is a live saver.
Well...dead up until about zurich, which is busy but your nearly there then
-
Btw...the total of Swiss and Austrian Vignette's (road tax) should be no more than £30.
-
f*ck that! i aint driving through the night!! il go on my todd! :grin: :P
-
why not you puff? it was well good when we did it!!
here are some pics, you mighta seen em before, but surely it will convince you it will be worth it!! :)

anyone wanna see some of my pics of Chur? lol i feel bad for putting pics up.
Honestly joe, it was awesome to see the sun rise on the empty road, it was one of the best memories from our road trip!

joe? :mad: :signLOL:

nice pics jay!
Ive seen the sun rise plenty of times before...... so il be in bed!! :P

My plan would be to spend a night in Dover (I know a good but very small hotel run by a biker) > Catch 8:30am Chunnel (so I have time for hotel breakfast) > Drive all day to Chur.
And rendez-vous as appropriate en route.

robin O wize one.
Im with you, leave the sick boys to drive the night away! :grin:

im up for that, so you guys will be meeting us in chur then?

id like to all be together obviously, but if the majority dont wanna do the night drive, ill do whatever.
i just need to see who wants to do what,

fair enough, so...the prefered idea is:
monday night stay somewhere in france? or england?
then on tuesday make our way to Chur, then Wednesday make our way to Worthersee via stevlio etc

....Let's see what the others have to say but I reckon that most will prefer that ^.
Whether peeps stay the night near Folkstone/Dover or near Calais, it shouldn't be difficult to hook up at the beginning of the drive to Chur. RV at a big services on E-road outta Calais/Dunkirk.
The next question will be the route to Chur. Through France via Reims and Dijon is less busy and very similar mileage but the French speed cops aren't so sympathetic. The autobahns are faster.
-
i am easy mate on times but would have to stop for my young lad as he does get bored in the car for over 10hours lol but he has a tv he can watch in the car so lets just get some ideas of places to stay first and then we can take it from there i think
-
Ich bin interested also count me in :popcornsoda:
cant leave poverty all alone here lol
-
i'm set on coming, but i cant confirm until were into next year and i can see how the land lies :smiley:
if the mrs comes i might not be heading to the ring, it will be either home or amsterdam
i wont make any requests as i have no idea wether i can come yet, suffice to say driving from cornwall a night drive is just never gunna happen for me so i would need to stop over the night before any channel crossing if its an early one

I am fine with doing what the majority wants, so ill stay an extra night. it wouldnt work with meeting up, as id be passing thru where you would be staying at about 4 AM. you would probably not be setting off for another 4 hours.
Routing thru france:
The tolls thru that route quickly add up, very quickly, i think it would be about £50 just for tolls.
Yep, the police are a nightmare there. The roads are a bit better in france, but i think most would want to avoid the £50 tolls?

=good for me.
i,m only an hour half max away from chunnel so i can get up early to make the 830train
and i,ll have to come straight home and miss the ring trip due to work and kid commitments!
and if anyone travelling wants to crash at mine- few beds and at worst a tent in the garden will end up saving a few squid on hotel for first nite??

cheers for that matsu.
Ferry or Train?
Train = £106 return
Ferry = £22 return?
-
Defo ferry for me as money saved not going on train can go in the fuel tank
-
yep, me too.
the more i think about it, the more i think im going to drive straight to chur and meet people there
-
....
Definitely train for me - I hate the ferry!

Im interested in coming along to this and will probably go by ferry, sounds like a nice road trip :happy2:.
-
:pomppomp:
-
well ferry for me, fook spending that when the ferry is so much cheaper.
Probs set off after work 5pm and see how far into france i get before i stop off,
day 2 to Chur (or could we not do wothersee in 1 trip from France? (havnt looked so dont grill me)
day 3 chur to wothersee.............
Jay youl have a PM soon......
Oh and the tolls in France really do take the p!ss to any route except tolls is great with me! :happy2:
-
Thing is joe, if you finish work and then set off, you mght aswell do it in one hit to chur. If your setting off at 5 you got traffic all the way down to the m25! Your looking at your ferry being midnight, thEn it's half 2.30 ish when you arrive in France, make that 3.30 with the time difference. So then if you get a hotel you'll be checking in at 4 earliest.
Or... You can stay in England. Get a crossing at 6 ish? So by the time you've set off at 4-5 pm Monday woke up and got on to the ferry port, I'll be way into Belgium, probably past brussels. And in would have set of about half 8 on monday night.
-
just spoken to the wife and even she says get to dover early and get cheap ferry out and get past france asap :smiley:

on the Monday? Then stay in france Monday night? It's fair to say that everyones got different commitments on we might not all be able to make it together. If everyone wants to do chur to worther see via stelvio I'd really recomend it. It's a stunning days drive and it's a definate for me.
I'll be doing chur to worther see commencing at about 9 am on the 11th may 2010. Join me if you like!! ;). I'll be heading down in one hit on Monday night at about half 8.
If everyone wants to do the alps, then it's probably best if we meet up during the course of the day on 11th. Or I can see you in worthersee on the Wednesday

id love to do that, but i wanna keep days off to a max of 5 really. :(

The overnight drive after the ferry is good for me Jay :rolleye:
-
^^^^
How have we decided that Monday would be the first Euro driving day?
Are you planning to stay longer than one day (+ a night either side) in Worthersee?
Isn't a Friday evening usually the best time to arrive at The Ring? So we would leave Worthersee on Friday morning - It's fast via Salzburg > Munich > Nuremburg > Frankfurt.
^ That would mean arriving at Worthersee on Wednesday evening latest.
-
saturday is best for the ring as its open all day sunday

VC you'll just have to guess :signLOL:.

theres nothing set in stone at all.
and no, there is no plan, but there will be a plan soon.
im basically setting off on a 2:00 AM ferry on tuesday 11th morning. then ill be heading straight to chur and meeting up with everyone there. If people want to join me, be my guest! ;)
And @ Robin, ill probably have a better idea of when i will be setting off to nurburg when the tourist dates are released.
I would ideally like a one and a half days there, as in two nights, then set off back early monday like last time.

I doubt I can swap either as I have a holiday 2 weeks before to the lakes booked and then 2 weeks after the trip is planned a holiday to Sicily! :sad1:
But I'll try :P

I need a rest already and we havn't set off yet. I am with Robin and joe on the night travel its about 5 hours for me and Joe just to get to the crossing, i cant see the point in driving until i drop then sleeping. :stupid: :laugh:
The main thing for me is getting a few days at the ring when its open, dont think i would go if it wasn't open after Worthese. :happy2:
-
and this all sounded sooooo simple lol :sad1:
can we list the ferry option times and then everyone can decide on which ones they prefer. it might mean we end up in mini convoys till chur and then on masse to the gig?

There's plenty of time to sort out details but it's all sounding as if we can all meet up at Chur (for those haven't already done so earlier en route).
Calais > Chur = 1 day driving
Chur > Stelvio > Worthersee = 1 day driving
? days @ Worthersee
Worthersee > Nurburgring = 1 day driving
? days @ The Ring
Nurburgring > Calais = 1 day driving
Nothing difficult about that. It's down to when and how you arrive at Calais which of course depends on where you're travelling from in the UK.
If you want to cut your days away by doing some night driving that's up to you.

We have drama, excitement, fear and fun oh and joe :grin:
Why not get say 3 itinerary's of different routes and times. pick the one that we each prefer then see how willing we are to compromise and go from there.
Unless we have a set route and time we will just go round in circles.
We will all have to compromise somewhat or madness and confusion will reign. :happy2:

....
There's plenty of time to sort out details but it's all sounding as if we can all meet up at Chur (for those haven't already done so earlier en route).
Calais > Chur = 1 day driving
Chur > Stelvio > Worthersee = 1 day driving
? days @ Worthersee
Worthersee > Nurburgring = 1 day driving
? days @ The Ring
Nurburgring > Calais = 1 day driving
Nothing difficult about that. It's down to when and how you arrive at Calais which of course depends on where you're travelling from in the UK.
If you want to cut your days away by doing some night driving that's up to you.
Yep robin, pretty easy to follow. ill be cutting the first day off, and saving myself some cash setting off on monday night and meeting you guys in chur! Well, i say you guys, thats if anyone bothers! :signLOL:
ill probably be wanting to set off to nurburg on saturday morning.
so thats 3 nights in worthersee.
i could set off friday morning if theres not much to see on the friday?
if landing on saturday, have a nice night in sabine's family place and have a nice steak and a beer, ready for a full day on the ring on sunday.
then set off back monday morning. others might want to stay longer obviously.
-
Right, does anybody not want to do stelvio and the alps?

If you want to reduce your days away from the UK by doing some night driving that's up to each individual - Some will and some won't but it's easy for us to all meet up.

Cheers for the sum up :)
As it looks like there will be a few of us convoying when we get abroad i suggest we get walky talkies to communicate? saves rinsing our phone bills etc and could be a great help? Or does that just sound ghey :fighting:

....No, not ghey at all - TC (the poofter) supplied some on our trip to The Ring. Limited range of course but very useful and provided some hysterically funny banter, especially from stokeballoon! He actually convinced some of us that we had got a 'crossed line' with an official channel.

But no way am i taking all my camping stuff!! lol
I know what you mean mate. It starts off with a small pop-up tent and a sleeping bag, and by the time you set off you end up taking another, Brand-New bigger tent, because it alot better than your old one, and it was in the sale and because you really really did need another tent and new sleeping bags and airbeds and table and chairs and ...............Yep definitely NO camping at all :rolleye:
On another note, I Really do hope as the time goes by and the trip gets closer, that we all come to the same conclusion and that we all drive together in convoy! It will be so much better to go as a group. I really felt quite deflated, when I started to imagine everyone making there own way there.
Hopefully, and I do know its a long way off, but hopefully we can go as a group! :driver: :driver: :driver: :driver:
I would prefer a stay in Dover with all you lot the night before, and then get the early ferry to Calais, but if you lot want to meet early morning at dover ferry port, thats fine too.
I (having recently split with the misses) will probably be on my tod, so I would not be looking forward to driving all the way to chur on my own :sad1:
Still its a long way off and lots of things could change before the trip. Im just glad I can say 100% that I will be going on this trip :jumpmove:
I can't wait.

We will all meet up once the itinerary has been finalized. Once we have the dates of the ring opening times we can make a plan. :happy2:

....Don't worry, mate - Even if it starts off with mini convoys we'll all come together by the time we reach Chur.
You mention staying in Dover overnight before the morning push to Chur - I'm doing that too and I won't be the only one.

Hello All!
Thought i'd better pop up and say hello, been reg'd here ages, but only been a lurker.
Some of you do know me, other will have an idea.
Been meaning to have a read of this thread for a few weeks, since Jay mentioned it to me.
I will be joining you guys on this if you'll accept me and my lowly Mkiv, so you can stick me on any future name lists if you wish :happy2: :smiley:
Im up for the cheaper / day saving option and going straight to Chur... I don't mind night driving, especially if it makes the roads quieter! So I'll be with you if you dont mind Jay / Tom and anyone else.
I'll keep popping back to this thread now anyway, i've alot planned in the next 6 months, so gotta remember to save for this too!

Got back this morning.... EPIC as always! it's all a little bit vague at the minute though - haven't slept since Saturday night... we covered 2700 miles in 11 days....
We took around 8500 pictures which my mate is currently working through and hosting.... :smiley: :happy2:
