I dunno how Im going yet?

First its down to who's coming with me, if my mates come then its all good, the road trip is on, if no-one comes then we'll fly but Id rather the road trip!!

If Im driving I'm either going across UK then into France or I'll sail directly to France from here! It depends on the price of the ferry!!

Celtic ferries are supposed to be cheap for a direct sailing out of Rosslare.

@ Wayne, have you decided if your going to Bad Camberg (Brownie points must be high for this one!!!) Also I might need your assistance regarding camping!!! Are you sailing from Cork?

@ Ben, you getting a lift from UK??? Convoy??

Right, my mates jessied out, claims he cant get off work so it looks like myself and Eilish will be travelling alone, so much for the road trip..........

Anyways, I'll ask one more time....

Is there anyone interested in a road trip to EBI, the event that will be the biggest VW event in Europe for 2011, (cant believe thers never interest in UK or Euro shows much!)

Now here's the good/interesting part! I did some research today and went through so old booking contacts and managed to get the 2 ferries, (Dublin - Holyhead and Dover - Calais) for 2 people travelling in a van, return for £324 or €370 all in!!! I couldnt even fly for that with Ryan Air!!

29/06/11 Dublin – Holyhead @ 21.15
30/06/11 Dover – Calais@ 12.15
04/06/11 Calais – Dover@ 11.10
04/06/11 Holyhead – Dublin @ 21.30

We're planning on Leaving Dublin Wed night,driving Down to Dover and crossing into France mid-day Thurs! Its 150miles to Chimay but we're gonna stay in a nice campsite in France/Belguim Thursday, and a short run to Chmay on Friday!

After the show on Sunday we're heading for another campsite before getting ferry to UK on Monday morning, then driving up to Holyhead for the boat home Monday night!! Just Thurs/Fri/Monday off work!!!!
