Tickets for IMM will also need to be booked in one go aswell, normally by end of Jan/Feb.

We also need to sort out the intended Route.......??

The route is in johnnies hands, I believe the prefered route is Norwich - Harwich, Then Hook down to Belgium (stop over) then down to Germany.

Now the Burger trail is over I'll be throwing all my efforts into IMM 2010 and Crab Run 2010.

Watch this space for info

Done some early research overnight into the Hook is £160+ return, however Dover to Dunkirk is £38 and only a two hour sailing. Would mean an early start from Norfolk (about 04.00) but, the savings could be well worth the trouble.
The route from Dunkirk is shorter on the otherside!!! Looking at an overnight in Koln at a formula 1 (around £30 for a 3 man room) but I recon we'll need to jump in on a booking for that as its a very natural and cheap stop off for the Brits, which has got to be a fair amount of people planning the same trip.

Cheers Johnnie.... i would VOTE for the Dover crossing please.

by johnnie Mon Sep 14, 2009 10:37 pm

Oh and Koln is VERY near the Ring. There won't be a listing for "open" days yet but I'd like to go for a quick thrash, sorry tour round if the chance arises. But, even if the ring is closed the roads in that area were designed for Minis (actually thats probably Beetles but hey "don't mention the war" ehh??)

by mr t Mon Sep 14, 2009 11:36 pm

sounds good to me
whats the rules on the ring
eg helmet ect

by johnnie Tue Sep 15, 2009 7:31 am

Its a toll road so no "rules" as such. Your car just needs to be legal.

Oh, and keeping your wits about you isn't a bad idea!!!!! Heres comes a Ring Taxi Whooooosh............

We're happy to go with the flow so either crossing is fine with us

by **norfolkminis** Tue Sep 15, 2009 4:49 pm

right I've done some tallying up with mileages.

Barton Mills - Dover = 133 miles (approx 3hrs)
Dunkirk - Koln = 188 miles (approx 3.5hrs)
Koln - IMM site = 277 miles (approx 4.5hrs)

Total milage (not including any detours) = 598 miles over 2 days.

by johnnie Tue Sep 15, 2009 4:58 pm

Thats using Motorways I take it?

by **norfolkminis** Tue Sep 15, 2009 5:00 pm

just whacked the places in mapquest so prob yes motorways. gives us a rough idea though.

by **norfolkminis** Tue Sep 15, 2009 5:01 pm

I personally dont want to do anymore than 300 miles in a day. My leg just wont take it esp in a mini lol

by johnnie Tue Sep 15, 2009 5:27 pm

Thats cool Craig I think 300 is a sensible limit

Any preferances for a stop off on the way home?
I thought Brugges on tuesday night but haven't got anything for Monday?

by johnnie Tue Sep 15, 2009 7:08 pm

Just noticed two man rooms in Germany. Still cheap as chips

by cambiker71 Mon Sep 28, 2009 11:20 pm

As i've never managed to drive abroad anywhere, i'm pretty much in your hands, but as you all seem to have a good idea of what is and isn't good can i be cheeky and just go with the flow, if anything needs paying please let me know asap and i'll get it done
cheers all

There's a good chance that Liz and myself will extend our journey back home by an extra day so we can take in the sights of France but will decide that further down the line.

by Ian Nicholls Tue Sep 29, 2009 7:15 pm

The IMM is taking place during the 70th anniversary of Hitlers blitzkrieg through France and the low countries.........

Ooops, I mentioned the war.
