7 nights in PRAGUE September 2012 (official thread)

YIPPEEEE, IT'S BACK, The BRISKODA trip to Prague

If you want to join the official Meet it starts at Dover Ferry Port in the early hours of Thursday 13th Sept and Finishes at Dover again for about midnight Thursday 20th/Friday 21st. (so make sure you book that time off work ) To Include the Nurburgring we have extended the trip by 2 nights so getting a ferry back to UK on Saturday 22nd September

I have just booked the hotel room for me and Paige, and everyone should all book the same hotel.

http://www.hotelolsanka.cz/?locale=en - looks like a proper communist block hotel, but seems quite nice inside.

I recommend you find a group of 4 of you and booking a 4 Bedroom option, which is 2 Double Bed rooms sharing a bathroom and Toilet.

If you are also driving you can park in the secure underground carpark for £10.80 per car per night

The 4 bed option plus parking 1 one car for the 7 nights Arrive 13th Sept and Leave 20th Sept costed £400, prices may change if you dont book early

Oh yeah it has a Bar and Tram Stop right outside

Ferry details:

Depart: DOVER to DUNKERQUE 13/09/12 02:00 am BST

Return: DUNKERQUE to DOVER 22/09/12 20:01 pm Euro Timezone (i think)

and it only cost me £55

(I will update the first post as I gain more details)

Im going

[Leon-y-k]

gotta get some cash to book before I can put my name down i guess!

[sharkrider]

just add my car to list tigger + ash , can, and sam

[devonutopia]

a 4 person -2 room sharing bathroom thing works out quite good value when split out. 60 euros less 10% discount = 13.50 euro each!

[octimark]

On a side note, Ive stayed at that hotel before and its very good all things considered. It's no 5* fancy pants hotel but its a good location, easy to get around Prague, clean, functional, onsite bar and restaurant and secure parking.

I dont think you will be dissapointed with Will's choice

[Tigger_1979]

Please post in this thread if you want to come along but are looking for a car or room share

[devonutopia]

OK, I will knock the Nurburgring on the head this year (was planned for May) and show more interest in this. I want to take my car so looking for a passenger (only 1) between Devon and Dover and happy to share a 4 person setup to save dosh - I will cover the secure parking though.

Hotel booked

Kool I'll update the 2nd post

[devonutopia]

are all the +2s being kept secret?

Just done a budget and it looks like I'll need £315 just for fuel (which might be split a bit I guess)

The hotel bill of £105 for an entire week is looking good though! I don't want to book anything though until I know of a passenger for the mongrel (and driving ) and room setups.

Defo going on this trip if Nurberg is involved, just booked the time of work and waiting for the misses to book her time off! How are people goin about booking ferry tickets and hotel, have you just booked them straight of the website????

I will book with norfolkline nearer the time. Usually £50 return for anti-social hours.

Hotel will be booked once I establish the rooms / attendees setup as keen to a) take a passenger (who'll get to drive the mongrel a lot too ) and save room by using the 4 beds/2 rooms/1 bath setup.

Tigger has said he is going to sort out ferry's nearer the time as he wants some details and conformation from people first with regards to the hotel this is the link http://www.hotelolsanka.cz/?locale=en its on the basis of 4 beds/2 rooms/1 bath setup share so buddy up to save on cost x as soon as you have the share book it and let us know ur booked up so we can add you to the list

[Tigger_1979]

Skoda Factory, Museum and hopefully prototypes is a definite trip, I just need to arrange a day with them, once I have a numbers of confirmed trippers.

I am planning a couple of stops across europe, just off ferry, before Germany and Czech border. Other than that it upto you where you go
