2012 SES Nurburgring Trip - OFFICIAL THREAD

Only too late from the fact the hotel is booked up completely. If you are happy booking yourself in at the same hotel as the second batch or one of your own choice, then no problem at all

[Jason73]

Just asked the question, will post ASAP

The choice is yours really, there's a group going on both. Tunnel is quicker.

[Hongkongfooi]

I have changed the cost of the cheap twins as requested by Jackie, as these are 10 euro's a night more expensive. So number 12 & 13 on the list are now @ 62 euro's per night.

moved around the places a bit and moved people up the list as both Sim and me and Greg and Dave H are sharing an apartment at the Hotel close to the track....be rude not to and we are also coming back on the monday due to work commitments on the 29th.

[BIG"E"]

Thats a shame Tim, it would have been good for Greg and Dave H to sample the hospitality of Jaqueline.

The hotel is ideally positioned but one thing is for sure,

It certainly wont be as quite, nor will the food be as good.


Looks like Jason 73 will now be able to join in with the rest of the group which will be good for a newbie.

Mmmm

How do you know the food won't be as good or as quiet?

[Granby]

Did i miss a post about the details for sending deposits??

I don't for sure.

Surely the fact of the hotels location is on the edge of what will be a very busy town as its a bank holiday weekend as it was the 1st year.

I would be very surprised if the food is as good, the standard of Jacqueline's food in the past 3 years has been excellent.

Still lets hope I am wrong.

mmmm stroodle, yummy

Guys each to their own.
Personally i wont move hotel for all the tea in china, just love the comfy being looked after feeling i guess.

Main thing is guys, we will all have a blast and for sure we will all meet up .

Happy Days

One more thing

What great numbers this year.
Realy hope we all meet up for some pics

Absolutely, spend the day with you and at least one evening meal as well so it's all good

If anyone else wants to cancel their rooms, can they please do so this week.

I don't really fancy going back to Jackie yet again cancelling yet more rooms, she moved a lot of stuff around to accommodate us, so I don't want to let her down any more.

It's beginning to look like two completely separate groups now, which is really sad.

I was waiting for Jackie to come back with the B&B Prices first, but the cancellations mean that we don't need the B&B now.

I will post details tomorrow for the deposits.

[Scott.T]

Good to have Tim and co in the same hotel. Can't comment on food, but for us location to the track and being able to walk Into adenau played a big part in the decision. not sure how the quiet thing works ad both hotels are now full.

Me too mate

We will still have a great time though

Being perfectly honest , Im not fussed about others choice to move hotel, as I don't know half of the guys in other hotel, also all my muckas are in jaquies .

Although I would feel very diferent if I had put all the work into the planning of this years trip.

Jaquie has been fooked about loads this year

Good night all

[Scott.T]

Well I've not ****ed anyone about, if anything have helped out and acting as chaperone to the newcomers. If people chose to join us, thats their choice. As jaquelines hotel was partially booked by others, we had no option.

[shorty87]

if you need anyone to fill in any spaces let me know, i've drawn a blank trying to find a hotel so far!

The hotel is now fully booked! But the b&b rooms are going spare now. Have a think and let me know what you want to do

How to fook up a SES Ring trip..... Split the group in 2 over half an hour away from each other...

[Scott.T]

10 Hotels contacted last week, all responded with and without availability. The nearest to jackelin was nurburg, so we would of only been a couple of k's closer then we are now, and have to taxi into adenau from there. So imho where we are was the best and most practical option from what was available for such large groups.

If there hadn't been any availability we would of gone a different week, so the ses trip would of been weeks apart not miles apart.

[majorscooby]

Oh big deal, so were split up.

The odd phone call and we can all meet some where for a drive or a meal, Its not going to get any easier each year as the group may get bigger and bigger.

Im sure we'll all enjoy it.

Too true mate. We will all spilt off and do our own thing anyway.
We didn't even stick together the 1st yeat with a group of about 8 let alone 20+.
It's gonna be a right laugh.

Agreed mate, both years i've been theres been a lot of hanging about in the hotel car park waiting to get ready and for everyone to decide whats going on, its only going to get harder to get organised with a bigger group.

Like its been said, its a 25 min (very nice) drive down to Adenau, and the guys down there are welcome to come up in evenings to Jackies i'm sure. Definately have to have at least one big get together for evening meals, if not more.

I'm happy at Jackies, its a cracking hotel and she sure knows how to look after us. Looking forward to getting our room cards and adding to the drinks tally

agree with my classic colour friend it will be great and we will all have a great time bring it on lets not let distance drive us apart we are a great forum/club let us stand out to europe !!!!

I have to be honest and say that I am gutted that the group is being split up like it is.

However, I can see why it's been done. Especially when you are talking about trying to shoe horn 3 people into a room for 2. That doesn't work .

The issue as far as I was concerned is that Jackie had filled out the hotel, after shifting everything by a week (no-ones fault but GmbH ) and then booked rooms at the B&B for us, to cater for all except for Robs Group. I'm now going to have to go back again and cancel rooms, which doesn't look good. But, hey ho, needs must. Tim obviously needed his own hair dryer

The truth of it is, we all go into Adenau every single day we are there, be it for food, 102 ron juice, pay speeding fines etc. So it really should be no hardship. The group at Jackies will have a great time, we all know what to expect there. I'm sure the other group will have an equally good time down in Adenau. It will give us another hotel bar to have a swifty in too

One thing I would like to try and do if possible, is get everyone to have one meal over at Jackies if possible? Maybe Sunday night???? I hope everyone will agree to that?

Anyhow, lets move on from this and look forward to a great trip away.

Roll on a nice cold stein of Bitburger (or 12 )

Much love and all that

[Granby]

Agreed, it doesn't matter, everyone will have a great time and a little drive here and there won't do any harm :granby:

[Anger]

For me the banter at Jackies and eating/drinking there in a big group is all part of it...

Still say its fooked up and Adrian and myself both said we would share to accomadate more people, so both will be paying fuel bills on our own for what... You lot to then piss off to another hotel

Cant see why im not happy

That's a very good point James. That early evening beer back at Jackies is great. All the banter and the stories over a couple of ales before we crack on for the evening.

It'll be a shame everyones not there to join in with that.

[Kerstin]

Oh dear, this thread has been busy since yesterday. If I understood it correctly I now have a room in Jackie's hotel which is just fantastic. I'm soooo happy about it although also a bit sad because this has become possible only because others have cancelled their rooms. I'm really sorry about the trouble you lot had because the group is now splitting but fortunately it seems as if everything has eased up again now. Let's all look forward to a great time. I can't wait to be in the hotel with you lot and look forward so much to the nice banter. It was so enjoyable last year although I only spent a short time with you there. Can't wait to try the food you are all praising so much either.

@ Worzel: Steve, you're doing a brilliant job. Many thanks for all your hard work.

Thanks Kerstin, that's very kind.

It will be a great trip at the end of the day. It's great staying at Jackies for sure, you will love it there.

I am soooooo looking forward to tucking into a plate of Beef Olive and Veg, with a nice frothy stein of either Bitburger or maybe even some of that lovely Erdinger Wheat Beer!

Happy days indeed

27.05.2012 (So) 08:00–19:30 Uhr
28.05.2012 (Mo) 08:00–19:30 Uhr

That means Nige will be belting along the Autobahns now then!

It is sometimes quieter on the Friday evenings before the made rush.

Get there and straight on.

Thats what I did the 1st year then you don't have time getting nervous

You do however run the risk of blowing your car up rushing down there

Remember, it's a bank holiday weekend, it will be busy all weekend. Friday IMHO won't be any different this year.

You can always fly down with Nige though, while the rest of us cruise down there

Steve mate,

It was very unfortunate with what happened to yours the first year but your scoob is now sorted.

Personally I cant see the point of having 400+ horses and only using 10 of them??

One of the best things about the trip for me is having a laugh on the way and on the way back.

Not being board out your brains driving at 70mph.

I personally think it will be near on impossible to keep everyone together being as there are so many of us.

Perhaps it would be better to have a slow and an even slower group.

[Anger]

I prefer to get there, have a beer and relax

I just want to get their in one peice.
Steady 80 mph for me

Ian, 400 horses and only using 10 has got nothing to do with it really mate This year there will be lots of people who will be going for the first time. You know what it's like the first time you go down there, I will be doing what I can to keep them together, the same as I have every year.

It won't be like when people just piss off and leave others at the side of the road broken down. As some people have done in previous years.

We will cruise down at 80-85 ish, the same as last year and the year before.

You can crack on, if you don't want to go with the main group, that's your choice. I can't see what the issue is really.

I like the option really. May 80/85. Sept 90/100. I'm crap as you lot have found out with my directions. I do like to have a blatt though when we see a Porker or such like. Thing is I'm still lost at the end of the blatt

We will sort It out no probs it will still be a fantastic laugh. We dont want three groups going there or back. Newbies need looking after on route & I don't mean lots of toilet stops eighther ! You will be left behind top gear style. When my turbo bust I had friends there to help & I will do the same for others. Hopefully nothing will happen that way this year. :EVO:

[Scooby_Greg]

With the revised speeding rules in France introduced a few weeks ago I'll be doing Driving miss Daisy speeds!

Top bananas mate, that's what it's all about

There was never any intention of Miss Daisy drives to Germany. It's a case of looking after the group, watching you disappear after the porkers, GTR's, Lambo's etc and waiting for that "where the fook am I" phone call

It'll sort itself out, it always does

I have put Ian's post down to him having a sugar rush or something

The French are the worst ones, although Ian did get a "friendly word" last year from a traffic rozzer in Smellgium

On the unrestricted parts of the Autobahn, everyone will have a blat

The nice policeman was just saying hello nice scoob, and showing me his pretty lights.

The 1st year we went overall was a nice pace,

The 2nd year was very slow, until something fell off the lead car.

Last year was at a nice pace also apart from the person that was drinking a 2ltr bottle of tango. You missed out on that Mr Worzel

We have always in the past started together and arrived together.

As you say things will sort themselves out, if I was not looking forward to this my forth trip I definitely would not be going.

With 22 cars its going to be interesting that's for sure.

I just hope there are not any vehicle failures.

There is a way past that horrible snarl up in smelgium. it's 14 miles longer but much quicker apparently. I thought I had posted it off BTG ??? Will look again. :EVO:

We might be travelling out earlier again this year for a bit of a break somewhere in Belgium or Germany, so will probably meet you guys at Jackies like we did a couple of years ago.

Top man

I really liked doing that last year, it makes that journey so much nicer.

Any ideas of where?

We stopped in Louvan for a few hours after leaving Brussels, that was lovely there.

[Steve_PPP]

We were thinking of Ghent or Leuven (after your recommendation last year) or failing that, heading into Germany to somewhere on the Rhein again (maybe Koblenz). Plenty of options

I'm think I'm going to head to Anterp on my September trip this year, my great uncle who I'm named after died there and Ive found where his grave is in the Royal Navy grave yard, only 18 when he died and was only his second day fighting on the front line

That's sad James

It's a moving thing visiting the cemeteries for sure.

[Anger]

All the info was on the the Royal Navy website and I keep the letter sent to his parents framed in my office

It's a very interesting read on the Navy site,lots of pics as well, I'm really into my war history

The Records Office at Kew is a good place to find things. They would probably have his service history paper too.

Like you, I am well into Military History, WWI mainly, I have been doing some research on Crowborough soldiers killed in the great war and plan to visit the Grave sites in years to come.

Be Careful in France - They are really clamping down.

Last year my bother got caught doing 100mph in a 60 zone, and it ended up costing him approx 4000 euro, and his pride and joy impounded for nearly 12 months, and 2 visits to a court. Plus the loss of the use of the car over what was supposed to be a petrol head driving weekend. And if as a group we didn't stump up 1400 euro in cash on the spot, he would have gone to jail there and then.

So be warned - Things can get a little more nasty than a slapped wrist and a modest on the spot fine.

Exactly Rob. This is why I would rather cruise down there. Like you say, they are really hot on this kind of thing.

I would expect they know it's a long weekend on the Ring so "La Rozzers" will be out in numbers. Once you hit the derestricted Autobahns you can go as nuts as you like. But it's just too risky to go silly beforehand.

Take note everyone

Steve, I just thought I tell you this although the last thing I want to is to spoil you guys' fun. But when you are innocently involved in an accident on a derestricted Autobahn and were doing more than 130 km/h you are automatically be found (at least) partly guilty. The so called recommended speed is 130 km/h at a derestricted section and if you do more than you have to be aware that you will get (partly) blamed for an accident if - for instance - some idiot pulled out in front of you much to closely and you couldn't brake early enough.

Don't get me wrong, I also love the derestricted sections, I only wanted to make sure you guys are aware of what can happen (hopefully not). But maybe you know this anyway.

Thanks for that heads up Kerstin, I didn't know that, so it's good to have in the memory banks.

After 4 hours in the car, by the time we get to the de-restricted sections, most people only have a "little play".
