SES Ring trip 2009

Scott.T · #1 07-11-2008, 10:03 PM

Having recently read that the ring is 4 hours from Calais (thought it was further), I realised it's actually quicker to get to 'The Ring' thnit is my parents house.

Hence this a spurred me on to costing up a ring trip.

The Ring is not open to the public all the time - it's used for all sorts of other things, like manufacturer test sessions, training schools, private hire days, etc. Indeed, the Ring is generally only open to the public on weekday evenings, a handful of weekends and the odd half-day here and there.

So bearing this in mind and also that the 2009 calendar is yet to be published.
I thought sometime like May 09 would be good.

That way a weekday trip with evening outings around the ring will have ample daylight.

Example Costs to get over to Calais are £112 retrun via EuroTunnel on May 13th returning May 16th (these are provisional dates and purley used to get prices).

A Hotel close to or at 'The Ring' is about €45 (single room) or €75 (Twin Room) per night.

Ring Costs are :
2008 Price in Euros Sterling equiv Sterling per lap
Single lap €21
4-lap ticket €70
8-lap ticket €135
15-lap ticket €235

Sounds good to me

Oh yes please. Dover Dunkirk on the Norfolkline it cost less and it makes the journy 20 odd miles closer to the ring

I would be up for this trip, I was planning to go with a couple of mates next year who have an Audi rs4 and a Marcos, so maybe we could tag along.

Looking forward to it

Scott.T · #21 01-12-2008, 08:53 PM

Can't wait to get dates confirmed, I think we need Nige to lead us there to make sure us Ring virgins don't get lost in France/Belgium.

#22 02-12-2008, 06:14 PM

There you go now M3 is no more. [img]http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u321/Bikebloke0/holiday200817.jpg[/img] Mind you i was lucky. As Scot knows i was down on power due to a melted pipe leading to the actuator.

#23 02-12-2008, 09:03 PM

Ring virgin??? How very dare you

Be a good idea, Keith has also done the ring so he can do some leading too. Good to have some experienced ringers along!

Ive only been once! As for getting through France/Belgium I had two sat-navs and my other half reading a map. Belgium was bad. Im sure we will all get there one way or another. The Belgium Police really love Scoobys

cool, looks like its only open to public evenings during the week, but most of the day saturday, all day sunday.

#40 06-01-2009, 11:59 PM

So, to throw a date out there to people.

What about last weekend in May? That way it doesn't interfere with the Bank Holiday?

Suggest that we Leave Friday Morning (29th May) and return on Monday 1st June?

Thoughts?

#41 07-01-2009, 08:52 AM

Im happy to go with the flow. Will need to know asap for my work, as that weekend im ment to be on three night shifts

[i feel a little sick allready]

Will need to check my Le-man's trip dates, but would be potentially up for this...:thumb:

#44 09-01-2009, 11:36 PM

I have sent an email to this hotel for price and availability. http://www.hohe-acht.com I stayed there last year nothing fancy good beds & a better breakfast. It may be helpfull, price wise if someone on here could spraken the deutch.

Ferry price depart 8am 29th Dover Dunkirk return 1st June 8pm £49.02 not bad. If you look on Ben lovejoys site there are plenty of hotels and rooms to choose from. May weekends will get booked up fast so its time to get a move on. Nige

majorscooby · #45 10-01-2009, 11:33 AM

mmmmm sounds good! gonna start saving me pennies

SUBARMAN · #46 10-01-2009, 12:32 PM

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

#47 10-01-2009, 01:45 PM

Shall we go for these dates then and start the booking process?
