[escosgaz]

been speaking to the old fella 2night and he mentioned nurburgring and maybe a look over there wen my escos is all finished. so thought wud be ideal place to ask and get sum info on getting there, prices, places to stay, good or bad times to avoid or aim to go. just gathering info for now and hopefully get over next year. mike?

Good website is Bridge to Gantry ,loads of info ,calendar ,places to stay ,i have stayed at Sliders guesthouse 4 years running ,very laid back attitude ,run by a Brit ,he can pedal a bike or car quite quick round ring too

weekends are usually open track all day ,but very busy ,weekdays is mostly couple of hours in evening only but much quieter ,look out for old biddies on a coach trip round ring ,yes really

we have had a suggestion of trying to organise a forum trip over there next year, I will be putting something up soon to see if we can all agree on a date to go

I'll join too. The Nurburgring is only about a hour and a half away from me

[Ben Purnell]

looks like we could be onto a winner then, just hope everyone can agree a date, let me get the latest shows out of the way and I will start a thread to gather interest and dates

Ben... If possible try to see if you can include also a weekday date possibility... I know it's much more convenient for everyone to drive on weekend's but going on the turistenfahrt during week is much a more pleasant experience of the Nordschleife IMHO... Just a thought..

[RSRoy]

Don't know if I will be there all days you guys are planning to go but I'll pop by atleast one day


I'm sure Mr.Ford will join me too.

[Ben Purnell]

Nick, Roy, no problem at all, I will get Chas to send out a group email to the thread also to make sure no one misses it to have there say. Promise it will be in the next couple of weeks

[99 JON]

On dates ,i suggest look at B to G calendar and look for weekends when Touristfarhten is all day and stay for at least 1 more day for a evening session too as Nick02 suggests

late summer i reckon for me- best mate is having his stag do in bloody benedorm in may so that'll probably cancel any outing passes from the wife for a couple of months..... but i'm well up for this funds allowing.

Just got back from a trip over there, we go on the DFDS overnight ferry from North Shields to Amsterdam then its about 4hrs down to the ring, we also stop at Sliders, weve known Bren for years and as 99 Jon says he's totally chilled but boy is he quick, other than that Adeneau is a good place to find a B+B and its right on the ring, i would be keen if a forum trip comes off next year

sailing from hull is probably the most central option on P&O's mini cruise boat - again overnight and docks in rotterdam, been on this one a few times now and have to say its a right boat!! (certainly a lot better than the stena sea trader which goes from hollyhead to dublin, which i honestly think will snap in two any day as its that rusty!!)
