Yeah, can't see taking your gear as a problem, same for Karl.

Hi guys, its time to start planning our flights/ferries
I need to know who is planning on flying so that I can work out the ferry costs. Let me know.

Ian can get a camper if there is enough people interested, Otherwise we can take cars/vans etc.

Hi all, this is probably the best plan - any other suggestions?
Ferries (Camper or van + Car) + 8 people + diesel for both works out at about 110 euro each

I can get a van F.O.C, but it will only take 3 passengers - so we would need a biggish car to take the remaining 5 passengers. A Camper would sort this problem as it takes 6, but it may add to the cost.

One final option is to take John's van and two other cars - but brings individual cost up to about 140 euro each.

Can i make a alternative option.

Use the van and send all the gear plus 3 people on the boat.
The rest flight. Rent a people carrier . No worries about how to get people to the venue and stuff like that.

Flight to east midlands via ryanair(2 flights a day morning and evening 7 days a week) and Car rental for the likes of a ford galaxy between 6 works out at around 80-85euro if booked now. Say hand over a few quid to sub bringing the gear in the van and to even the cost for all.

[ravens]

Im sorry to hijack your thread,but where do you rent a galaxy for 85euro?
I've payed 100euros (3day rent) for a VW golf at London Luton europcar,but im in time to cancel.
If you know a cheaper rent a car let me know.

[Mugenextreme]

Raven, price is the cost per person for car rental for a people carrier type plus flights. Car is something around 250 depending on the cover and extras for 4 days.
