Its what they told me. Left me wondering, but being a trusting sort I assumed there must be some sea to see.
I guess something got lost in the translation, bit like the ballet washing

Perhaps there's a picture of the sea on the wall

Have a read of the thread above to give you an idea.

Last year it could be summed up as FRI: drive there, got ****ed; SAT: drive out in massive convoy, eat lunch still feeling a bit hungover, drive back to hotel, BBQ and few drinks; SUN: up early, drive to Nurburgring, arrive in the ****ing rain, drive a few laps, survive, meal and drinks in the evening; MON: Visit Ringwerks before driving back to Calais for evening ferry.

Loved every moment, couldn't wait to go back, so a few of us went back over in April to drive the Nordschliefe and we are all going to Edersee again next month!!

Sorry guys but I can no longer make this - very disappointed
before I start cancelling hotels, does anyone need either
a) Hotel at Edersee for 2 nights for the owners club meet or
b) Premier Inn at Dover East on the Thursday night before the ferry goes early friday morning?

Ive spoken to Mike and the Apartment is still housing a few of you at the Nurburgring so I am leaving that one with Mike if anyone needs space there.

Let me know asap as I will need to cancel other hotels in the next 3 days, especially the Edersee one.

OK, I think I now have the definitive list of those attending:

Reffro
DarrenJoe90
Notorious
tonupkid + Tris
Just_Ben

We've all booked our accomodation at Dover (not me, as I'll drive down from Watford in the early morning), ferry tickets and hotels in Edersee. The only thing as I see it left to sort is the stay at Adenau.

As you will see from Mike's post at the top of the thread, we have all the rooms we need, My question is how do you want to adjust it.

We could go with:-
1 Twin - Reffro
1 Twin - DarrenJoe90
1 Apartment (sleeps 6) - tonupkid +Tris , Ben

Or you could save some money to put toward a tank of Ultimate 102 and shrink it down to one room and one apartment:-

1 Twin - Reffro
1 Apartment (sleeps 6) - DarrenJoe90, tonupkid + Tris, Ben

I offer this option as I snore like a pig and you really don't want to share a room with me & I'm happy with paying for a room by myself.

Let me know what you think please and I'll call Eddy to confirm what we will do.

Well, Tris & me are ok to share a twin.

If you have any idea of the cost for the apartment and the hotel rooms, it might help

Do you have an address too please. I like to know where to point the car in case we get split up
