Mike, sorry I didn't spot your 17:20 suggestion, so went with my original time.

When you get to the ring you need to get a ring card (attached info) which is easy to pick up anywhere from various booths or machines, then you load it with credit for either laps or for spending in the shops on food etc

I reckon fuel will be £400-500, Ferry £100, Hotels Max £80/Night = £400
Plus any car & personal insurance and then spending money/beer money
Prices for the ring are approx -
Single lap €22
4-lap ticket €75
8-lap ticket €145
15-lap ticket €250
25-lap ticket €390
Could be £1200-1500 on that basis max

I worked out my costs from bradford and back will be about £1268 including everything

That cost is based on two people with beer

I have e-mailed Edersee hotel and now waiting for confirmation of booking for two nights.

I can do my ferry booking asap.
Just to be safe, if you're driving to Calais from Edersee, I'd book a later ferry back on the Sunday. Bear in mind you are going to be driving for 6 hours , that means leaving very early to guarantee your arrival at Calais for 16:00.
