So who's going then? I had a look at the ferries and I am tempted to book just in case I want to go.
John has given some promising weather forecasts. But there's no guarantee......

Excellent...if Uwe is giving it consideration then the odds on no snow must be pretty high.

Looking at the 10 day forecast it could be wet but I don't mind that. Of course the forecast could be wrong so I will be watching it carefully.

I'm not going to make it. I don't want to rush to get my car ready. I have a rolling road and trackday in April i am aiming to get it ready for then.

hi all, i have been wanting to make this trip for the longest time and i
think i'm ready to commit now. Can someone please advise the best way
to get from London to the ring? Is anyone driving up in a convoy? Or is it
just way too late to get a ferry time on the friday morning?

Look at this site Ben Lovejoys Ring site and go the route as suggested. Print this out and you can't go wrong.
If you haven't been to the ring before , then you'd be wise to read the rest of the site ....twice.

I checked ferry availability last night and a lot of the early ferries on Friday morning are booked up.

Here's a link to a local webcam and weather page . Things are still looking kinda white Local webcam page

Guys, I assume that you are sailing to Calais...

There was an accident there a week or so ago, a loading platform collapsed into the sea! So, they were only opening ONE jetty! It took my brother 7 hours from Dover! They sailed extremely slowly and then circled the port for hours!

Not too sure if it has been rectified as yet, but something to bear in mind...

Tried to find a picture but couldn't.

Ok.Booked a SeaCat for 1000 Thurs the 24th,coming back Monday 28th 2115.

Getting a couple of single rooms is a pain in the bum . Anyone have a lead on a local hotel with singles spare ?

Spoke to a certain member of this site who is staying home and decorating over the Easter weekend and not taking his 2.5L M3 out to play I was going to take the piss out of him for that, until he then told me he would be welding a part for my car at the same time Thanks !

yes! booked the ferry and now it is just driving there and finding
somewhere to stay. Any recommendations? i don't mind staying a little
away from the ring, i expect most of the local hotels will be full by now.

Try Pension Muhlenhardt. They had one double room left this morning. I've stayed here before and the owner and his wife speak good english and go out of their way to help and look after you.It is also one of the best priced places to stay and is actually within the track about a mile and a half from the entrance and half a mile from the main town.

Well then I will! Uwe, you'd better get your butt down there with us! I was forced to take a weeks vacation to hunt for a house and get the V8 back together but I'm blowing it off mid week to head down with Brian. If I can stop looking for a home you can drop the spade and hit the Ring with us!!!
