[Adele AW]

 Were taking the car this year, although i may have to fly home to beback in time for work, but Steve and Steve can drive home !

[Lids]

I think I have almost convinced Rach that i should be here in August, she is off camping with her girlfriends in May, obviously I didn't put up a fuss, so she has to return the favour

Welcome to Norway and SCC. Let us know if you take the ferry from Newcastle to Stavanger, the RoRo boat from Hull to Brevik or the trip Around Europe.

Hey Guys, Thanks!

Newcastle to Stavanger no longer runs. We have a couple of options, Immingham ( 45 mins from our house ) to Brevik, or Immingham to Copenhagen. The only difference between driving is Time versus Money!

Both Ferries are around £1400 for two people return, and an extra £320 return for every other passenger. The ferry is approx 32 Hours. It also includes, food, drink and a cabin.

Driving it would cost us 3 days there and 3 days back ?? and i estimate around £500 in fuel, £100 Dover ferry, how much does the other ferry cost ?


Also, what are the details for the hotel near the track ? Thanks!
Thanks!

Dam, I`m getting old. Of course you`re right about the Newcastle - Stavanger ferry. Sorry bout that But the ferry terminal in Stavanger is brand new and I know they plan to re-open the UK service. Let`s see what happens. The Hull - Brevik ferry charge pr meter but it takes a day or two if I remember correctly. But then again, Brevik - SCC is only a two hour drive.

The last time I spoke to Martin about that he was reckoning on rolling into Mantorp sometime late on the Friday afternoon.

Then I guess he will have that track all by himself that weekend....

Hahah!

I still cannot decide the best way of travel

Forgive the lack of knowledge here  , but if you drive through to Denmark, what are the ferry options to Norway, and what kind of prices are they ?

Thanks

Thanks!

If you can manage it and have got the gear, I'd recommend camping at the track. It not only saved me the cost of a multi-day hotel stay, but it allowed me to experience the SCC event 24x7. Also, SCC had a full bathroom/shower setup last year, so staying at the track was no worry.

IMO, there was nothing better than being right in the middle of things all the time, and waking up to the sound of VW engines in the morning was way cool.

  i dont want to end up in poland!

Any ideas when you will be setting off and getting back ? Time is more of the essence for us.
Just checked Hull to Rotterdam and then Copenhagen to Oslo, can do everything in a week, but total cost for both ferries is £1200 and thats not including any bloody petrol! Be cheaper to do the ferry direct to Brevik at £1400, with only bit of driving the other side.

What ferry do you get ?

You should definitely forget the ferry from Copenhagen to Oslo and drive instead. Cheaper and faster. Or just hang on to Richie all the way, as he know the way blindfolded 

We recommend this hotel http://www.choicehotels.no/hotels/hotel?hotel=NO014&language=en-gb for those who want to stay at one, and there is several others in the area too. But as Eric says, to experience the SCC spirit 100%, you have to camp at the site.

(And this year we will have a absolute silent period between 01:00 and 06:00 to ensure a minimum of sleep for our racers. This will be guarded by our two "gorillas"  )

BTW; the tickets and depot spaces are available for booking very soon at http://www.sccevent.com

Looking forward to see you racing at SCC Adele!

Last year we (In Aircooled's so sitting at 65mph or so) we did dover to dunkerque (Cheap was £50 return)

Then drove to Coppenhagen (dilly daddled on the way there took DAYS, but on the way back we left Coppenhagen at 10:30 am and by 10 pm we were well into Holland, By 3am we had made it to 70KM from Dunkerque, and i drove that SOLO, even with lee offering (sorry fella), if you share driving i reckon you could easily get there driving in 18 to 24hrs.

Coppenhagen to Oslo ferry was £250 for 2 people and a van return was nice to have a shower, meal and entertainment on the boat and arriving in Oslo up the Fjord was beautiful, (If your a TOP GEAR fan, it's the same boat that Hammond and May were on (it's a party boat) when they raced against Clarkson driving the SLR Mercades).

we drove the long way round through Denmark so had the Toll bridge at 35 euro but that does avoid the puttgarden rodyn ferry which i seem to remember when looking at it cost enough for me to avoid it!

I regret not driving through Sweden and Norway but lots of people said we didn't miss too much,

Cost me about 8 to £900 in Fuel, i gave up counting eventually but that included my racing, dicking about and generally having a heavy foot with 44 webers

Drive down south and Follow Richie i reckon is your cheapest option and won't take nearly as long as you think it would!

Hope this helps,

Cheers

Alex

Just a little extra thought check out UltraVW this and next month our adventure from last year should be in it

[richie]

By the way its cool to see more Brits making the effort this year - Trust me ITS WELL WORTH IT!!!!!! I am sure we wil see a few more after the new Ultra comes out 

I have a very rough plan for this year which includeds Driving all the way again but this time I'll be in my Mk3 Golf estate (Diesel/400miles per tank) with the manx on an A Frame - I might race it but it will just be cool to have it with me (and for the Show and shine ) oh yeah and a little cruz around Oslo 

I have had a quick word with Alex/Jesus and he is coming with me (hopefully) and I am sure I can fit one more in (maybe 2 if needed)

By the way anyone know the "Cage Regulations" for a Buggy WITH a hardtop that is running Low 15's/High 14's

Sounds like a cool plan Lee
This year we are determinate to make a buggy/offroad track also at SCC, so then you can take your Manx for a spin in the forest also.

The E.T. rules states that "soft top" cars must have a rollbar, but I`m not sure if your hardtop goes as one or not. I will look it up for you.
