Flights are £89, train is 50 Euros (ish), and I think bikes can be taken as your luggage if the box weighs less than 20kg (should be do-able). If it turns out I'm wrong, it could be up to 70 Euros extra *each flight, *but all the alternatives are so expensive, inconvenient or time-consuming that I'll just suck it up.
If anyone wants to join me, I can put players up at my place the night before departure.
Sorry to keep banging on, but this is what I'm probably going to do. I'll book tomorrow unless someone else mentions or suggests an alternative.
