Tourney: UK Champs - NS - Edinburgh - 16.7.11 - 17.7.11

7 seats. Take out the rear 2, storage for 4 bikes.

Like so?

I'd drive (if I can get insured), don't mind not drinking.

Megabus could be an idea. They don't have the best luggage policy though I'm not sure they would care if it was in a bike box.

To drive something that big, in fact, most hire cars, you'll have to be 25+

If you can do pick up and drop off you can get it for two days maybe? (pick up friday, drop off friday; pick up monday, drop off monday).

Bill, do you mean 5 total (with 2 seats out?) or 7 total? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

5 total (taking 2 of the 7 seats out).

Yeah I thought that would probably be the case, just putting it out there though.

i'd be up for sharing the drive with you gabes (think we talked about it at HH?).. though only if everyone promised not to be rowdy..

i am easily distracted.

Diesel or petrol? I only ask because the Galaxys are petrol, and the mpg is terrible (or at least, that's what the drivers always tell me!)

Driving to this makes sense, driving to Lille was easy/fun... I imagine Edinburgh will be similar.

Last time we got a nice Audi Diesel Estate, pretty cheap to hire and good MPG. It took me 30 minutes to work out how to turn it on though, embarrassing times.

I'm well up for this.

Degen need a nominated driver.

Might be worth getting my license again. :/

Do it!

Lille 280k. Edinburgh 650k

We'll pay.

Can't J drive?

Rough calcs suggest petrol will be about £130, Diesel around £95 (return journey), although I imagine actual mpg figures are 10%-20% worse than the manufacturers suggest so add some £ on to each of those numbers.

Driving is a great way to travel, last year I did Geneva Twice, once via Karlsruhe. And Rouen twice. It was great each and every time.

Road Trip ftw

Will the LHBPA pay for me to do a PGV license, then I'll drive a 53 seater.

ha!

^^ a worthy investment i feel.
