Joanne Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Next GP is Copenhagen. Had a link to directions to Parken from the centre of Copenhagen a while ago but gone missing when we changed to broadband. Anyone have any links to maps for me? Also any tips on Copenhagen would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Next GP is Copenhagen. Had a link to directions to Parken from the centre of Copenhagen a while ago but gone missing when we changed to broadband. Anyone have any links to maps for me? Also any tips on Copenhagen would be appreciated. Thanks Joanne, Try http://www.nbi.dk/TOOLS/Cph-map3.jpg - Parken appears to the north of the town. For other info I always check out www.virtualtourist.com - you get info from travellers on all aspects of the town as well as the locals opinion of their own town. One other tip though. Be careful if you bump into two blokes called Tomek and Rico, they're trouble If you read yahoo groups speedway list you'll know what I mean :evil: Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted June 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Thanks Rico. You don't know how far it is, do you? And what form of transport I should use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanne Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Joanne: Parken is not very far from the centre of Copenhagen, so i think the easiest way for you to get there, would be by taking the bus from Radhuspladsen. Or maybe a taxi...shoudn't be too expensive.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted June 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Tak Hanne. Are you in charge of pre-meeting drinks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Joanne, At the moment we are going into this one a little blind. I have done a bit of reading on virtualtourist.com but haven't prepared for the trip as thoroughly as I would normally. Sometimes a little adventure doesn't go amiss. We are staying at Ibis Copenhagen Crown Hotel, which appears to be quite central, travelling out Friday morning, returning Sunday afternoon. Give me a shout if you fancy a couple of pre-meeting drinks with some scary (we aren't really) company. Always nice to put a face to a name. Regardless, have a great time.

Joanne Posted June 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 You're travelling on Friday morning :?: It's not early morning from Stansted, is it :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 You're travelling on Friday morning :?: It's not early morning from Stansted, is it :?: No Joanne - we gave up on Stanstead after some long long journeys there and back last year - we are flying from Heathrow to Copenhagen with SAS. Only a 40 minute coach run to Heathrow from where we are. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Rico, Great minds think alike ! I think I'm on the same plane (both ways) and staying at the same hotel. Are you on easyjet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Rico, Great minds think alike ! I think I'm on the same plane (both ways) and staying at the same hotel. Are you on easyjet ? Doc, Our flight is 0945 on Friday morning from Heathrow to Copenhagen - flight is operated by SAS. Returning Sunday around 1500 hours. We still haven't sorted our stadium tickets out yet though - no panic I'd imagine ! Sounds like an official forum meet may be in order !

Shalewhale Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 better arrange it quick then, cos I'm off to Copenhagen on Thursday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Oops. Just re-read the thread. Looks like I'm on the same flights as Joanne and the same hotel as Rico. Beer ? Count me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the 7.15 am flight from Stansted. Just look out for the mad Scottish woman Looks like our Forum get together is getting bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted June 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Just changed my hotel. At least I can use the powder room in the middle of the night now. Still in Central area and probably in the same street as Rico and Doc. Starting to look forward to it now Hanne, are you up for a forum meet? We need some Danish lessons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that is going, would it be unreasonable to suggest meeting in the bar of the Ibis Copenhagen Crown Hotel, say around 7pm on the Friday evening. All I can say about recognising me is that allegedly I look facially like John Postlethwaite of BSI (I don't necessarily subscribe to that theory) - I will wear a t-shirt with a big "73" on the front. Given that I don't really know anywhere in Copenhagen I am at a loss to suggest anywhere else. If anyone else can think of anything better then feel free to shout.

doc Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Rico, do you mean the Ibis Star ? There doesn't appear to be an Ibis Crown ! I'm in the Star and will meet in the bar at 7pm. What am I saying - I've just agreed to meet some Scots for a drink in a bar where the beer is not cheap. I think I'll bring some extra Krone...

Doc, It's definitely the Ibis Copenhagen Crown Hotel - check www.copenhagen.the-hotels.com/ibis-copenhagen-crown-hotel.htm or www.hotel-booker.com/dk/copenhagen/crown-hotel-copenhagen.html If you put Ibis Copenhagen Crown Hotel into a search engine it finds it no problem. Don't be scared of us Scots - its the bloke from Northern Ireland that will be with me that you need to worry about Rico :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 I'm confused ! I used the Ibis web site and they only list a Star and a Triton. Maybe there are 2 Ibis chains ? Anyway, I'll find the Crown and meet you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted June 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Maybe we should meet up at the Carlsberg factory. Free samples Only joking Will see you in the Ibis Crown for 7pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
