Boggle Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Also trying to sort Malilla but don't know where to fly to, hoping to go for 4 days so need to stay somewhere where somethings going on. Might it be better to stay in a big city and travel in by train on the day for the GP? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For Mallila last year I flew to Gothenburg, hired a car and stayed in Jonkoping (about halfway between the two). This year I am planning on flying to Norrkoping (Ryanair) on the Sat, driving to the GP and then back to the airport and the early flight home - worked ok for the GP qualifier in Vetlanda last year Not too much in the way of accomodation near Mallila so heading back north after the GP and staying at Norrkoping or Linkoping is your best bet. If you are going for a few days you can probably catch a Swedish league meeting on the Thursday And the German GP, is it easy enough to fly in for that or is it miles away from any airports? Any advice greatly appreciated. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We are flying to Cologne and getting the train to Essen and staying there. Another alternative would be to fly to Dortmund, about 30 mins away. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Bee Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 10/10 for effort but we hope you enjoy it there. All the top riders and fans are going to Gelsenkirchen But Im sure the other place is very pretty - if not a bit quiet!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wasn't even close Thank god Shawn's booking it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed pretty reasonable, get a free match the night before and all tickets, travel etc included . Was going to be £500 through our local travel agent to stay in Stockholm and then you've got train tickets and stadium tickets etc. Cheers Anyway, Bart.

Kermit Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Danish GP (First One Overseas) and British GP for me, can't wait to go to Denmark, trying to sort out for Germany but unsure were to fly to and from. I'm right smack bang in the middle between East Midlands and Birmingham if anyones got any advice ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) German GP is probably one of the easiest to fly to, you can fly to Dortmund, Dusseldorf or Cologne, all pretty much the same distance (Cologne is slightly further). Lots of cheap airlines fly to them so you should find a decent deal, we are flying to Dusseldorf with Air Berlin, £45 each. Check out http://www.skyscanner.net great site to find the cheapest flights. Edited February 8, 2007 by Rob B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that travel agent price is ridiculous, you can fly to Sweden for under £100 easily. We do a lot of GP's because each one never really costs us more then about £150 each.

Travel, front row ticket and hotel in gelsenkirchen £90 the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinstripe Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Friday night - Somerset Premier League Pairs Saturday - Cardiff Sunday - Rye House to see the Bears beat them Rockets <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My plan is: Friday Night: Somerset for Pairs, then town afterwards maybe. Saturday Night: Drink up in Cardiff, be there about 2 o clock, then to the GP, then into Newport town again afterwards Sunday: Chill out with a couple of pints over the Welsh open Hopefully Roo can get time off work and get his Cumbrian arse down for a 3 day drinking extravaganza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno how much I'll be out on the lash then though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
