Timbo Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I'm thinking about going to Hamar for the final GP this year. Page and Moy are doing a tour I think and Your Sporting Challenge too. Has anyone been on an organized tour with them or anyone else (Travelplus?), and if so what were they like? Thanks in anticipation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raquelle Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Travel Plus put their "brouchure" in the Speedway Star sometime in January. I went with them to the ill fated Gothenburg GP last year and they were fab at sorting everything out when the brown stuff started to hit the fan.

Timbo Posted January 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Thanks to Sir Matty, Raquelle and Tom Haines for your comments Do you any of you have approximate costs for a GP trip with Travel Plus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndBender Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I went to Bydgoszcz with Travel Plus last year and Katowice the year before. They're not cheap, for sure, but the organisation is superb and it's definately the best way to do a foreign GP if you don't want any of the travel/ticket/hotel hassle. Everything is sorted for you, plus they always throw in a few local non-Speedway excursions which are well worth doing. I can highly recommend them. I think their brochure is in this week's Star. And everyone is right...Bydgoszcz GP is fantastic. Cardiff doesn't come close! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wackie Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Much cheaper if you organise the trip yourself though. Have arrange a GP trip to Prague, 3 nights accomodation & flights for around £150 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Much cheaper if you organise the trip yourself though. Have arrange a GP trip to Prague, 3 nights accomodation & flights for around £150 each Sounds exactly the kind of deal I got myself Wackie - only downer about the trip is having to get a flight at 0620 in the morning. As I said on another topic it just adds to the fun organising it for yourself and you save a bit of cash as well. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Hotel £15 per night Oh to have friends that would tolerate such low-priced accomodation - last time we were in some £100 a night hotel for 4 nights in Prague. At least this time it's looking like it might be down to £60 per night in Prague for the GP. Word of warning Chris, Tomek is seriously contemplating the Golden Helmet weekend Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splatty Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Am I just a cynic or could there be something in the links on SGP site giving travel info for the GP venues suddenly disappearing when the package offers come out???!
