Spitfire2500 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Although we're not in the event yet (no 6 on the reserve list) I'd also be interested in good places to stay.If we get in we'd travel down from Scotland the day before so we'd be looking for somewhere to stay both before and after the run.

Deleted User Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Bill,Let me know what you're doing as far as accomodation is concerned after the event.Not quite sure what we're doing on the way down but it may involve beer, bed and breakfast.McJim.

GT6 John Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Most of us stayed at the Travel Lodge place just up the road from the pub in 2006.Perfectly good place and comfortable and a good price. Quite frankly after 48 hours of driving and very fitful sleep a concrete slab would seem comfortable as long as it's horizontal! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Blimey these Scots are a bit lightweight, come on nowt wrong with driving back to Scotland immediately the event ends!I'll do some research! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick B. Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Hi TimThe danish team are just as soft as the scottish, so please let us know the result of your investigations. RegardsNick (Team #3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Well I have just looked at the Travelodge site, they have a hotel on the A10 at Cheshunt where you could all stay.0871 984 8484 to book. Did'nt check prices!Very near, actually go past the hotel on the Friday night just after one crosses the M25. Not a particulary attractive looking building, well might be if you like squares(?), however as John states all you will require is a bed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferny Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 But who will be the buxom bar maid? The the first skirt wearing forum user to come to mind doesn't really appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
