[Ettienne]

Your thoughts please

Ettienne plus nicci and Evie (will have to be a half term)

[V70 Graham]

Dependant on dates etc, we'd quite like to go.

[stephenevans99]

[oblark]

Pencil me in for this.

[hemihusky]

I fly it's £50-70 return, but don't let me put off drivers as we could always meet up out there and make if no one objected use them to get around (not that you do much driving).

It will take some organising, I'll look into it.

Just a list of interested peeps and if flying or driving

I can't promise the same as last time, Jonas wespelanger no longer works in customer services.

[Saaamon]

Yeah I'm up for this, would want to drive though.

[JamesT5]

Driving to Sweden would be a real trek and what if a car breaks down? I'd be so tempted by a trip like this though if the price was right.

[stephenevans99]

Driving was my preference, but since they've stopped the Harwich to Esbjerg route it'd be a proper trek, Rotterdam to Gothenburg is about 800 mile or 11 hours :O

Get it repaired then carry on..

Rough costings based on my own car, from north essex £400-500 fuel, £250 harwich night crossing, (very roughly) £160 bridge tolls, although I'd probably get the ferry out of Kiel to gothenburg as the extra cost is what you'd spend on a hotel anyway, then £1000 min for hotels and living for 2 people for 4-5 days.

I found a hotel central gburg, £60 per night with breakfast, very nice hotel too.

I'm interested, always fancied visiting the museum

Driving or flying I'm not fussed, the drive appeals but also the ease of flying does have it's benefits I guess

I didn't know your car can fly as well......

Better set off now then.

Better set off now then.

Do it in a day if you double drive. 1000km a day is comfortable though.

Harwich to Esbjerg crossing has been cancelled You'd be looking at driving from Rotterdam which works out at 800 miles to Gothenburg.

£60-75 return flights from standstead, where we flew from.

My costings are based on harwich to hook of Holland, then Kiel to Gothenburg. Real shame about the esjberg ferry, was planning a trip to Gothenburg before it was mentioned on here but this has put me off now, although i'll go if we're doing a forum trip.

I've done Woking to Benidorm (1300 miles) solo in 19 hours, so as you say 1000 kms no trouble at all.
