We are very excited to announce that R1 are planning a mountain driving trip in Europe which will be hosted by Scott Laurie.
Departure date is Thursday 8 May – Newcastle to Amsterdam Ferry. Return Ferry Thursday 15 May.
Route will consist of: Amsterdam/Austria/Germany/Italy, taking in several mountain passes, circa 2100 miles with two long driving days, circa 450miles on day 2 and day 8.
Scott has had difficulty booking the planned hotels where he was requesting 12 rooms (12 cars / up to 24 people) hence for the initial booking we are reducing the number to 8 cars until we have hotel bookings secure. We may increase this back to 12 cars once he has the first 8 booked.
Booking will be on a first come first serve basis and only confirmed when you provide confirmation that you have booked your ferry. Ferry operator currently offers 20% discount, and it is circa £550 for one car and two adults, varies slightly based on your choice of cabin.
Once we have the ferries /numbers booked Scott will issue details of the hotels for each to book individually. Hotels will be of mid-level comfort with a maximum planned price for a twin room on B&B of 200euro/night. Scott still has to secure these but needs to know we have a definitive number of people attending before he can make provisional reservations.
To confirm booking and for further details please email Scott Laurie s.j.laurie@btinternet.com
