DreamHack June 16th-19th

A road trip, are you all mental in and around your faces. You're looking at like 4 full tanks and then on top of this ferrys, this will cost WAY more than it would to just get a flight O_o

Point. You guys can take my tower, I'll just catch a flight over.

[Vicious Horizon]

Thoughts: If I could get a car to drive my equipment I would probably fly there.

Ferry is for mugs, euro star or Sea cat to Amsterdam

its more fun though marshy, also ive been looking around the dates of the journey your looking at around £ 40 for the channel tunnel and around that for two people in a car on P&O ferries. And from looking at several sites your looking at around the £220 mark for return flights

Still better than sitting in a cramped car for 20+ hours going, from what was being planned, on the longest detour known in human history. Plane takes about 7 1/2 hours inc. layover which can be cut down if you take an early plane. That extra time can be spent exploring the wonders of Sweden

[Marshy]

British Airways had one on the 15th at like 3am return cheap like £140. I just can't imagine being in a car for like 17 hours driving time, I think it would be fun for about 5 max unless stopping off in amsterrdam were to happen i guess. If there were room and enough intrest I'd come along payin for petrol ferry etc but unless I can be convinced otherwise I'll be enjoying my onflight entertainment next to phantom and oric

its less than 150 miles out of the way to do the nurburgring too.....

On another note I just realissed this might be when im going to florida with uni friends.

Will find out.

I'm totally up for this as long as the price of fuel isn't going to be too much, but surely fuel is cheaper there anyway? I wouldn't mind having to give someone like £100ish for fuel but if it's gonna be more not sure if I can go

Lets base this on my car. if its 2500 (rounded up) miles and we average 40 mpg (room for some fun there) thats 62.5 gallons of fuel.

Thats 284 litres.

At a price of 1.49 / liter thats £423.16 for fuel.

Split between 3 (i cant see us getting more than 3 in a car with computers too) thats £141.

BUT then we have to pay toll charges too (some of which are per person), and i would like a little towards the service cost of doing that mileage from each (about £20 each).

So it would probably easily come to £200 just for use of the car + tolls.

Then if we want to do other things like amsterdam or nurburgring that will be another £20 or so each for a few laps or hatever u want to spend in amsterdam. Then we have food / spending.

I estimate it will be between £300-400 each EXCLUDING everything at dreamhack.

But bare in mind (oric) thats not just for travel and includes all transport both ways.

BUT - the fact is giels and I will both have petrol guzzling cars by then, tho I will be running on LPG most of the time, but that would cost slightly more for my car, and probably twice as much for fuel in Giels.

Effectively if we transport computers n stuff for others if we get a contribution from them then it would be less coz at the end of the day if we took 5 people it would b alot less but we can coz of taking extra stuff.

This is also assuming that im not in Florida (which incidentally is going to cost less than this for the most part xD), which I may well be as we are going in June for 2 weeks as that is the only time we can go.

I lol'd.

[Joe]

I lol'd.

That's funny Oric, we all lol'd when you said we're taking your tower, we will just about have enough room for our own stuff, let alone yours, gl hf getting it there on a plane in 1 piece

Also Piers, if we work it out to be about £400 each (inc dreamhack TICKET) then I'll probs go

EDIT: If I get another job before then I will definitely go as long as there is space for me in a car

[Isphera]

If I recall correctly, I said that if there was space, I would ask you guys to take my tower and pay ~£30 each way for the favour. If it wasn't possible, I said I could take a laptop as a carry on.
