warby Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 Kristy has replyed to my emails and said there shouldnt be a problem getting us into the SWRT area, I have to get back to her nearer the time. Wicked news as she did'nt mention anything about money so it looks like the only things we have to pay for is the stuff we disscussed in earlier posts. Link to comment

warby Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 If we were to sail from Germany to Finland it would cost.... For the scoob £132 Return For a cabin based on 4 sharing it is £174 per person. What do you reckon about that. Link to comment

warby Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 We need to make a decision soon of which way we are going to get to Finland. Do we drive most of the way then get shorter boats or longer boats and shorter drive. Please read though this thread and post your views. My way of thinking is drive though France Belguim Holland and Germany then boat to Denmark, Drive though Denmark,then boat to Sweden, drive though sweden to Stockholm and ten a 16.5 hour boat to Helsinki. This seems to be the fastest and cheapest way. I think we would have to leave Dover @ around 06:00 on the Tuesday morning and srive as far as we can into the trip then have a rest in a hotel somewhere (plenty of hotels on motorway services) then a early start Wednesday morning as there is only 1 boat a day from Stockholm to Helsinki and that leaves @ 15:00 and arrives in Helsinki @ 07:00 on the Thursday morning. Then just a drive up Finland and should arrive @ Rally HQ @ about dinner time ready for the opening cermonery. Please post your views. Pete. Link to comment
Gumball Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 more driving and less surface skimming is good for me!! but TBH, im happy with whatever you decide is the way forward. Link to comment
warby Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Ok mate thats 2 votes for the driveing 1. Link to comment
warby Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 Dates will be confirmed in 2 weeks for rally Finland so we can sort prices out then. Another question for you all is, the town where the rally is Jyvaskla, the hotels are nearly booked up by all the teams so we have 2 options. 1 do we stay in Jyvaskla in basic accomadation, it has showers and toilets and breakfast with off road parking ( just remember we dont spend much time in the hotel anyway) but we are in the town centre. Or 2 do we stay in lodges which are by the lakes and have swimming pools etc, but is 45 mins drive from Rally HQ in Jyvaskla, but there are in walking distance from service and Park Femme which are together in Finland. I will have prices for the above options in 2 weeks when dates are confirmed. Please let me have youe ideas. Pete. Iam thinking Link to comment
markie Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Got to drive it what a great experiance well thats what we would prefer. mark Link to comment
warby Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 We would have to leave Dover @ 06:00 on the Tuesday morning and stay over somewhere on the Tuesday night, as it is just over a thousand miles from Dover to Stockholm where we would get onto the over night boat to Finland. It is all coming together now and should have deffo prices in 2-3 weeks. Cant wait. How long have we got to wait. Link to comment
markie Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Basic accomadation would do really as we would'nt be there very much only to sleep and freshen up IMO mark Link to comment
Gumball Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 either or accom wise is cool for cats Link to comment
warby Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 Find another option. We can drive all the way to Estonia and get a ferry from there to Finland and it only takes 1hr45 and there are 14 sailings a day. So no need to rush to catch a boat in Stockholm. The only problem is we have to drive though Russia (If thats a problem, i dont know please let me know). Its just over 1000 miles from Dover then 1hr45mins on a boat to Helsinki then a short trip up to Jyvaskla. Just another option. Link to comment
Gumball Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 russia has a terrible economy and i have heard that its a bit touch and go over there. may get car jacked, in all honesty but if it means more driving lets do it Link to comment

Mass Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 personally the lodge idea would be good I think, right next to service and park ferme, just think about the convoys!!! Link to comment
