UPDATE FOR NOW
BMW are just trying to put together a trAckday either side of the Munich dates so just holding out for them before going mad.

I have copied relevant posts from above so this post summarises where we are.
Quote:SUMMARY
Ok, so the provisional dates are 25-28 May 2013 (Bank Holiday weekend in the UK)

Munich days within that are Sunday 26th and Monday 27th May with travel and trackday(s) being arranged for the 25th or 28th or both.

I am currently looking for hotel options in Munich for 2 nights for a group booking, arrival late saturday 25th and depart late afternoon on the 27th

SO BOOK THIS OUT IN YOUR DIARIES NOW and look out for the new thread when i get my BMW reply and my act together

Provisional CSL Attendees (65 maybe, 2 unlikely, 8 other cars)

@ The Irish guys

From last experience I would avoid big convoys, pref less than 5 cars but definitely keep it under 10.

Just for your info my plan is to arrange from dinner Saturday 7pm in Munich say to around Tuesday 6pm after the trAckday where we go our one separate ways.

That means smaller groups can arrange their own travel to and from Munich/Saltzburg from those times after the New Year (I would not book anything that is not changeable until then). Groups can rrnage to drive out Friday and do the Ring Saturday or do a Euro trip after the trAckday, alternatively travel out direct Saturday via Chunnel or the Hull Love Boat and travel back overnight to get to work.

I would recommend that each group/area set up their own thread in the Events section.

Has anyone had any thoughts on what route to take? Would the plan be to go via the UK and meet up with the Engerland etc. guys and travel together to Munich?
Niall

[chrisburns]

Niall as per Jonnys post in the other thread hull rotterdam is definitely the way to go from Ireland. Snag is this, Overnight boat plus we miss meeting up with the troops in england, which I would imagine will be an experience in itself. Shimmy post makes sense with the non mass convoy but having done a cannonball amongst other things driving in a large pack is a joy to behold :-D

Once we have confirmed numbers from Ireland I think it would be a good idea for us to shop around a little for prices and deals that might be achievable.

[3wheels3]

Could be on with some from North England. Love boat from hull to rott/zebrug ain't so bad. Not 100% going & will check back in here.

[Neil M]

Hello Boys, couldn't help notice your posts, I see you're considering the logistics of the forthcoming event, which are going to take some sorting. Where are you thinking about going from Belfast/Heysham or Dun Laoghaire/Hollyhead.

Wherever, you've certainly got some driving to do, just to get to Hull approx. 4hrs on this side of the water, presuming the latter: A56, M56, M62 and then it's back on a boat.

I think there may be some fragmentation of the convoy concept when you consider other member from Scotland, North Wales and the North of England doing a 4/8hr drive South, it could be that you will be meeting up with the Northerners on the M62, it's early days yet, know doubt 'shimmy' (the management) will post something indicating what he's got in mind.

[shimmy]

......... know doubt 'shimmy' (the management) will post something indicating what he's got in mind.

no i fucking wont.........ive got enough to do to not worry about which fecking motorway services to meet up at.;)

BE IN MUNICH 7pm ON THE SATURDAY everything else is down to you guys either by your loansome or in packs.

Ill be going I guess via the Chunnel but im NOT having 52 CSLs behind me in any sort of TRAIN :hahaha:

That’s the way to do it Shimmy, be there at a set time, how you get there is up to you!

Group bookings for hotels etc but travel arrangement up to the individuals, I remember going to the car shows in England years ago & it would’ve demented the most sanest of people, you’re going to fast, to slow, some dickhead would get left behind at a set of light...

Max of 3-4 cars together of like minded drivers.

I would make the first meeting point the ferry terminals, channel tunnel crossing etc.

If we were going to Hull it would be A75-M6, of at Penrith & over to Scottish Corner then down the M1.

Have the boys from the dirty south looked into the Rosslare crossing? I went with a girl from Wexford & its pritty accessible this end, not sure what time/miles it would save but cuts out England.

I normally don’t plan this far in advance for anything but my only sister is getting married soon after & I would cut my own throat if I wasn’t there for whatever reason! However pencil me in at this stage.

[bryce]

I'll can catch the Irish convoy on A75 if thats alright - then presumably the rest of the Scottish lads on M6 / A1?

You car isn't that fast Shimmy :hahaha:

[3wheels3]

Just a thought to make it easy for the hull love boat crew. Arranging a time to all meet on board at Langan's restaurant/brass gaff is easiest surest way we all meet up.

[LeinsCSL]

Well I'll probably head from Dublin to Holyhead, then straight over to Hull and meet up with whoever else is going from there

Niall, Shane, Barry - presume you'll probably want to do the same? We could look into getting some sort of group-booking discount through Stena or Irish Ferries maybe

Are we aiming to get to Munich earlier on the Friday or just for the Saturday? Stop off on way down somewhere?

[J13NY S]

I'll can catch the Irish convoy on A75 if thats alright - then presumably the rest of the Scottish lads on M6 / A1?

Shall station outside Dumfries on the A75 handy as any.

[sailorbaz]

I'll probably be heading over to Stranraer then onto Hull - Rotterdamn. I done the Hull -Rott from Scotland and it's handy enough. Saves driving all the way through England and there'll be enough of us from Ireland, Scotland, Northern England and maybe Wales to make it a bit of craic if nothing else.

The overnight ferry can be a bit of a laugh for sure, get on board early enough for some beverages and nosh and you're flying... or floating as the case may be.

You obviously haven't done it with Curly and Wheels then :-D

Road Works Ahead - Don't forget gents there are 15mls of road works on the 62 with a speed limit of 50mph. which is being strictly imposed around Wakefield (Jct's. 25 to 27) by the 52 speed cameras that have been deployed for our convenience.

These works are not scheduled for completion until 2014, so delays are more than likely :bigcry: We don't want the Highways Agency getting a CSL revenue stream - do we? :whistle:

[LeinsCSL]

They'll be doing well to read my reg plate ;) But noted anyway, thanks!

Woops. I came through them in a hurry for Liverpool last month. The ticket's are probably in the post to the previous owner.. ;)

@ Jeff. Hollyhead and M62 on is probably the easiest route. I presume we'd need to overnight from Hull then on the Friday.

Yep, sounds like a plan Niall. There's the Stena ferry that gets into Holyhead from Dublin at 11:50 on Friday morning

Is Rotterdam to Munich realistic in a day?

Who care? It'll be some craic trying though, :thumbs:

True enough, will just have to stock up on Twixes to keep me going inbetween fuel & food stops ;)

[sailorbaz]

At the rate we might be going, could be stopping every two hours for fuel. Coffee only! Chocolate in the car, tut-tut naughty boy lol

[Mark CSL]

How easy is it for you lads to get to newcastle and we could do the overnight ferry to amsterdam and have a few beers ?

[shimmy]

Is Rotterdam to Munich realistic in a day?

longest i have done on a euro trip (distance, not time, blody traffic jams) was Hertfordshire to Nyon which was 160km + 750km = 910km and took 9.5 hours. I did 1.5 hours to Eurotunnel, 2 hours to fuel stop and 6 hours non stop to Nyon.

Rotterdam to Munich is about 830km so i reckon about 8-9 hours. If your ferry docks in the morning, youll be there in Munich for 7pm just bearing in mind you have the autobahn most of the way so you can go faster than we did, (although not much):thumbs:

Bit too far north for me anyway I think. It's pretty much due East from Dublin to Hull

Looks like the ferries get into Rotterdam at about 8am, so that's not too bad

Perfect, this ferries overnight are good value as you get a room and a sleep and start the dring at daybreak as well. I did the Harwich-Hook last year On the way to Zandvoort and saved me 3 hours driving and £100 hotel.

For us getting the ferry over from Belfast to Stranraer it wouldn't be so bad, Hull or Newcastle, 6 in half a dozen really. Where does the Newcastle ferry run into? Rotterdam?

I'll probably be looking into this Next time home wih her indoors and when we know what she's working and when we can head out.

Iirc, Stranraer to Newcastle is around 3 hours, maybe a tad more if you don't get nailed by the rozzers, 81 in a 60! Gay I know but that was average over 11 miles before they caught up with me... I know, wasn't going fast enough if they caught up with me, :lol:

Ijmuiden (Amsterdam)

[Neil M]

I've been having a look at the logistics of getting across to the continent.

If you choose to travel the Hull Amsterdam route, it's an overnight (10hr.45min) crossing, departing Hull at 8-30pm. and arriving in Amsterdam at approx. 8.15am. the following morning.
The cost is approx. £238 based on; car, driver and passenger, this includes a 2 person cabin. http://www.poferriesoffers.co.uk/

The DFDS ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam is again overnight, considerably cheaper (on a quick look) but adds approx 4hrs to the crossing time departing at 5.30pm. and arriving at 9.30am. (Late start for the journey to Munich) http://www.dfdsseaways.co.uk/ferry-routes/holland/newcastle-to-amsterdam/

Either route leaves an 8hr. drive on the other side to Munich (so a fair bit of sight seeing involved, albeit fleeting)

Conclusion:Arrive Munich 6/7.00/9.00pm. Totally knackered.:partyman:

P&O go from Hull - Rotterdam too, which is a bit further south than Amsterdam. Not a huge amount in it, but possibly knocks off about 30mins on the journey

[Neil M]

I think it will be swings and roundabouts, I did have a quick look at that as an alternative, but being further south will involve a longer crossing time and in consequence a later start 9.30/10.30, but a little less driving time as you said.
However that might put us in Munich much later than anticipated via the Amsterdam Route.

Whatever route is decided there's one thing for sure - we'll have to hit the ground running to make Munich before bedtime :hahaha:

No probs for me Mark. Saves us (scottish/irish side) 100 miles or 200 round. Also, really like the idea of some beers. I'll go with the flow however.

How much of the other side is on the 'bahn by the way?

Takes about 2 hours to get across Holland either from Ijmuiden or Rotterdam and into Germany and the pretty much onto the Autobahn although a lot of it is not derestricted.

[bryce]

Iirc, Stranraer to Newcastle is around 3 hours, maybe a tad more if...

3 hours should cover it easy Baz. Stranraer to Dumfries 1h15 - Dumfries to Newcastle 1h30.

Sounds good, but will need to see which route the other Irish Contingent want to go for. I'm for Hull or Newcastle, haven't priced anything but think Belfast - Stranraer and then Hull - Rotterdam is the most cost effective for us from NI.

Meet you on the ferry in Hull for beers then Baz :beer:

[sailorbaz]

Aye, sounds bang on. I think I'll be heading that way with JonnyS (if he's coming) and Chris. Maybe some of the Scotland contingent if they make their way to Hull rather than Newcastle.

Epic!

[Neil M]

Nice one Baz - 2000 posts and a makeover, congratulations, now that deserves a pint of the black stuff :drinkers:

[sailorbaz]

Ooooooh cool, so I have. A pint of the black stuff would be fantastic but it'll have to be the wrong kind of black stuff and be 'Coke' since I'm at sea and bone dry!! :crying:

My daughters first communion has been set for 25th May! What are the chances of that.. I tried telling the wife that my daughter wouldn't miss me :smokin: but you can imagine the response that got!

Is there confirmation of the plan yet as I could hop on a night boat to Hollyhead and treck across to Hull for the ferry on Sunday morning? If the main BMW Munich day is on Monday 27th then I think that's worth the trip alone.

UPDATE FOR NOW
BMW are just trying to put together a trAckday either side of the Munich dates so just holding out for them before going mad.

[chrisburns]

I'm not too sure Niall maybe Shimmy could advise better. However what I will say is there seems to be a chain of though that when we have gone that far we my as well go a bit further and have a little bit of a tour.
A trip from Ireland costs a fair few quid and a lot of people are thinking of spending an extra few days heading for some cracking roads. Provided the trip doesn't clash with anything for me and I make it ok I intend on doing something so maybe some of us could head off elsewhere for a few days ?

Either way dont be too bothered it will all work out ok :thumbs:

Can they not do something sooner :whistle:

[LeinsCSL]

Niall, that's a shame with the timing, but as Chris said there'll probably be a few of us heading down to the Italian Alps or somewhere for a day or two afterwards to try and find some snazzy roads to drive on. Defo worth trying to get over on the Sunday

Have you checked out where the nearest church to the Munich factory is btw? Could move the communion down there. ;) Although not sure how pleased the priest would be when your daughter arrives in an 80 CSL convoy outside the church! :-D

Wouldn't that be something for the her scrapbook, might even get a blessing for the convoy, might not be Papal :supz: note no 'Y', but beggars can't be choosers.:hahaha:

[niall1]

LOL on all the comments.
:smt056

Once we know what the final plan is I'm sure I'll figure something out..

[Neil M]

Good Luck Niall, but I wouldn't hold my breath either on a change of date or venue, so I'm afraid your stuck between the proverbial 'Rock and a Hard Place'.
You'll just have to make the best of it, there's no way that you could miss your Daughters First Communion, she would be heartbroken.
There's always 2023?:supz:

I know you would be the first in the queue at full speed :smokin:

Received this the other day from Neil who'd made it up for the Northern (England) squad and thought it might be handy intinerary to follow for those wanting to convoy with them
boys.

7195

Myself and the Mrs are heading away around the 18th to take in a few places before meeting everyone in Munich on the Saturday afternoon/evening. Otherwise it'd have been a hoot heading out with everyone but I'm back offshore the Monday after we return on the Thursday. :moan:

Who's all going from Ireland anyway?
MKoop?
BarryC?
LeinsCSL?
Niall1?
ChrisBurns?
JonnyS?

[LeinsCSL]

Right then folks, I'm pretty much booked up for this. I'm heading over to England a week early as getting the subframe work done on the car, but then going to head from Hull over to Rotterdam on the 8:30pm P&O sailing on Friday 24th

Then it's down to Munich for a couple of nights, over to Salzburg for the Monday night, then off somewhere to find some good roads later on the Tuesday...Alps/Dolomites??? Nowhere booked for the next few days, so open to suggestions from anyone else

Then booked P&O ferry back to Hull from Rotterdam on Friday 31st at 9pm. This gets into Hull at 8am, and have then booked the Irish Ferries Swift boat from Holyhead to Dublin leaving at 5:15pm, so gives loads of time to get over there that Saturday

[sailorbaz]

Morning folks,

As above really, all booked up now including the hotels in Munich and Salzburg.

Im heading over early also, Sat 18th to Birkenhead then tunnel on Mon night. Few stops after that until rendezvous with everyone on the Sat night before all sorts of organised tours and photos over the Sunday and Monday. Move over to Salzburg on the Monday afternoon in preparation for TD on the Tuesday and then back to Munich for me to visit her sister.

Tiergarten on the Wed night before a day at the 'Ring and ferry to Hull from Rot that Thursday. Friday blast to Cairnryan and try to catch an early'ish ferry over to Belfast and home for Friday evening pints.

Any reason you're going to England for the subframe fix Leins? Mine is booked into DP in Omagh to get it checked out but was just going to get the work done here, if of course it's needing it.

[LeinsCSL]

Good stuff Baz, can't wait for this one!

Re subframe, there are no cracks showing at the mo, and as it's out of its 10 year warranty period in August I've decided to get the work done to reinforce it going forward. Mprove in Cheshire are going to inject it and fit the plates so hopefully that'll be it sorted. I've heard good things about them, and also I don't think any of the dealers will fit plates, only do the resin injection?

[niall1]

Once we know what the final plan is I'm sure I'll figure something out..

Looks like I'm out. :bigcry: With most of the organised events on the Sunday and Monday morning I can't do Saturday in the West of Ireland and realistically make Munich in time..
:banghead:

Enjoy and safe journey.

Niall

[LeinsCSL]

That's a pity Niall. Sure will see you at the Fest of Speed in August down your way hopefully :)

[LeinsCSL]

Not sure who else is going on this now, and Baz will be over before me anyway, but looking at the timings and route to Munich on the Saturday I reckon a stop-off in Stuttgart at the Porker museum for an hour or two might be on the cards. Think some of the Scottish lads are planning this too

[shimmy]

well done, youve upheld the honour if the Irish lads, the rest seem to have hone quiet. Not like them at all. Im hoping theyll show some spunk now its Lent :)

[sailorbaz]

Yeah, I'll be over already. In fact on the sat ill be somewhere between Lake Como and Munich giving it to the CSL over the Alps, if my mapping is correct passing Stelvio.
