i know it's a bit early but i'd like to get my travelling planned now so i have enough time to change it till i'm completely confused :D :D .

until now i have figured out how to get there (i will take the ferry from cuxhaven to harwich because i NEVER had a seatravel before) and also made up some kind of schedule for the trip. as i`ve never been to england before too i will arrive on thursday 7th and doing some sightseeing in the area.

the question left is about accomodation. is some of you brit guys familiar with the place? any hotels/b&b-facilities favoured? or should i take my tent with me? :D

btw, it seems the flying legends will be a meeting point for other simmers too. some guys of the CWOS plan to get to duxford and at simhq i read about a similar idea...

looking forward to meet you guys and to see some of the old warbirds!

S!

Cider, this sounds like an interesting idea ... how much does the ferry from Cuxhaven to Harwich cost? Dutch and I planned to get over the Channel from Calais to Dover ... depending on the ferry company we´ve to pay for my VW-Bus and four persons about 150 Euros if I´m right ... I´m going to visit Dutch on Thursday 7th, 2005 in Hoorn nearby Amsterdam and the next morning we´ll departure to Calais ...

If everything will work as planned I´m going to spent the nights in my VW on Gurberly´s drive way then ...

If there´re already so many people like to visit the Flying Legends what about purchasing some tickets now before they´ll be sold out??? Could anyone of our British mates do this for us? I´d immediately send him the money for it ... for my tickets only, of course ... ;)

BTW, have I already told you to pack some boxes of German beer in my van?

England! Here we come! :D :sheep: \:D/ :wink2:
