gordy.r Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 With the Bronze you are effectively paying for just the ferry for you and the car (£30) and your passenger (£5). You'd have to book your own accommodation. At an extra cost. Good luck though, there's not a lot left as I found out yesterday and today when searching. Marcus should be able to confirm though....

Marcus GTE Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Lads im thinking of going Bronze just to confirm for Both nights its £35 including a guest? That seems a bit cheap, or is it 2 x £35? Gordy is correct mate, Bronze + guest is ferry crossing for you, your car and a passenger. No accommodation or speed boat trip included. The b&b both nights is for you to arrange and pay for yourself. £35 in total. Scott M managed to get a b&b for the Saturday night only yesterday, but as I previously said it is a busy time of year. Scott is also bringing another large tent and is bringing his Mrs. He offered the extra space in the tent up, so it would be reasonable to suggest you could share the "couples tent" on the Friday night (if that's cool with him of course, which I'm sure it would be) if you can't find a b&b, leaving you only Saturday to find somewhere (might have to look at the surrounding area for a b&b if there are no vacancies immediately nearby) GUYS THE HOSTEL IS NOW FULLY BOOKED. Gordy has taken the last two spaces. We had a maximum of 8 spaces available to us. The explanation for this is a strange one; basically over 8 in a group is classed as a commercial booking with different T&C's, including the requirement for everyone in the group being over 35 years old. I think they want to restrict stag doo type behaviour if you catch my drift- as it has the potential to put off foreign tourists. This is something we can hopefully work with them on for next year, assuming we give a good account of ourselves on our stay. They frown against trying to work around the rule too, so seperate bookings knowing you will meet up with friends counts towards the allocation of a group size of 8. I've spoken to the boat trip company today and they still have the space to accommodate us so once I have final numbers through ticket purchases I'll make final arrangements there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Just managed to get a place for the Saturday night so I think we're sorted. Is it OK to bring our mammoth tent or do I need to contact the site to see if they will be OK with it? Spoke to the site today they are fine with the two tents and are phoning back later to confirm details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 It's just the 2 of us mate, got a babysitter for the kids as the wee one is a bit too small for camping just now. Anyone is welcome to the additional rooms if they are required, they would obviously need to bring their own bed, sleeping bag etc though. FYI this is the tent, I test built it last night for the upcoming GP weekend There's a 3rd apartment to the rear of the complex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the connection with the tent/ GP weekend? So do you and the mrs want to do the boat trip on the Saturday afternoon with us? If so with ferry cost it comes to £115 (£30 each for boat trip, £10 each for camping on first night, £35 for you & Mrs and car on the ferry) If no to boat trip it's minus £60 so it's £55 for ferry and camping.

Yes mate, full bhuna for us. Wife is dolphin daft so if we saw one she would be on top of the world, she wouldn't miss it for the world anyway Where should I send the cash to? Me and the boys are away to Silverstone for the GP this weekend. Heading off tomorrow, just been out getting the "supplies". Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy.r Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Where should I send the cash to? s Whatever you do, don't do what I did and send cash in to the PayPal hyper space that is a wrong email address! lol Having to wait for them to review my cancellation.... typical!

That's one of my biggest gripes with Paypal. They claim it's to prevent money laundering but there are so many better ways of doing it than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy.r Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 It was just a typo on one letter, even though I resent the cash to the same address with an amended email address, still they want to hold on to my £95 to review the cancellation. I am sure it will be ok, but just a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan to do with the trips on Saturday is to do a walking trip in the morning/ early afternoon then lunch and the boat trip in the afternoon about 3ish. After that we can head to check in to our diggs then head to the local pub/hotel for dinner and a few drinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
