My son recently put a countdown timer on the home computer, just for me [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
I started at 175 days... its going down rightly [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rotflmmfao.gif[/img]
Mt 2011 Of The German Tdm-forum - LewisBlackburn - 08-02-2011
I've got the time off but how much would it really cost?
â¬53 per night, so are people doing 3 nights at the hotel or just 1 night?
Who would i go with?
I've never been on such a big meet before and would feel lost !
any help for a newbie?

There are so many people going from all over the place so you'll never be alone, as for getting lost, no one will let ya get lost, everyone is a sensible rider except for those that ain't [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
We've worked out (roughly) £700 should cover the entire trip and leave some change

It will be 7 nights, 4 in Masserberg , best thred to see what people are doing is the meet up thread.
See who is going roughly on your schedule and tag along, alot from NW are meeting at Lymm services and going down together.
Main thing is booking the accomodation, see the first post.
Cost, I am taking = £700 + booze. ( two crates of Brown Ale on the back )
Dont worry about not knowing one, You'll know me I'm the one with the Irish accent.
Cheers, Ivan

dont worry about not knowing anyone, we're a very friendly bunch and only tar&feather you the first time we meet so dont worry too much, it saves you shaving for the rest of the week [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]
the cost of the trip is really up to you
fuel is obviously dependant on how 'enthusiastic' you like to be
you can camp and cook ya own grub if on a tight budget
do you like a 'few' beers in the evening? if so dont worry theres a few that like that too
same with grub, can be as cheap or as expensive as you like
i normally work on £800 for a week but that is living pretty good, gonna have to get that down a bit for the MT tho as i'm planning for 18days [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif[/img]
so camping and cooking my own for some of the time is a necessity
Mt 2011 Of The German Tdm-forum - LewisBlackburn - 08-02-2011
OO it sounds sooo good,
But with moving house early summer I just wouldn't be allowed (by her) to spend so much money [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]
If I win the lottery I'll come with ya'll [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Well, we do have the option to put up your own tent, that would significantly reduce the accommodation costs. Riding costs are hard to reduce: Fuel, ferry, speeding tickets... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]
But be assured, there will ne a meeting in Germany next year as well. Location is not yet defined, though.

I don't know. Please check with our "T-Shirt-Master" when you get the confirmation email.

Does someone want to organise a Carpe group buy to save on money transfer costs (I'm not going to volunteer due to my poor level or organisational skills)? When we went to MT08 we found we can't easily do bank transfers to an German account so had to send via Paypal which obviously has an admin fee.
Mt 2011 Of The German Tdm-forum - ladroege - 13-02-2011
Well, that's something we "continental Europeans" still remember from the pre-Euro days, but are not accustomed "to any more. If my "t-shirt colleague" has no better suggestion, I can try to act as a "payment bridgehead". Whether the transfer works best/cheapest via cheque, paypal, regular bank transfer, notes in envelope or any other means..? That would be up to you to investigate.
But I am sure, we will find a way (maybe some members of the orga team want to be paid in single malt? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img] )

As our "Mr. T-Shirt" does not have a paypal account, he asked me to relay the money if you prefer that payment method.
Please be aware of the transaction costs for receiving on my side:
Transactions in Euro: 1.9 % + 0.35 Euro
Transactions in GBP: 3.9 % + 0.35 Euro (potentially plus 2.5% conversion fee)
I am not a paypal pro, so please check any any additional fees on your side.
If you want my paypal details, please send me a personal message.
