"The longest and most terrifying race track in the world."It fell in March in 2008 and was very, very cold but in 2009 it's 3 weeks later falling on Sunday 12 April.We will be looking to go out on Friday 10th April and return on Monday 13th April.Camping is E12 a day .

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 how about we stay at center parks this timeSurprisingly it looks quite nice but trial booked couple of 8 person villas for that weekend and it worked out at about 100 euros per person for the 4 days - it'snot bad considering but a fair bit more than the campsite Link to post Share on other sites

With the camp site, or even a hotel, each person can be in charge of their own bookings and don't inconvenience anyone if they then decide not to come.I'm assuming that an 8 person cottage is less than four times the price of a two person one.I think the guest house that GMVW used in July was about E25 pppn Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I'm assuming that an 8 person cottage is less than four times the price of a two person one.I made the same assumption that the bigger villas would be cheaper but dont know for sure. Also u are right with the logistic thing, and not sure they would like us to get rowdy at center parcs :S :S Link to post Share on other sites
