As im going, and plan on staying the weekend at Donny, you can fly to Stansted, I can collect you, then its a 2hour drive to Donny.

As for getting in, you can pay on the day, a whopping £6 I beleive, or save £1 if you order in advance as a club member.

And if you made the effort id hardly let you pay to get in, you should know me by now.

Why not check out something like Easyjet or Ryanair (or the Norwegian equivalent/s) and see which UK airports they fly from/to? After all, there will be people going from all over the country. If you are able to put up a posting early enough, then I'm sure that after all the time you've dedicated to the site, SOMEONE won't mind giving up their passenger seat!

If that works out, then the biggest single cost could just be your room for a couple of nights. Or beer of course! :lol:
Striking fear into the hearts of duplicate posts everywhere...! :P

The cheapest and most relaxing way up from Heathrow is by the Heathrow-East Midlands connecting coach service. Doug used it last year.


and Doug's trip back to Heathrow? Maybe not so relaxing. I do live near Heathrow so can probably help here for the return trip if required.

Sy she's one stubborn lady, when she visited me last month she took my wallet hostage in her handbag. I'll only be allowed to pay for/towards anything she feels like letting me.

Worked well, good sightseeing, but not like the drive up in a Lotus would be. Watched a handful of Lotuses pass the bus on the motorway on the way up.

Luckily I know exactly how to do it again if the opportunity presents itself . . .

anyone make their 10note donation yet :?

You need to be in the right area of the forum first...there's a whole section dedicated to Donington 06.

I thought I'd locked this thread. :bonk:
