Hoping to pick up some Costa's myself - should be plenty of top end gear app. and if you are staying where we are the show is literally 5 mins door to door walk!

Pat

how far away from airport is the hotel we are staying in? Dunno. RAC says 15K 20 mins but don't quote me. I think Henry might have done that run last year.

what time does the show close friday night? 6pm maybe? Mick will remember.
how far is the show from the hotel? 300 yds
would i pick up a pair of costa del mars at the show? Dunno. Possibly.

Pat - hotel is very close, about half a minute's walk, perfect location. Nice one Mick.

I flew in last year - airport is quite a long way from the hotel, the taxi was not particularly cheap, but I am pretty sure that there is some kind of much cheaper bus service that runs from the airport to somewhere close to the show/hotel, and back again. I have had a quick look around and you need to search "Tan bus shuttle Nantes airport" in Google, or something like that.

You can download a PDF of the timetable here - hope it helps. I was all set to take the bus last year and didn't for various reasons.

 

[Alex Jordan]

Looks like we are all in the same hotel then!

 

[pat connolly]

thanks henry

Can i ask how much roughly it is to do Nantes for the weekend just so i can sort something out for next year

 

[Alex Jordan]

failry cheapish tbh - think the hotel is 60 euros a night, shared car journey between 4 via eurostar is approx £75 each return (minus diesel costs) plus toy money and food beerage money

 

[Ben Field]

Do we have to pay entry at the show, or is it free?

 

[Mark C]

thanks ive looked at some flights direct to nantes from up here its about £350 return better get saving

 

[pat connolly]

jesus marc i only booked my flight last week with ryanair it was 93 euros shop around?

Alex, it is even cheaper than that because the Eurotunnel return ticket was £74 for car and passengers included. Oh well, it just means more shopping money.

 

[Mark C]

ill have to look at ryanair
wifes credit card nearly went into melt down
thanks

Thanks Vid!

Yes there is a daily charge for entering, I think its about 6€ per day, but I can get the tickets free, just need to know exact numbers?

So I will start a new thread to find out;

 

[pat connolly]
