General Panda Road Trip Italia
Booked. I found it didn't like me registering at the same time as booking. I'd recommend if you don't have an account make one first then try and book while logged in.

Done.

Same here, I should've posted it up really too. Top job guys.
Booked - Forgotten my wallet and at work but thankfully they accept Paypal 
All sorted from my side :slayer:
Guys please remember this note :
Il saldo (Totale di: Pernottamento + Pasti + Iscrizione - meno 50,00 € di acconto) deve essere versato all'atto dell'iscrizione al raduno.
The total price ( Overnight stay + meals + car inscription - minus 50,00 € of advance) must be paid when you join the meeting.
So if you sleep also Sunday evening at the Ciocco, also eating there (dinner) , the total price should be 229 €, but remember that you already paid 50 € in advance, so you should pay 229 - 50 = 179 €
I hope to be clear for you guys !!
I made this post because it is missing in the link posted by Freebo (don't worry mate, it's fine).

Thanks Mirko, the majority of the group will be staying on site for the sunday night too.
We're still unsure of our arrival time on the thursday, but if all goes to plan (!) Then we should be with you guys for Pizza too :thumbup:
I will post the journey plans up this week.
Ferry booked - £134 with short trailer.
I didn't bother with flexi on the way out. Overconfidence is an asset on some occasions, we'll see if this is one of those..

Ok so the plan, a massive thanks to @Freebo for working ALOT harder than me at this btw...
Tuesday 9th
Depart from our homes and head south towards Dover, en-route (PC european-style terminology ) meeting point tbd nearer the time. Ferry is at 2pm and we must be there 45 mins before departure for check-in, so we'll aim for 1pm. We should be back on the road again for around 4pm on the other side of the water, where we'll aim to get to Malmedy in Belgium to stay the first night. This is around 3 hours drive from Dunkirk.
Wednesday 10th
Depart from Malmedy as early as possible and drive into Germany and south through Switzerland to arrive at Lake Como in Italy from the second night. This is around an 8 hour drive all in. If possible we can do 4 hours before lunch, then 4 after.
Thursday 11th
Como to Lucca is around 3 and a half hours drive, so a much more chilled out day. But if problems arise we have this time period to fall back on. We could also go via Maranello and check out the Ferrari Museum.
So I'd like input from all please, we need some options for accommodation in Malmedy and the Como area, any advice or input at all will help us.
Then the weekend's activities begin on Thursday night :thumbup:
And so to the journey home...
Monday 15th
Set off back to Como via the scrap yard in Lucca, and any others we find on the way John and I were also thinking a trip to the museums of Ferrari and/or Lamborghini which are perfectly accessible from our route. Entry for these is around 15 Euro each. If possible we should aim to use the same accommodation in Como as we used on the journey up, for ease.
Tuesday 16th
Leave Como bound for Stuttgart in Germany for our next night, around a 5 hour drive. On the way is the option of visiting the Porsche and/or Mercedes-Benz museums.
Wednesday 17th
Stuttgart to Malmedy for the next night, once again we'll try and use the same accommodation.
Thursday 18th
Malmedy to Dunkirk for the ferry at 2, arriving at port around 1 for check-in again. Then home I guess!
So once again can we please all help with some input for accommodation one way or another, grazi mi amicos :thumbup:

I know very well a police agent in COMO.
He organises different meetings between Italy and Switzerland.
Probably he knows some hotels or campings, because usually who organises meetings has a good knowledge
I will ask him if he has any advice regarding the area surrounding COMO.
p.s. It could require some days to receive the answer from him

This is where I've stayed in Malmedy when I done Spa a few years ago, worth checking prices as they do being chalets that will probably sleep us all in one and work out cheaper (can't remember exact numbers we've got people wise in the convoy).

I'm not going to be able to contact them for a day or two, so not sure if someone else can, or I might try tomorrow.

Are those hotels each or per pair in a room?
Its for a twin room.

Just read the address quickly and nearly got it a bit wrong
Excellent work chaps well done, just checking Freebo the prices are definitely pounds rather than euro?
Great work, thank you men.
Err, just got very excited to discover that there's such a thing as a Unimog Museum
Surely a must see..?

Yes. I did hope it was euro's but it's not
I have also checked hotels directly and they are about the same in euro's converted.

Has everyone now booked the ferry?
Anyone got any thoughts on the hotels? We ideally need to book them by the middle of next week.
