There's a posh hilton that does special internet prices, they've got a sauna and stuff too...

Andy_C · 18-04-2007, 13:55

Nice one Bon Bon, what more do you need a day of drifting and then a nice sauna to chill out in.

**Bon Bon** · 18-04-2007, 13:56

Or some extreme saunaing, see how hot you can make it before you have to leg it out. haha

conor-typer · 18-04-2007, 13:58

Could make a good weekend out of it,i knew the ferry would be exspensive but it would be so worth it

Andy_C · 18-04-2007, 15:34

Ah yeah you would have to make a weekend of ti alright.

Andy_C · 19-04-2007, 00:44

Right i think i found a hotel Donington Park Accommodation at the Melbourne View Hotel
It's 50 pound a night and it's to far from drift central.
Has anyone stayed here?

Stavros · 19-04-2007, 10:15

Ramada Jarvis Hotel is only 10miles up the road too, just off M1 so dead easy to find, we always stay there when at Donny, pub/reseraunt over the road too so not too bad, and only 15quid taxi into Nottingham if you wanna go get on it

shaq · 19-04-2007, 12:13
