zP! Announces Bad Company 2 LAN

www.zpgaming.eu/team/2357-zp-announces-bad-company-2-lan.html

Guys, how good would it be if we could take a team to this?

I'm up for it, anyone else?

look intereting that pig, keep it up.

This could be an epic team rush outing

Shall be fun indeed.

i think im available

For us UKers it shouldnt be that hard for us to get there.

Cheapo Flight/Ferry to Ammsterdam then we'll all meet up and hire a car or van or whatever for the weekend. Its only about 2 hours drive at the most.

Might be up for this as well

Ferry might be a good option tbh.

I don't know where else we could depart from but i totalled it up and 4 of us and a car on the ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam ends up about £125 each.

As opposed to flying which ended up as closer to £160 each, then on top of that we'd have to find a way of getting to Enschede from Amsterdam.
That said, I was searching from Newcastle Airport. It might be cheaper from somewhere else.

I'm in if you want , its not far from brussels

For the ppl who live in scotland or near HULL , the cheapest way to travel is to take the ferry from HULL TO ZEBRUGGE in belgium. From there i can meet you and then we take a train ( 2 hours ) to ENSCHEDE ( holland )

Problem with flying is we than have to find a way of getting to Enschede.

Maybe a Rental car/van, maybe a train but in the end it might end up more expensive.

We'll investigate further tonight!!!

Apart from Greeny, we're a pretty "Compact" bunch anyway lol

Well, we had a big talk about this last night and we think it would be a good idea for some sort of big rush road trip.
Problem we're runing into is getting enough cars. I can bring mine but thats only 4 (small) people at the most with a little tiny bit of lugage space. We couldn't really take Jay's hairdresser-mobile as it drinks petrol and only has 2 seats and no boot. Greeny can't leave his Mrs without a car fot the week, Richard's van only has 2 seats and nobody else drives

Stoner has suggested we rent some sort of big motorhome or camper, but by the looks of it they're very expensive, we'd need 2, we need drivers with special licenses. The driver problem is an issue too if we where to get a minibus of some sort.


The road trip plan would consist of tounding everyone up in the UK, heading to Dover, getting the ferry (very cheap) to Calais, driving to Amsterdam, spending a night there, then going to the LAN the next day. And the return journy would be pretty much the same.

Drivers we would have:
Pig - car with 4 seats, probably too young to drive most rentals.
Jay - car with 2 seats, not really an option to take this.
Richard - Van with 2 seats, possible this could take the luggage if needed.
Greeny - Can help out with driving but no access to a car.

Non Driving passengers:
Ducky
Stoner
Born(Probably)
Ghostchanter
Scribbles


Flying would be an option too.
We've managed to find cheap flights to Amsterdam from Leeds/Bradford and London.
This would mean Stoner, Jay and Richard could go from London.
I could drive to Leeds and get Ducky and fly from Leeds/Bradford.
That leaves Greeny and Lucifer in Liverpool and Born in Wales(lol) Without any way to get to either Airport.
Then even if we do all fly to Amsterdam we'd have to find a rental car (or more likely 2) to get us to the venue.


Sorry if i've missed anyone off, this is just a sumary of all the stuff we where talking about last night. Put your name down, where you live, if you can drive, if you have access to a car, ect and we'll see about fitting you in.

MEEEE

can't drive at all sorry.
live in newcastle.
