 Poster: A snowHead
|
Anyone up for a shared drive to anywhere its snowing.
I dont care where we go as long as its white
I will be driving from Dorset up to The channel tunnel and can collect you on route.
Total cost will is £ 179.75 plus accomadation each ( based on four ), i will be traveling with my son who is (10), so single parents are welcome or just a couple who want to get somewhere cheap.
I will do all the driving.
IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED GET IN TOUCH ASAP AS I WANT TO GET CRACKING, CHEERS.
OR IF THERE ARE ENOUGH TO GET A 7 SEAT MPV, COST WILL BE £ 148 PER HEAD PLUS ACCOMADATION.

£179.75 each x 4 to cover Eurotunnel and fuel/tolls?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Euro tunnel is £ 139 return
Fuel is approx £ 200
Car hire £300
Extras not accounted for like tolls, extra fuel, parking £ 80
Total £719 divided by 4 = £ 179.75 which is bloody cheap by anyone's budget add on to the the Accomadation I've found in morzine for example which is £ 612 divided by 4 = £ 153 each
So for a week skiing in Morzine it will cost £ 332.53 , if you can find a better deal than that I'd like to see it.
But thanks for the sarcasm.

Esdel, I hadn't appreciated car hire.
Not sarcasm BTW, just surprise.
Your accomMOdation does sound very reasonable

Esdel, with the two of you, wouldn't you be better off getting a cheap flight, then hiring a car or getting a cheap transfer?
That's French school holiday time - Morzine will be very busy. If you're taking your lad out of school (which is a good idea) seems a shame to go in the French school holiday time.
How long is your Morzine accommodation for? 28th February is a Thursday.

I've checked out easy ( expensive) jet and it appears the flight return are about £120 but with snow board £54 and hold baggage £20 , £ 194 each, it seems slightly more economical to drive.
It's an adventure for a 10 year old, just trying to show him there are many solution to a simple problem.
And yes Accomadation is from Friday am, plan is to leave on Thursday and drive through the night arriving on Friday,and leave the following Sunday so effectively 9 full days in resort.
But I use Morzine as an example of what I've come up with, I'll happily go anywhere

Esdel, have you actually been offered accommodation from a Friday to Sunday in Morzine in the school holidays for £612? I'd be very surprised - and impressed - if you've actually got an offer of that, rather than just finding something which might not be available for those precise dates.
It's not really more economical to drive if you have to hire a car, even for four - you have underestimated toll costs by quite a bit, for a start. And for two of you an easyJet flight would be far cheaper.

It would indeed for two but for four, its much cheaper by far for all, and that's why I asked if there were two others that fancied it, if I get no takers then ill have no choice but to go package.
Yes been offered Accomadation for that and I don't think I've underestimated the tolls at all, but your entitled to your opinion, if I have underestimated then it will come out of my pocket.
Thanks for the advice

Esdel, it's not my opinion, it's just, unfortunately, what it costs, which is around €70 each way. But of course you have an alternative to package - you can still do a DIY holiday and even for two people accommodation in French school hols, for 9 days for £612 is a bargain - you won't easily find a 9 day package. You can get quite cheap transfers from Geneva to Morzine, though it's still French hols and slopes will be crowded.

This place I'm in Haute-Nendaz seems to be available, it's s/c 4 minute walk to the main telecabine, and seems to be 600 euro for a week, but I'd be bold and maker her an offer..
