Default Who's driving to Hamm?
Anyone driving to Hamm in March?
There's 4 of us heading over and including the ferry and petrol is costs £180 so £45 each plus £15 each for overnight stay.
Anyone fancy convoying over? I have done the drive before and its a great drive!

How many miles is it to Hamm?

I'd love to drive, but I get about 23mpg out of my car.

I have done the drive leaving 4pm fri from west wales arriving about 5am sat after breaks and then leaving the show at 2pm ariving back 1am sun morn. We had 2 drivers but I cant sleep in cars (bad passenger and get sick) and started hallucinating after entering wales and had to sway for the final 40mins drive back.
Were stopping in Holland to visit a 'cafe' that I go to and sleeping there.Tunnel is only 54quid now aswell as sometimes its about 80!!!
Lets hope petrol prices stay at 86p aswell
