Schiphol -> Gütersloh
324 km – ca. 3 uur 6 min.

Schiphol -> Aachen -> Gütersloh
471 km – ca. 4 uur 38 min.

That's a pretty big detour and with traphic we would basically miss V-Cube-night

Erik is at Sebastiens place and we know how much he likes Luxemburgisch cubers Maybe he can help you travel?

We will not try to arrange anything else tonight. If we don't all fit into that room we will find some other arrangements (sleeping in the car is our safety-backup solution)

See you tomorrow

You can join me and Kai doing it .

 

[coolmission]

Yeah that is indeed a big detour

I'll try to get in touch with Erik, and maybe we can find a solution, else I'll take the train instead.

I'll PM you my number, if you want to reach me (we will make it work so you won't have to resort to sleeping in the car ).

See you tomorrow

Joey told me about your plan, that's where I got the inspiration from. Is Janine sleeping there as well?

(and coolmission, Erik hasn't heard anything from you yet (he is online now) and I never received that PM)

 

[Erik]

Janine couldnt come as far as I know. Uni stuff if my memory serves me well.
Btw, me no has sleeping place yet since Dennis is playing dead again... grr
But ja, we can take Joel with us for sure at least, on MSN I gave him our contact details of here (aachen)

I forgot to ask Kai about Janine. The last information i have is "maybe" .

Will Dennis come to the competition? I thought he won't.

 

[AvGalen]

Joels phone wasn't working when I called him earlier today. I think he might be sleeping after work?

Dennis isn't responding to anyone. Nobody seems to know what is going on with him

[joey]

@MTGJumper: so you want to split £39, 5 ways..?
I might be up for that. Also, considering finding some shelter near the venue and sleeping outside :/

No, there are 4 of us, so we're getting 2 rooms, so there are two places in one room or 1 in each (they only sleep 3)...
It'll be £15 each anyway, if you get in on the act

 

[joey]

Oh, hm. Are you driving down? Room for me?

 

[cookingfat]

Hi Joey, I'm driving but the missus is coming so the car is full

 

[joey]

Poopdeck.

Can (s)he cube? I propose a cubing face of between me and the missus, fastet out of 5 has the seat.

 

[MTGjumper]

So is it me, Rowan, you, Jude and "missus" in the car? Surely, Joey can fit in the boot

The places in rooms are still available though

by the way, cookingfat and 'missus' are getting a seperate room, so it'll be you, me, joey and jude sharing between 2 rooms.

 

[MTGjumper]

OK then. So still two places up for grabs then?

haha, she can just about do one layer, I tried to teach her but she gave up. You'll have to fight her for it. good luck

 

[joey]

Oh man, now I realise why I've been doing martial arts for ~13 years.. this is what it all comes down to. Fighting mrLard's missus.
