jiggly_puff · 13 Oct 2003, 20:59 (Ref:750199)

hi ya, anyone got any ideas about airports, hotels etc to jarama?!

josvandeperre · 13 Oct 2003, 21:16 (Ref:750218)

18 miles north of Madrid according to the first website produced by Yahoo - if I can do it so can you - a little inside knowledge : there are no direct flights from St Albans

**ghinzani** · 13 Oct 2003, 21:19 (Ref:750220)

That far? Im goin at the end of Nov for the WS finale and then to watch Real Madrid, should be a cracking weekend.

**Peter Mallett** · 14 Oct 2003, 11:53 (Ref:750772)

Well its on the road from the airport to Madrid (unless they've moved the airport). About twenty mins drive.

jiggly_puff · 14 Oct 2003, 16:39 (Ref:751072)

alright josvandeperre no need to be so sarcastic i had already found that out! i wanted to know if people had any inside info from being there before on the best way of doing things!!!!

i might be goin for the ws series too ghinzani - how are you going about flights and hotels?

**Peter Mallett** · 14 Oct 2003, 19:29 (Ref:751289)

There are daily flights from LHR to Madrid. I think Sleazyjet goes there too from Luton. I'm sure BMI fly from Leeds/Bradford too.

What about speaking to MST in Banbury. They must know about flights and hotels for Jarama. You can get their number from my website suppliers page.

josvandeperre · 15 Oct 2003, 09:01 (Ref:751862)

Sarcastic of Battersea here - my excuse is your title sold me a dummy - I'm a nice helpful person really - having said that are flights to Madrid so difficult to find out about ? Just ask Posh & Becks - Oh No ! Its that mean streak coming out again...... Have a great trip

jiggly_puff · 15 Oct 2003, 18:27 (Ref:752532)

ok thanks for all that - its been a big help! hows transport from the airport??? does anyone know if there are like shuttle buses etc?!

josvandeperre · 16 Oct 2003, 08:27 (Ref:752978)

The airlines that Peter has helpfully provided should have all that data on their sites when you check their timetables & fares (or do we need to provide that too ?) - come on : try ! - sorry its the old me coming out again....

**Peter Mallett** · 16 Oct 2003, 08:43 (Ref:752990)

Jiggly. Madrid is a major city and indeed has all sorts of different transport available from buses to taxis. It even has trains but you sound like you need a tour package.

Really it won't be difficult to find your way to the circuit and if you don't want to use MST (that's Motor Sports Travel) who will no doubt be assisting a lot of people, then may I suggest you look at hotel and accommodation websites. Go to www.dogpile.com and type in hotels in Madrid. That should throw up loads of options.

**Peter Mallett** · 16 Oct 2003, 09:15 (Ref:753019)

This hotel's about £35.00 per night but I don't know where it is in relation to the circuit.

Just one more thought on this.

Have you pm'd Jordi? He's from Catalan but may be able to help.

jiggly_puff · 16 Oct 2003, 11:00 (Ref:753100)

its ok i think i have sorted out transport etc - and jos i am looking myself i am just seeing if people have any different ideas to the places i have already looked!

**Peter Mallett** · 16 Oct 2003, 11:09 (Ref:753111)

Well what have you sorted out then?

jiggly_puff · 16 Oct 2003, 13:40 (Ref:753274)

thats a bit nosy!

**Peter Mallett** · 16 Oct 2003, 14:07 (Ref:753297)

You started it! If you have directions, solutions to a problem etc. Surely its polite to share them with those who've attempted to help.

josvandeperre · 16 Oct 2003, 14:36 (Ref:753331)

Peter - thats what we get for trying to help.....maybe if we ask nicely we can get volunteered to 'assist' with the college work too - write essays - that sort of thing

paulzinho · 16 Oct 2003, 18:27 (Ref:753532)

Can you write my essays for me too?

Maisie · 16 Oct 2003, 21:52 (Ref:753745)

Jiggly_puff, could you detail your journey plans to put into a circuit guide please? We'll be working on getting some guides together over the off-season, so any info would be gratefully appreciated

Rob29 · 17 Oct 2003, 07:23 (Ref:754078)

I would certainly be interested in a guide to getting to circuits by public transport.Most of my info is well out of date like a 1993 Euro rail timetable!

jiggly_puff · 17 Oct 2003, 12:45 (Ref:754318)

but the thing is im cheating i'm not actually doing it myself - a friend is gonna be taking me

josvandeperre · 17 Oct 2003, 13:24 (Ref:754346)

So the real answer to your question 'how to get to Jarama' is 'have a friend take you' - is this whole thread just a blague to let the rest of the world know you are being treated to a weekend in Spain !

Excellent - have a good trip

Hmm, thought so.

Jiggly. Your "friend" is taking you either by plane, boat, train car or another means. How is he doing it? Then you can repay the efforts that people have made on your behalf.

We don't need to know about honeymoon suites and all that stuff 'cos most of us have been there and done it!

But how the hell do you get to Jarama by whatever means you are using?

jiggly_puff · 18 Oct 2003, 13:45 (Ref:755078)

oh of course i will do a guide for the site...........its just i was saying that i don't know any of the details of it now - and its still not 100% i'm going! but if i do i will let you all know!

**Peter Mallett** · 18 Oct 2003, 17:30 (Ref:755247)

Good girl. Hope you get there and I hope its fun.
