----------------
Costing of fuel depends on what car you come in and how heavy your foot is,,if you get the ferry your looking around 800 miles around europe,,if you go by euro tunnel or ferry from dover your looking at 1100-1200 miles round europe.....mileage could change so your looking around £130-£150+ on fuel..
Spending money ive took around 300 euro's and always come home with change.....but next years trip we are going to Wolfsburg so more will be required..
Il update this more when i get more info but this gives you a rough idea on things,but i will also require a deposit to secure your accomodation this will be non refundable so you will need to be 110% sure you wanna go on this trip....any questions please ask away..
