Gothenburg Training Camp Update

Update - note my typing error below - flights are 60 quid each way as said in the original GTC post, not 60 quid return as I said below.

Following a very encouraging expression of interest in the "GTC" (see the original post here), Johan has provisionally booked 2 harbour front cabins at the Kajkanten on the island of Vrångö from 6th to 9th July 2018. These cabins have two floors and can take up to 7 per cabin but Johan reckons that 5 is a comfortable maximum per cabin. We will also have accommodation on Johan's yacht and possibly one other, which will be berthed in the harbour. Johan is also trying to see if the holiday homes belonging to one of his running club members could be available, which are located about 100m from the cabins. If these options become available, the accommodation costs could come down but for now we will work on the basis of the guaranteed accommodation in the cabins. The refined costs are as follows (splitting the cabin costs across the number of people interested in going):

• Flights (£60 per person EACH WAY at the moment. Could go up or down)
• Baggage (£50 per person return)
• Airport transfer (£16.50 return - may not be necessary if Johan and the guys can pick us up)
• Local 3-day travel ticket (£15.23 for trams, ferries, etc. U20's go free with an adult)
• Cabins Friday to Monday (£120/person)
• Food and drink (Depends?????)

I would recommend that those who are still interested book the Ryanair tickets now whilst the prices are low (Friday 6th July, Edinburgh to Gothenburg Landvetter; Monday 9th July Gothenburg Landvetter to Edinburgh) and let me know when you have done so. You can add the baggage to your flight booking later.

If you have not put your name down yet but are interested, then please use the form link on the original GTC post to do so. If you are no longer interested, then please let me know and I shall cross you off the list.

I recommend we start saving/paying up the balance from January, giving us 6 months to save about £200 (excluding the flights and food/drink). As noted, the total could be less depending on final accommodation.
