Hey all,
Something I have been thinking about for a while, would anyone interested in travelling to Gibraltar for Wargaming/Sight seeing?
What would the trip entail?
I would suggest 4 days (over a weekend, including travel). Rough intinery would be as follows:
Friday:
0900-1400hrs Arrive in Gibraltar.
1600-1800hrs morrisons trip/orientation.
2000-2359hrs Welcome Meal out/post meal drinks.
Saturday
0001-0300hrs Optional Drinking.
0900-1100hrs Breakfast in Town.
1100-1700hrs Wargame Tournament (UK vs Gib or mixed).
1730-1900hrs Lower St Michaels Cave Tour
2000-2359hrs Evening Entertainment/BBQ at Elvis' s house.
Sunday
0001-0300hrs Optional Drinking.
0800-1000hrs Breakfast in Town.
1030-1400hrs Upper Rock/WW2 Tunnels/100 tonne gun Tours.
1500-2000hrs Wargame Tournament.
2100-2359hrs Close down final meal/Goodbye Drinks.
Monday
0001-0300hrs Optional Drinking.
0800-1500hrs Depart from Gibraltar.
So, that would be a taste of a potential programme. The wargames would be held in my Regiments Officers Club, very nice place! So, pricings, meals out would be £20-£30 per person, depending on how crazy you go. The tours I am 99% sure I can get you for free, or £6-£8 ea, not the £20 ea normal tourists pay.
As for flights, you are looking at £120pp return from london to gibraltar. However if that is too difficult, you can fly from manchester also if booked in advance. For about £100pp return, you can fly from most of the UK to malaga, where I can pick you up, I would appreciate fuel money though (£30 each way).
The accomodation can be sorted through a block of flats the military have for bookings of military guests in gib, this runs at £55 a night and sleeps 6, so accomodation can be sorted cheaply! Or £80-£120 a night in a hotel.
Dates, well flexible, I am thinking late summer/winter next year?
Also, if you thinking, my wife would never allow that, bringbring her along, delete wargaming of the timetable and insert shopping/coffees. If you have young children, plenty of playparks exsist and it is all within walking distance. My wife is more than happy to host the wifes while we play with toy soldiers!
Im not looking for confirmations right now, reply jere if you reckon you would love to make the effort, as long as the dates work
Hope to see replys from several of you, btw, for the ladyss, the shopping is good!
