EK12

[fossie]

From Christian, German Katana Club .

Hello friends, dear Katana lovers,
We've been looking for a suitable location for the past few weeks and have finally found it.
A perfect place to host EuroKat 12 with all our friends and interested parties.

The date is:
July 3rd to 5th 2026,
Fröndenberg Canoe Club
( https://maps.app.goo.gl/hBsxkQ5R8pLa2Mio7 )

From Pedda:
As usual club members invited to stop at my place at Thursday for the usual accommodation, travel to Fröndenberg on Friday after breakfast. If we take fast roads, we'll be at the gates about 1.5 hours later, but we won't.

Lets start this list then shall we.
So no actual travel dates / plan for our crew but that means a blank canvas ..

Options ( which can run concurrently )
Northern contingent
1/ Hull -Rotterdam leave Wednesday arrive Thursday AM , travel to Pedda's then travel with him his crowd on Friday .
2/ Hull -Rotterdam leave Thursday arrive Friday AM travel to site 4-5 hrs incl tourist stops.
Return Rotterdam - Hull Sunday arrive Monday .

Southern Contingent .
3/ Harwich -Hook van Holland .
As above .

Very southern on tour
4/ Dover -Calais

Both ferries seem to come in for a M/C with 2 pax at around £240. The o/night Harwich gets in about 1/2 before the Hull ferry (though different side of the river), so we could meet and travel together, just a thought.
That said if we block book as usual, the price will be reduced because we can share bunk rooms, by experience it nearly halves the individual cost if booked by one person usually me.

Hi,
Either of the Hull - Rotterdam options for me please. I'll go with the flow.

[Jonty]

I'm planning on going, aiming for Harwich - Hook on Thursday night and returning Monday night, currently £367 with cabins.

There is a high degree of certainty of me going.

Harwich-Hoek van Holland on the Thursday.

Return Sunday night
