As you can see, the most riding we’ll be doing in transit is 200 miles in a day! That means<br />
they’ll be nice and relaxed rides with loads of time to potter/stop/enjoy the scenery! You’ll<br />
be so fresh after that you’ll probably be off exploring in the evenings.<br />
On the return we’ll leave the site on the Monday evening boat arriving at Stockholm<br />
Tuesday morning to ride down to Granna. Wednesday will be a ride back to the YCC Club in<br />
Denmark staying there until Thursday lunchtime when we’ll zip over to the ferry home to<br />
Harwich where we’ll arrive Friday lunchtime.<br />
There is a link to the web page of the main rally site in Finland if you want to look – and<br />
your Finnish is ok! http://www.lomasakyla.com/<br />
This the ‘official’ invite from VSOC main site<br />
YCC Finland has decided the rallyplace of the 2008 International Rally. The rally will held on 13th - 15th June 2008<br />
in Säkylä, about 75km from harbour of Turku. There will be lots of area to all arrangements we need. A large tent<br />
area, inside accommodation for 160 persons (cottages for 4-8 persons with wc + refrigerators etc... these will not<br />
include the rally payment, but if you need one, you will get it by paying some extras...) Vacation resort locate in<br />
lakeside and I think you all will be pleased about it.<br />
The nearest harbour ( and the best rational way between Sweden and Finland) is Turku. Arriving to Helsinki means<br />
that you must drive about 2, 5 hours to the rallyplace. I think it's too much for you, especially on Sunday, when you<br />
will leave for home. We will send more info about the Rally and the timetables of ferries etc during next Spring.<br />
I and all YCC Finland`s members wish Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!<br />
VeePee Särkkä, President, YCC Finland<br />
Now, the astute of you will have already picked up that there is scope for chalet type<br />
billets on the main site in Finland. That’s no good to us you cry; we’ve got to camp at Yans<br />
and Granna! Well that’s not necessarily the case! I am told there is to be provision at both<br />
those places for inside (non-camping) billets. Before you all jump up and shout; ‘Yippee! No<br />
tents required.’ I would mention a couple of things. I’ve done the chalet/non camping<br />
option before. {Czech 2001(ish)} and whilst it does have merits, there’s not the<br />
camaraderie of the camp site and sitting around talking b*ll#$%s etc.<br />
Coupled to that, with a tent you’re completely independent and not reliant on anyone else,<br />
should that suddenly become desirable! Also, obviously not everyone will be able to use the<br />
inside facilities which I think would make me feel somehow left out……..<br />
However, if camping really isn’t your thing and you’d seriously like to go on the trip, it may<br />
be a good option for you. If interested, contact me ASAP. I’ll be in my tent……….. and no<br />
doubt moan about it for ages after!<br />
So, give the trip some thought, its over 500 miles north of where we’re used to so it’ll be<br />
very short nights less than a week before the longest day of the year. What a hoot!<br />
Who’s coming with me then<br />
Chas.
