ASSEN GP
right, here is some general information for all of you who might be interested
some might have seen it before, I'm copy and pasting most of it from other topics I replied in
smart huh
there's a trainstation in assen. your train takes 2h and 7 min to get from amsterdam to assen,
you'll must change trains in hilversum (otherwise you'll end up like ben and matt running after all the other people in motogp-stuff
) If you remind me on time, I'll look up the times+railway you'll need in hilversum, makes your trip much more relaxed. a normal train ticket to assen is €37,40 (return) ( 25,10 pounds) , €24,70( 16,60 pounds) for a single ticket.
camping: get a cab and tell them to take you to the closest camping to the track.
you can go there on wednesday night, cliff they open up on wednesday for those who don't want to miss a thing. the closest camping I think is Jan&Berta. it's near the main road and it's just a field full of tents/german people. the campings are very primitive and in the open pastures, but most do have a toilet for the ladies. they cost about €10,-p.n. I think, there not expensive. you do can get a 'normal' camping, but that's further from the circuit. don't expect to get a good night sleep...
what you also can do is to take a bus/cab to the village Witten. it's very close to assen, so it can't cost you that much money. when you get there, you'll see that the whole place is just a camping,also in the pastures of a farmer (also very primitive) so you have lots of places to set up your tents!
on a personal note: DON'T GO TO WITTERZOMER, they suck cause they want to bann the motogp cause they are to loud
bunch of ........, they open up their campings for the bikers and make money of us, but at the same time they want to boycot the TT
I am sure there are arrangments if you camp on those fields to get to the city and back to the camping during the night, if you decide to go to Assen during the evenings. there will be a 3 day festival in the city too, like last year. last year was great, lot's of live-music. saw Ilse de Lange (you don't know her, but she's a good peformer) and had a good time.
here is a link if you want to contact a camping.
