The 2012 BLUG trip
Draft 2
BLUG is on March 22/23 in Antwerp, Belguim.
Antwerp is an easy city to get to by plane or rail. However, we are not that sensible. The Lotusphere hog ride is just gone, and we plan another trip. This page will contain details for anyone that wants to join in.
First, there is a Skype Chat for discussion on this. Add me on skype (pmooney.net) to get added to the chat.
Second, cars and bikes are welcome
Third, this is nowhere near a professionally organised trip. You are completely responsible for your own safety and insurance, legal transgressions etc.
The plan is to make it to Antwerp for the evening of 21st March. Folk from around the world are flying over to head on the trip. People will be leaving from anywhere in the UK, Ireland and Germany.
