Closest hotel we can get is in Eskilstuna, well one with a bit of life around it as well, but we're struggling with an airport. Can anyone help with recommendations please?
Cheers

There's an airport in Vasteras, or fly to Stockholm Arlanda which is only an hours drive

You are braver than me Andy....we finally settled on Belgium for a beer weekend in the cars. Reckon we could get there, dump the cars, go OTP for a few days then drive home :thumbright:

Thats a good old trip at 12mpg!

I fancy driving to the tunnel and turning left at Calais then hit the pubs in Brussels etc. Not too far at all really....I am an amateur after all :thumbright:

first time for me this year, going with a bunch of chaps that have been many times before, we have hotel booked in Vasteras, was booked last year as I believe they go quick

flights not booked yet but looking at going direct Manchester -> Stockholm Arlanda, return via Frankfurt, I think it’s a bus journey from Arlanda to Vasteras

then to get to Power Big Meet it’s line 25 from the Central station, bus stop “Johannisbergs flygplats”
