HERE ARE THINGS which the financial-obsessive and/or cautious members of this guild have calculated will contribute to the cost

-~~------~~

FLIGHTS at £150 per head; this is based on Croatia Airlines prices.

CAR HIRE at £150 per head; this is based on Ben's research suggesting that a car can be got for €1000 which fits our criteria.

FUEL at £65 per head; this is based on a distance of 2,500 miles, an efficiency of 40mpg (I cannot assume better, given a 6-dude van, often country roads and so forth) and cost of £1.30 per litre

ACCOMMODATION at £225 per head; hostelries appear to be able to cater for us at c. €12 to €20 per night, which we can take to be £15. This will last 15 nights.

FOOD at £320 per head; let us assume we are pretty frugal but still we are tourists, and that we subsist on £20 per day. This will last 16 days.

ATTRACTIONS AND OTHER SUCH BSNS at an arbitrary allowance of £120 per head.

~~UNMODIFIABLE STUFF (which will be a cost no matter what method we choose to use)~~

TOTAL: £1,030 per head?

~~(all costs ph)~~

~~nutrients £240, accommodation £240, attractions £75, allowance for random crap £45: £600 ph~~

~~-------~~

~~MODIFIABLE STUFF~~

~~buy (all costs ph)~~:

~~buy £220, sale -£150, insurance £110, insurance reclaim -£65, tax £20, fuel £100, tolls £20~~, ~~tunnel £25: 250 ph~~

~~-------~~

~~TOTALS: £850 ph for purchase (with an additional, but hopefully reclaimable, further float of £215 ph)~~

~~assumptions in the above: that food and accommodation can be had for £15 per dude~~ per ~~day (this is based on information from a. google and b. hihostels.com) and that petrol prices are about what they are here.~~

(alternatively, were there only to be five (5) canon attendees rather than 6, costs would of course increase when measured ph on the driving-around bit. i therefore propose, should that be the case, doing it by a means we already have: '''my''' car. insure two further dudes on it for the duration, and otherwise follow the "buy" plan; this would cost £825 ph as opposed to (remember this is for 5 dudes, not 6) £900 ph buy in this situation.)
