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

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

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

MODIFIABLE STUFF

hire (all costs ph): rent £150, fuel £60, flights £80, tolls £10: £300 ph

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

TOTALS: £900 ph for hire, £850 ph for purchase (with an additional, but hopefully reclaimable, further float of £215 ph)

risks involved:

hire, in case of accident we will be charged through the nose (for, basically, a new car).
buy, in case of accident we lose the float but only have to further pay a pittance for scrapping and a flight home.

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.
