Fancy visiting Hungary in 2007

Post by Pete Eeles »

Since I wrote the report on my trip to Hungary, I've had several requests of possibly coordinating another ("private") trip with Farm Lator next year. The report is at:

http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/reports_farmlator.php

In order to help facilitate this (I may or may not be able to attend myself), would all interested parties please respond to this post, and perhaps we could also use it to discuss any aspects of the trip that are not covered by the report.

We'll then take it from there :)

Some additional info:

- The cost of the trip is dependent on the number in the party; the larger the party the lower the individual cost. But last year the overall cost was quite a bit cheaper than other organisations running similar tours.

- There is a single room supplement. Most visitors are generally happy to room-share (2 per room).

Cheers,

- Pete

Fantastic Pete. After our trip last year I would love to go back again but I'll have to wait until my other half gets back later this evening before I get too excited. :lol:

Sounds good - I am interested. Can we have a vague guess at the cost - say how much it cost last year?

Hi Tim,

For a private group of 9 it cost £490, with flights an additional £100.

The rates may be higher in 2007 due to inflation. Also, if less then 9 attend, then the cost will also be higher, I would imagine.

At this stage, I'd have to say that it would be unlikely that I'm able to make the trip myself in 2007 (but 2008 is highly probable!) due to other arrangements.

Cheers,

- Pete

I'm interested, what time of the year would it be?

To be determined by the group. I visited in early July which I can highly recommend :)

I'll try and consolidate interest in the next week or so and contact those individuals that have expressed an interest.

Cheers,

Hi all - this is just a gentle reminder for those thinking of visiting Farm Lator this year that they'd better get their requests in! As many will know, Rob de Jong, who runs Farm Lator, has been very supportive of the UK Butterflies website and has contributed many videos (with more to be added in the coming week!). Farm Lator trip reports can be found at:

http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/reports_farmlator.php

and

Cheers,

Pete,

I think we agreed that we would all wait until 2008 due to other commitments etc.

I'm sure the others will see this post and clarify :-)
