The event’s programme
Friday:
- Arrival of participants during the day, the campsite is open so early or late evening/night arrival is no problem. Saturday:
- Greenlaning trip, 70-80 km in length. Facilities:
The meeting will take place at a public campsite, with space for tents and two small challets, which can accommodate 4 people each. There are shared showers and toilets, nice and clean. There's a small pub behind the reception desk which serves (except beer) some basic food, like sausages, bread and some cold meals. It's not exactly a luxury standard but people used to drive Land-Rovers should find the facilities sufficient. Beer usually costs around one pound per 0.5 litre glass, about the same costs a loaf of bread, for 7 or 8 pounds you can get a hearty meal here. Driving regulations:
The most apparent difference (apart from driving on the right) is the daylight lights-on rule, i.e. your lights need to be switched all the time. You should have an internationally valid proof of liability insurance (which is locally called the green card, showing that your vehicle is insured and the validity of the document), the speed limit for cities/towns/villages is 50 kph. Other than that it’s 90 kph outside cities/towns/villages and 130 kph on motorways. Motorways are toll-roads, you need to have a motorway sticker/vignette attached to the lower right part of your windscreen, proving you have paid the toll. Currency:
CZK (approx. CZK 28-29 = 1 GBP) / if you need to change on week days, you can do so at banks or exchange counters (there should be a few in Kutna Hora as well, not sure about the weekend office hours, better to stock up for the weekend on Friday). VISA/MasterCard credit cards will be accepted in 90% of the shops incl. most supermarkets, but not at the campsite. Petrol prices:
About CZK 45-50 per litre (unleaded = called Natural 95 here). There are two fuel stations in Kutna Hora, availability elsewhere is no problem, both on motorways and main roads (most or all of them nowadays accept VISA/MasterCard credit cards).
