SPEEDY69 Posted Monday at 01:59 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 01:59 PM 37 minutes ago, PersonalResponsibility said: What sort of thing are you looking to do? Torun is a lovely place but there's not a great deal to do, although you should be fine for a couple of days. It's a nice place for a wander about, some lovely architecture like a lot of places in Poland. If I remember correctly, the prices are about in line with most other speedway places (aside from Warsaw), in that it's cheaper than the UK (where isn't) but not dirt cheap. The tram back and forth to the stadium will be coppers really, there's a stop virtually outside, and you'll certainly not miss the stadium! Enjoy your trip. We'll want two meals on both days and then drinks on top, including in the stadium, plus any tips. Not really looking to spend anything more than that.

I spent 5 days in Poland last month and never needed cash at all - just get a travel friendly debit card like Starling or Revolut and you'll be good to go.

PersonalResponsibility Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago 2 hours ago, Wee Eck said: Dan is in SON2 Even more reason to put him in if he's already there. Przyjemski, Blodorn, Bednar are all in their respective SON squads. Neither him nor Ellis will get in the main team anyway, so probably a moot point, but he's a young rider having a good season.

Rico Sound advice, you can just transfer a bit more if needed and convert while you're there, all done though their app, whatever you don't spend you can convert it back to £s and put it back in your bank. I use Revolut for every trip abroad, never had a problem, completely hassle free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
