''As I was working out the best method to get to SHA from the UK I thought I might as well document it on the Wiki...''

== Assumptions ==
* Travel in time to arrive at some point 3 August 2017, but some tickets aren't available for that date yet so prices are guessed based on earlier dates.
* One is considering sensible options. While you could come by boat or hovercraft that's a bit of a stupid idea to cross the channel and you'll probably die.
* Coming by light aircraft is perfectly sensible and sane, you probably won't die, but is a bit silly. Nearest airfields are:
** [http://www.lelystadairport.nl/ Lelystad]- biggest GA airport in Netherlands
** [http://www.ehhv.nl/ Hilversum] - nice grass field, I've been
** [http://zcflevo.nl/ Flevo] - gliding site
* I'm coming from Northampton, but will probably make this kinda London-centric as that's the way the UK works.

== Drive ==

Google Maps suggests via the E40.
