Excellent work Matey, looking forward to it.

Me and my mates are booked into a hotel, I did suggest camping but they preferred the hotel option.

If you're not camping at the circuit, you miss half of the point in going

You'd be better hiring a motorhome. But then Seat don't make any....

Slumming it? didnt we on our last outing have something of a feast.

Chilli, baked potatoes followed by speciality cheeses and finaly washed down with quality port.

I will have to get my chefs hat on to see what I will be able to conjour up in the middle of a French field. We will have to try and raise the bar to new levels

Oh how the happy memories just flooded back, that chilli sure was good....

Yeah I should thing so. Last year I was in there early ish on Sat evening.

A good crack if I remember

2 pitches on the Beausejour camp site allocated to you and me Phil. Should be about 4 weeks till the booking forms will be out.

Im really looking forward to LeMans 2007.

Are we going to do the 10am Weds Speedferries crossing?

 

[Empi5]

Yes mate , are we going for the 2pm return on the Monday ?

Chris 16V mentioned that he could be interested with his mate, so hope to hear from him soon,..

I will book our ferry today, and let you know....

 

[Empi5]

Grrrrr the selected times we want are now full, and all other prices have increased. Hmmmmmm...... ideas ?

What about Dover-Calais with P&O.

Outward 13/6/07 10.05 £20.00
Return 18/6/07 15.25 £25.00
(Fuel Surcharge £12.00)

Total £57.00

If we get on this and Paul gets the 10 am Dover-Boulogne, we could easily meet up at one of the services on the A16 (past Boulogne) as we have to get on the A16 and pass Boulogne anyway.

Other option is Dover Dunkerque. Its only £14.00 each way, but it lands to far north for me, then we will have to back track down the coast.

For me Dover-Calais will be ok.

 

[Empi5]

Good for me, I will book it now.

[Empi5]

Right then, its all booked. Must say i thought we would get a bit more interest but never mind, its going to be fun thats for sure.......

 

[Deleted member 7729]

I've had plenty of interest from the chaps I'm going with but **** all interest in paying me back !

 

[Empi5]

Mike, when you going down, ferry/camping etc ?

The reason for this appears to be that they were planning on having a second boat which will not be available in time, so the timetable has now been amended and all the bookings combined onto one boat. My sailings have changed both ways and also my sailings booked for the Spa 24 hours in July.

Still spaces left on our campsite apparently.

It seems that I'm on Beauséjour as well. I'm in a triple-pitch with some of the nutters from www.beermountain.com
