Going to get this going,
Going on the Chunnel at 0930 Hrs on the Wednesday with Sidney, Lofty bloke and Ting Tong coming up from the South of France and were dossing down in Beausejour.
The dog has just farted so I predict lots of rain but bring flip flaps just in case.

Out via the Chunnel on Weds morning @ 09:50 - hoping to be on site by around 16:00 (sausage time).
Will be on BN amongst Club C'Arnage until Sunday afternoon, then heading to Chartres for a damn good shower, a decent steak and probably a nice bottle of vin rouge. Or two...
Returning via the Chunnel on Monday @ 15:06
Robin The Hod and I are travelling in my Merc, two more from Blighty travelling out on Thurs/Fri & two Brits (LuxExpat) from Luxurybourg joining us on Thursday. Lower numbers than last year but that will make catering easier

Me and She, stickered up RS Clio, dinner at 'Sovereigns' (right by the terminal, basic but handy) before the Pompey - Caen boat on Monday 12th at 22:45.
Breakfast in La Renaissance, Falaise, preceeding lunchtime arrival on Tertre Rouge, blue tent with CA flag, Mulsanne end of the site.
Sad return (I always feel downbeat on the return leg, you?) Monday 19th, 23:00 Caen - Pompey.
In only 26 days we'll be bowling up the lovely A303 toward Pompey! ;D

Years ago it was quite common to see a convoy of 2 seaters, followed by a big estate, with full length roof rack, bulging with luggage, tents, spare wheels, spare starter motors, fan belts, hoses and other parts.Me? Out Saturday night from Newhaven, (cheap) set up camp Sunday, whilst the others roll in over the next couple of days. As for the shelter, we did set up a co-op to buy one last Friday and then found another member of the team has already bought one. So that's a few bob more for beer.

Well people here will attest that that is common for me, but wow, what a schedule. You aren't even away from JFK for 48 hours and there is a 24h race in the middle of that!!
Impressed with your dedication/concerned at your madness (delete as appropriate!) :-)

I think that's a given!
I've done a few mad trips in the past (Spa and back in a day for the WEC, ALMS @ Mosport then ALMS @ Detroit then Silverstone 24hrs all in consecutive weekends) but JFK-LM-JFK within 48 hours wins the prize for a quick trip in my book.
I trust you are travelling with a decent carrier and in some decent seats ;D what could possibly go wrong....
