What's this one like anybody? Fairly decent and comfortable, and not too far away from everything?

In a word, yes. It's just across the road from Maison Blanche.

In Bleu you'll usually find the Caterham Club (or is it Lotus 7s?) have a huge encampment (over 100 cars usually) which is well equipped. You'll also find the TWATS, some of whom we occassionally see here. It is well positioned and a good site.

Bleu is our site of choice, mainly because you can arrive as late as wednesday and still have a choice of where to pitch camp 8), MB resembles a tin of sardines by then :o.
It is no further than MB to the tribune areas, and the bogs and showers are better in my experience, as there is less pressure of numbers on them. Large number of trees provide a lot of shaded pitch areas, and it is quiet at night, just in case you actually want to get to sleep. ( remember the dutch kids on quads in MB last year)
Downsides are you don't have a trackside view from the site, and you have to post anti pikey guards on Sunday night. >:(
I am now going to hide while the MB crew tell you what a dump Bleu is compared with MB, and what a boring old f*rt I am. ;D ;D
Happy Christmas

At all times. We got done on the Saturday night a few years ago. The only problem with Bleu is that there is easy access (for the Pikeys) from the road. Other than that, It's a good site - my second choice after MB.

What sort of precautions? Is stuff OK locked in the car?

It's not only Bleu which has a problem. We got turned over on a Saturday night in MB 3 years ago, and I have spoken to somebody who got evertythig nicked whilst in Houx a couple of years ago.
Best advice I can give to anybody, is to keep things well locked away in car boots with LOUD alarms on.

Hi Barry Never Boring but must agree with the rest of your post ;D ::).
Kepping valuables locked away is always a good idea it amazes me how much stuff people leave out in full view and ii's still there when they get back.

Most valuable thing I'll have will be my camera, which I will keep very close...everything else possible will stay in the car.
