Club Arnage

The grass is nearly waist high and they are manfully trying to cut it in pouring rain. You'll get the idea from the pictures. The one of the high grass is where the Pistonheads camping site was last year.

And Houx...  :-X

For once glad that we're not arriving until Wednesday afternoon. 

That picture of Houx reminds me of 2007 - had friends camping in the unallocated plots by the wall nearest the track.  By the end of the race their tents were afloat, it all got left behind!

There's nothing like a bit of forward planning  ::)

Saw the same photos on PH this morning...

When is the first of our crowd due to arrive and send feedback; Packing the car tomorrow and want to know if I should pack flip-flops or wellies.....Cant trust the Weather thread ;D

Reminiscent of Sebring 2007, when I arrived after the worst of the weather (I'm no fool!!). This is what we found...

I also have a 44mb wmv file from the YFDS crew which has some fantastic footage from after the storms - including a guy with diving flippers and mask (why would you bring them to a motor race???), and somewhere I have a shot of a guy floating through the camp site on a lilo!

Pack both,  more than likely to need them!

At least at camp pidge, the tents did not fly off into the sky. Ask temie, what happened to hers??

Must have been a different "Camp Pidge" then. This was the aftermath

This guy was trying to catch his tent...

Things were no better at Turn 10 ;D

Today the usual points of entry were still barricaded with earth (to stop the pikeys camping) and I don't think the site will be open for business (well, not the far end anyway from the look of things) until Wednesday. As I type (5.15pm french time) it is truly hammering down again and it looks set in. Any significance in the animals going by two by two?

As our man in the (very wet) field, whats your take on the access discussed here.

http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/index.php?topic=9782.0

Is it possible to use the access under Terte Rouge by the stella bar to get on the chemin aux Beoufs and onto the houx annexe or has the stadium work blocked it?

No, you can access but there is a slight detour. From Carrefour go south to Tertre Rouge roundabout, exit direction Paris for 50 yds and then right down the hill behind the bar. Right again under the Tertre Rouge bridge and just carry on and follow the detour. Youll ebd up at the Houx roundabout.

Hi Lynxd67 - how does the stadium work affect access to Parking Vert?

Normally we come in up Ave. George Durand and take a right (almost back on yourself) into Chemin aux Boeufs, along past the Stella Bar (on the right), under the track, then take a right into the parking area (well it's straight on really) Is this route still accessible?

Best rgds,

Pete B.

Parking Vert isn't affected.

Many thanks.

Thats good news, we normally drop of the D323 onto the D338 at Terte Rouge, then go back on ourselves down the little slip lane behind the bar and then under the track and onto the dusty wilderness.

Thanks,

smokie that picture of the guy running for his tent, thats just awesome!

I'm optimistic untill I die, so I'm in for a week at Le Mans with nice warm weather and a lot of sun.

Yes, no more 2007ish rain and storm.

Knetter,

Termies was'nt the only tent to take flight at Sebring.........Mine and Neil's also went walkabout,but at least we were able to retrieve it, unlike Termie's which was completely trashed.

Wishy

Mine didn't take flight, it is the blue one with the cream panel on top in pics above. The reason why it it did not move is because it was FULL of water. Spent my Sebring sleeping in the car.

I also got lifted off (18st) the ground trying to hold a large gazebo down!

This year I had condensation dripping on me!

Still well worth the visit though (thanks Pidge)

>Martini...LB

Wellies and long cape.

Shades, floppy hat and sun block.
Trust me

No probs for Saturday
