First party are heading down on the Tuesday. That'll be Dad and his other half, hopefully in the Mk2 Jag but its still in the process of being rebuilt. They might be heading down with another couple but I don't know.
Second party are heading down on the Wednesday - Dover/Calais/LeMans via the old scenic route (non-peage) most likely...its been requested. That'll be me in the Quantum (as long as it passes the MOT in a couple of weeks), Two Rob's in a Bora, My brother and ?? in a Jetta, My other brother and ?? in ?? (possibly Mk1 Golf), and maybe Ben in his work van aka mobile fridge. But he might be meeting us there.
All will be wearing the 24H roundels, all staying on Epinettes, all heading back on Monday. Most planning on buying GE on the gate so I hope we can get them when we're there!
Say hi if you see/pass us!

Tristan (Mr T) and I will be travelling via Pompy overnight on Tuesday. Back Sunday. We'll spend Tuesday on the Normandy beeches before I pass a paper map over and enjoy the scenic route. We will be staying on Houx where I hope/will have a flag  Mr T claims to be busy next year (exams) so will need to get two years worth this year, so if you see him not dancing/drinking a beer, please help.

Team Pretzel (me and the other half) in the Cayman
Depart Pompey - Caen Wed 15th at 08:30
Staying: Hotel de France @ Chartre sur Loire (fantastic historical connections with Le Mans) and not too far to commute to La Sarthe.
Return Cherbourg - to Pompey Mon 19th at 17:00
Hoping to meet up with Neil, Tom etc. on Houx sometime during the period to share a beer or 2.
Getting close now and from what I've see so far, shaping up to be very interesting :-)

The official Zarse arrival, which most people will be able to hear since we will be aboard the Jeep 6.2litre Hemi, will be on the hollowed turf of BN from thursday afternoon. We will be last to bed as usual until sunday afternoon when we head back to Dieppe where we will probably be last to bed again. We have found a cracking new casino on Dieppe Plage which stays open on a sunday until 3am and where we have booked some very reasonable rooms...

For a variety of reasons, our English contingent are all on Epinettes this year... It will certainly make the walk to (or rather back from) the Brethren party somewhat more of a challenge than usual!

It looks a bit of a hike on the map, so why not drive? It will be fine. |

Received our camping pitches from Team Langoustine yesterday.
We're on rows 82 & 82.
However I have U82 & U83, then V82 & V83 plus W83 and T82 so not exactly a rectangular plot.
Just wondering if anyone has the pitches next to us and is there a swapsies opportunity?
It's just my OCD-ness wanting a nice 2 pitch x 3 pitch set up this year.
Thx
Paul
