traveling to LeMans 07 from western Canada

[trevorc]

The SNCF website is well known over here as one of the most cr*p on the planet!  I'll study it a bit and see what I come up with.  Can you give me your proposed dates/times of travel?  It may in the end prove easier to book with Eurostar UK but I'll have a look.
Right.  If you leave Waterloo at 08.39, you arrive in Lille at 11.26 (having lost an hour).  Leave Lille at 12.33, direct train to LM arrives at 15.10.  The best way to book this on line is by using the "Voyage SNCF" link on the opening page of their site.

Thx Termietermite...        I'll have another go at the site on Wed or Thurs    hee hee

This is starting to get exciting...  how many days ??  must be less than a 100 now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Trevor

I've just started a new thread on the general discussion section about what kit people need for this year.  If you want to let us know what you're bringing (not much I imagine?) and what you need we can start assembling kit.

It's exciting isn't it!!   The best bit is that - when you get there it really is as fab as you hoped it might be.      Well it always is for me anyway. 

When and where are you due in to LM?  Presumably the main train station?

Hi Trevor - not long to go now!

Have you worked out when you are hitting Le Mans?

Hi Trevor

Good to see you're not too excited 

I'll respond to your pm this evening or tomorrow.

Not sure about bugs, I was badly bitten one year but I think that was something to do with a very long lunch, than ran into evening, next to a river.  I think it was rose wine in my veins rather than blood they were after    I'd forgotten how I react to bites and spent the rest of the weekend looking like spotty dog 

I've not had a problem other than that year and never bother with sprays etc.  although I do now carry piriton to deal with the reaction in case I do get bitten!

[trevorc]

LOL   ... me excited...   not one bit...
