Maison Blanche mayhem (?)

[Fran]

getting a whole batch of 'I love Camping Bleu' t-shirts made

Nooo - my t-shirt is unique and not for mass marketing to MB refugees who dont appreciate the finer points of pitching up beside the runway.    It has to be worn with a sincere heart - not irony!

Thanks for the pics, FS.
I have requested and hope to get a square allocated pitch on an edge of BN; less neighbours to worry about noise 'n crowds, and easier to control as for potential theft of pikeys.

[Fran]

potential theft of pikeys.  

Whats all this talk of pikeys and theiving? (not just Paddy - several people have mentioned it)    

As far as I can recall there always seem to be more of those kind of problems on MB than we have ever had on Bleu?  

Mind you, it seems like the MB crowd have more valuables than the "back to nature" approach of Les Bleus.

There's a topic on here somewhere with lots of people talking about thieves clearing out tents and cars on bleu nord, you on the other hand are on the more quiet part of bleu, le sud

[Paddy_NL]

It ain't just the "petty little theft" we're a bit horrified about. Besides the passports, wallets, money and all "usual" stuff that people take to Le Mans, we have a numerous amount of things hired, lent and burrowed. I don't even want to think about the value we actually take to Le Mans. None of it is really insurable as it ain't ours and from experience I know some stuff ain't insurable either. If the DfH-pitch is emptied by pikeys it will be the day the DfH-hospitality will be over and done with. We'll have to pay everything back to it's rightfull owners ourselves

FS: thanks, but those pics look fine to me. You can if you want, my email address is in my profile.

[Lorry]

So its barbed wire and minefields for Blue Nord is it?

Great pics FS, but how many "flypasts" can we expect?

[Lorry]

I don't want any skid marks on the roof of the caravan!

Will the smell of jet fuel put me off my full English, will flagpole be safe, and which way should I aim the rockets?

A little off topic.......but any word on KN?

I requested KN tickets via termie, and to date have only recieved a letter acknowledging the request.

On the contrary - I used to be Bleu Sud, but got bumped to Bleu Nord 2 years ago!   

If everyone is going to be camped on Bleu Nord, I might have to buy more than a six pack of beers this year - there might be a bit more passing traffic!

Chris, best thing to do is send them an email with all details. They take a bit of time, but DO respond.
ticket@lemans.org

Best of luck with that, by the looks of it you will be looking at a rather empty MB from where you'll be

29 euros a pop? We are Club Arnage after all. If you go out to Arnage over the weekend you've got to travel, so it doesn't matter if you're out there to begin with.

No showers I know, but solar showers, battery powered clarkson jobbies etc. should see us through.

My allocation hasn't come in yet, but I think 6 tickets might be a bit optimistic (1st choice MB, 2nd HA, 3rd Houx, 4th KN)  I'd be more than happy to let any spares go to the needy (If I get MB, I'd let DFH have the whole shebang, as long as I wasn't too far away)

Maison Blanche
Houx Annexe
Houx
Karting Nord
Chappelle
Blue Sud
Expo
Musee
Terte Rouge

ALL CLOSED!!!

I don't think we will be going now! Looks like the french can't be bothered! Anyone up for a weekend in Germany? Perhaps the weekend before?

[BigH]

Holy Sh*t! My turkey was loaded!!
Maison Blanche gone
Blue Nord green and to the west
Skid marks on caravan roofs and the Liverpool Boys evicted by the bailiffs.
Surely I'm hallucinating or suffering from the onset of some sort of unpleasant (but colourful) gastric based illness?
Before I can say 'Rumpled Foreskin', I bet you'll have to buy a new Audi and have the coupons before you can park anywhere. I'm going to have to pick a 'Harumph' from the top branch of the humbug tree, and say that the Le Mans I grew to know and love has now finally expired, and the regulations won't even allow a death rattle. No doubt confirmation of my camping spot: 40 kms SW of Copernicus crater, Mare Nubian, Kin Milesaway, is in the post somewhere.
In the spirit of 'Spot The Ball', I think I'll print the attached, stick it to a wall, and camp where my vodka guided, blinfolded dart lands. Everyone have a go, £50 to the winner.

Oh, and a HNY to everyone!
