Feet every time.  And being a grumpy old woman, I get very p*ssed off being run over by lazy gits who seem to have lost the use of theirs.  Ducks for cover.

Walking fro me too - I borrowed a bike some of the time last year, but TBH it wasn't much quicker as the Jean-Claudes at the KN entry gate wouldn't let them into the circuit, so had to go the long way with it every time. Gave up in the end.

You're either at Le Mans, or waiting for Le Mans!

Yep always walk, or stagger when heading back from DfH. I am taking a pedometer this year to check how far I walk. I reckon on about 25/30 miles over the weekend but wouldn't be suprised if it was more.

Getting around at Le Mans? there are some that would say I have not ever got a round at Le Mans, but they are liars.

I brought a round of stellas in 1998.

Obviously is from the US, but they have just been announced in the UK.  Article in the paper last weekend about them - the first (motorised) unit will be around £500, and you can add more wheeled but not motorised units to make a 'train'.  IIRC there was a choice of petrol or electrical power.

In the UK, of course, if you take it on the public highway you'll need license, tax and insurance!!

I'm sure I'd be alright unless the incline was above 0%. The UK distributor is

http://www.nickgalecustoms.co.uk/cruzin%20cooler.php

Some excellent sales patter:

Seats are not essential, but let's be honest, you are gonna look really silly flying down the road on a drinks cooler without a seat.

When on the move, a drinks holder cut into the lid of the cooler lifts up to give easy access to your cold drink or beer, and if you are a total piss head, a non powered trailer will hook onto the back of the main cooler, and hey presto, you can pull along loads more drinks and you even get the option of dragging the missus behind you! If you haven't got a better half, well how could you fail to attract one with one of these? Available in Black, Blue, Red or White, we have given our best shot at selling you on the idea of owning an article that frankly has no use in society, but maybe the answer to your prayers at rallies.

Love that walking stuff I could watch all day... seriously though I have benn known to do a fair bit of walking....

Tent, car (read Cooler box or voddy & coke), chair, car, chair, car, chair, toilet, car, chair, car, chair, car, chair, car, chair, car, chair, toilet, car, chair, car, chair, car, chair, car, chair, car, chair, toilet, car, chair, car, chair, ....  THEN in the afternoon I repeat the process...

There is nothing like getting out and about in the fresh air...


I did walk to the town once, couldn't walk back

I am sure we could do better!
A chest freezer mounted on a go kart chassis with rear mounted gennie and fuel tank... 2 seats up front, 2 each side facing outwards behind pilot and co pilot. Refreshment stops would mean a team dismount but then you have the interest factor... and could sell beer, ice creams or chilled toilet roll for those that took the revised Chilli challenge the night before!!!!
