Oh heavens Peter.  I've told the best man that he will have to organise a stag do, but where and when is anyones idea.

[gibberish]

Ooops!

Sorry Peter.  No plans in that direction, but don't see why we can't link up.  I don't get away from Crawley much these days.  where might be conenient for you?

be good to wet the babies head

There will NOT be any babies involved   

I'm sure we can arrange a little something.  Are Saturdays OK?

There are plenty of sites (non-bookable) around Francorchamps.  Avoid the one behind the hotel, as they will rip you off, good and proper!  But there are no proper facilities in many of them - however, they are cheap and cheerful.  We will certainly be going back to our favourite one for the 24 hours, which is on the hill above the main entrance - at night we could see about 6 different bits of the circuit from there.  But it is very basic - though at 8 euros a night, who's complaining?

Can you really just turn up and get on one of these sites?  I'd need somwhere that had a wateer tap, and somwhere to drain the chemical toilet.

cheers

There is temporary camping at Les Combes for the 24 hour race. 

My slight concern about LMS is that it's a smaller event and it's early in the year and I wonder if all of the camping areas will be open?   It might also be frigging nasty weather!

I don't think we've every camped for LMS, last time I went it was later in the year I think and last time KK went it was awful weather, very cold and very wet - can't remember which year and what time of year though?

No loos or anything like them in the place I mention (I've never been to the LMS race but many of the car parks take tents too - and there are loads of them - so I don't think there'd be a problem; at least some of the makeshift sites - including Malmedy etc - should be open.)  The site I mention which is a rip-off (8€ a day for a small tent, add another 8 for a big tent plus another 8 for your car, plus extra for power and water....) does have better facilities, but my you pay!  On balance Eau Rouge or Spa D'Or (which runs a shuttle service to the circuit) are probably better if you need more than the basics.

Hmm, this is all going to take some consideration.  LMES or 24hr.  thenks very much for the info guys.  Much appreciated.

Been going to the LMS race for a while now and I can't seem to remember that there is any camping around the track for this race at all. Best bet is to go to a non racing campsite like eau rouge or Spa d'or.
