I was unsure if it would be numbered or not as ive been in Houx Annexe the last 5 years, so this years the first time somewhere new, its only going to be me and the missus so we wont be taking the piss on space
We'll be arriving Tuesday so will probably have the pick of the bunch
I can officially join this thread! This year I had assumed that I would not be going to Le Mans, due to my wife having our baby 5 months ago. Fortunately my wife is awesome and the other day announced that she has no issue with me going! Just booked with Speedchills at Beausejour. Not my first choice of site, but this was all that's left with us booking so late and I'm just happy that I'm going to be there! (frankly I would have accepted a hedge to sleep in).

She's a keeper! If you see us in a LHD white Cayman at the scabby end of Bsj, we'll happily join you in a toast to Mrs dredgey.gt6 said:
We arrive tuesday as well, look us up, probably taking a silver jag estate and a black dodge charger usually pitch in the middle of the site or against the wall at the back
We'll be down on Weds, should be there mid morning....hopefully there'll be a bit of space left against the wall for us when we get there too. Would also be nice if there is no thunder and lightning when we get there this time !dredgey said:

Similar situation to me, only I told her before she conceived that under no uncertain terms would I be missing another year baby or not! Our second son was born 31st Jan '14!LancsDriver said:

Sounds like you sensibly made some good ground rules well in advance. As this is my 5th Le Mans in a row I couldn't quite get away with putting my foot downdredgey said:

I leave 7 weeks today 
7 weeks tomorrow for us & l haven't even ordered the 'livery' yet for my car (though l did tick the music list with a new specially made exhaust last week as apparently the old one needed replacing 
). I hope the shortened journey from Caen is as good as the run from Calais & the locals are awake before we disembark

This year I turning out to be a bit of a task 
Because I knew the time involved in booking things early to avoid disappointment, I've ended up organising a trip for 27 + people, Ferries, payments, Camping payments, Chateau accommodation and group dinner! Deposit for the chateau.
And sod all help!
Le mans is in my thoughts every day sorting this lot out!
