Will there be fuel? wink
It looks like your typical, long drop, picnic & dogging stop, no fuel.

Not a great deal of room either, presumably they'll just take over the truck section when the PH massive turns up.....?

Excellent! We'll be there early as we're staying in a hotel in Rouen on Wednesday Night, Sure I'll find some space on the van for some extra stickers!

A fresh T-Shirts will also be required after a few hours driving in a van, 3 up with no air conditioning!! thumbup

We may pop in on the way down, we normally stop there for a wee anyways. Just out of interest, with all the ZUTO sponsorship mentioned in the advert/editorial, does that mean that they will be offering a PH discount code in order to reduce their generally hilarious interest rates hehe

We should be hard to miss... just keep your eyes peeled for PH signs once you've gone past junction 20 on the A28, south of Alencon and about 20 miles North of Le Mans!

Fairly sure that's one of the Aire's where an unmarked police car was hiding last year, giving the officers a good view of Autoroute and approaching cars. Maybe the PH presence will foil the police!

Sorry - we were late courtesy of the delays through Rouen!

Anyone arriving after 11:45 was in Luck!

Apologies everyone that beat us there... Hopefully all of those that did meet us were pleased that they stopped.

It was a pleasure! Next year we're going to take even more goodies - we were blown away by how many people stopped by to say hi and grab some free stuff and have a chat.
