Any Yorkshire PHers doing Le Mans this year? If so, how, when, where etc.

We're setting off Wednesday evening for an early morning Chunnel on Thursday. Overnight at Ashford and stopping at White Rabbit when we get there.

Anyone doing similar?

Pretty much the same then. I'll look out for the exige.

We're hoping to set off about 5:30 from South Kirkby and are on the 07:50 Chunnel. The rest will fall in to place on the way.

I think I'm on the 0350 tunnel. Steady drive down and a beer in Arnage while I wait for the others.

Just some notes as I am down in La Rochelle having driven down yesterday (though not for Le Mans)

  • The new M25 speed gantry things were very sensitive, was like a strobe light show
  • Rouen has a lot of roadworks on the outside routes, sat nav pushed me through the centre which was manageable at 11am but will be bloody awful early on or late afternoon
  • French roads are lovely, I did Calais to La Rochelle in about 6:45 without breaking the limit once and only coming off cruise control a few times.

We should be just in front of you on the road in France Moribund. Depends whether you're on the ferry with the bad leg or not. They might have cured it by now though I suppose.

See you at White rabbit if not on the way down.
