Well, the Bloodhound LeMans trip went from 5 people, down to 4, then 3, then 2, now only me. So that's it, all off for this year as I'm not rocking up as billy no mates.

Balls.

If I wasn't flying home from Majorca on Satuday afternoon I would have gone out with you. Haven't been since '88 so I'm well overdue another trip down to LM.

Maybe next year. Unless, of course, swmbo books another holiday to co-incide with the great race next year!

Go by yourself! I went by myself in 2010 and in many ways it was my best year. I met loads of great people, the only time I was by myself was in the car (obviously) and on the ferry (I was trying to catch a few Zzzz's).

Every petrol station or any where else en route that I stopped people would come over and talk, ask me to pop by for a beer or two. Then when I got to the campsite I immediately got chatting to my neighbour's who to this day I am still really good friends with them, in fact I went to Le Mans with them last year and am going with them this too.

I wouldn't even hesitate to go by myself again, everybody is so friendly and you immediately have something in common, after all everybody is there for the same reason - watch some racing, have something to drink cook some ropey food and to generally have a great time.

The other benefit of going alone is that you can do what YOU want when you like as you have no ties. What have you got to lose? The only way if you lose is if you don't go IMO as not only are you losing out financially but also missing out on one of the best weeks of the year.

Do it!

Which part of Beausejour are you on? I am in the Speedchills, if you are in the same area then give me a shout and we'll meet for a beer.

Now I know I keep saying this but...Just go, you will have a whale of a time!

My first Le Mans was in 2008 and I went with my young son who was 11 at the time. I was cursing some Danish B@@@@@@d who blocked my tent in when I was at Carrefour to what I thought was a German. Turned out they were Danish also, and what a weekend we had. Partied to all hours with lots of people around and its an experience i will never forget. Breakfast was coffee and Baileys.

Just go for it.

Whats the worst that will happen. Deeply sorry I cant go this year due to work commitments.

Last year I responded to a passenger wanted thread on Beermountain and had the best time with the guys I went with. So much that I'm going with the same crowd this year and my brother in law is coming along for the ride.

Trust me, get yourself over to France, you will have an awesome time and everyone will take you in. If you find yourself on Maison Blanche, feel free to join us!

There's 7 of us in BSJ as well. I strongly advise you just go. Not related to Le Mans, but I ended up going on a summer holiday on my own (which wasn't planned that way), took the plunge and frankly it was one of the best holidays I can remember.
JFDI!

Do it any way.

Almost went solo in 2003, but last minute someone else came along. Still would have gone though... The pull of Le man was too great to resist!

I'm sure you'd have a great time.
