Houx Campers

[taylor172]

so as the race is now closer than the last one was it means i can start getting ready and excited for this year

2nd year on Houx for us, 4th year at the race.

Met some cracking people on the site last year, so who is camping on Houx this year

This thread has come one year too late. I switched to Tertre Rouge this year, after having spent 2 year at the Houx, rang 30.

I still haven't forgiven you for leaving us

I'm on Houx again this year. Black Jeep Grand Cherokee + caravan

[taylor172]

We met some folk on there that had been every year for something like 58 years, apart from one year when he son was born, he admitted it was bad planning on his part and organised the birth of subsequent cheldren around the event.

Met some Welsh guys last year who all came down in Abarth 500's. had a good chat at the burger bar in the Houx at about 2am Friday night. Nice lads.

[taylor172]

haha those guys looked so fun rallying around in them little cars!

[Captain Bongo]

We are at Houx again this year. Third year running. Can't wait!

[couzens]

3rd year on Houx for me and 11 others.

The campsite to be on tbh!

[Irish]

On Houx proper for the first time. Refugee from previous trips at Beausejour, Houx Annex and Team Langoustine.

8 years this year, done Houx 2 years ago and had to unfortunately bale during the McNish safety car period due to issues at home, but personally i think that Houx has no soul compared to others, basically due to the fact everyone turns up so late. We normally arrive Tuesday, so that worked against us for atmosphere, lots will disagree :-)

[vincegail]

I certainly disagree, having arrived at 10 am on sunday morning a week before the race the last two years!

Depends what you mean by atmosphere. Houx was relaxed in 2012 but that was good for me. After risking our lives in Beausejour in 2007 when total ahole$ were racing their EVOs round the tracks inches from people's tents I'm all for a slightly restrained atmosphere (but not too restrained) Houx generally ticks most of my boxes.

[Dicky]

off to Houx this year, always use it as!! come over for a beer

[taylor172]

Cant come soon enough, need some sunshine

Almost the opposite here, I'm lookin forward to sunshine less likely to try and kill me (i.e less than 40+ degrees C)

[taylor172]

you in oz? can we swap?

[Irish]

Feel free to drop over to the Irish camp for a beer. Will be flying an Irish flag - we are known for our ability to set up a bar.....

[Browneye]

First year at Houx with 5 others, previously only stayed at Beausejour and Blue so this should be like the Savoy for us!

[taylor172]

an Irish bar sounds just the trick.

might have to take a flag pole this year,

[Speario]

Me and 7 others are back after missing last year.

Stayed at Houx 2010 & 2011.

In 2011 we had the "Corona Bar" and in 2010 we had the Nunchuck Cricket Match & the gold and black transit.

This year we're hoping to top last year with an even bigger set up. Look for the Corona signage an George Cross.
