All booked up for LeMans 2014

[SEE YA]

Well paid my deposit, for the campsite with food included only got to buy lunch while we are out.
Ferry ticket's being booked end of the month, still looking for the best roadcover in case the worse happens e.g. us and the car back to the U/K.
Travel insurance as well will be looked into as before.
We are going from Portsmouth to Caen, then two hours and a bit drive to the campsite.

Who have you booked through

[SEE YA]

Bounty camping, not camping on the inside of the track again. Its got a bit like the LITTLE BIG HORN even with a fenced in site.

[Beerwagon]

Our group will be camping close to the track and I booked the campsite in April this year.....

[vincegail]

Booked april 2013 for the 2013 race, or booked april 2013 for the 2014 race?

[Jmorgan93]

Similarly got a reservation in, all in camping/ferry/admission with Travel Destinations, helpful guys considering its my groups first time! Deposit will be due in august when official prices are confirmed, pay the balance by April 2014, happy days.

Gonna be going dover-calais ferry and staying in Houx - cant wait! Shame its so far away...

How long does your ferry crossing take to warrant cabin bookings? your return ferry is double the price of my (individual) booking for the week

[SEE YA]

Its about seven hours with my son a cabin would be better and more comfort.
After we get to France, two hours and a bit then at the camp site.
Its better than five hours, plus driving from Dover and extra fuel cost miles on the car etc.
The cost of a cabin was £70 each way TV, drinks free in the room etc.
The biggest saving I have made is that my son is half price at the campsite and that our booking includes food as well. We only have to buy our lunch?
So the money I save go towards crossing cost like a cabin. If you remove the £140 from the price its not that bad I think? Each to there own about your LeMans trip.

You can book without them as well.

Campsite booked in April this year for June next year, ferries booked today for 4 cars. Only 10 months to go.....

[stemll]

1st Tickets advance booking form filled in today. In the post tomorrow morning with the deposit.

Back on the PH site for the 3rd year but looks like we're back down to just two of us from four this year.

Just booked my crossing on the Normandy Vitesse both ways for '14, was such a breeze this year decided it's the way to do it for my gang.....especially getting back to work on the Tuesday not feeling like I've just been dug up!

[gman2207]

Just paid my deposit for Houx Annexe, as a group we have around 20 pitches in total

Not sure how i missed this until now, been ages since you posted it...

Thats fair enough, travelling with your son it'll undoubtedly just make it more relaxing. 6 hours in a car and 2 on the ferry from home to le mans is easily passed by my group so should be a laugh

[RemaL]

Well our group booked the ferry there and back

Plymouth to Roscoff night ferry on the Tuesday night.
Caen to Portsmouth on the Monday evening

So glad I have got that and now just sorting tickers with the company we used for the past 4 trips there
