Cheap folding stool

[boycieboy]

I know it is 5 months+ till Le mans but I have just noticed (and purchased) this cheap seating implement for my Le Mans trip

At £3.24, doesn't matter if it only last one trip.
Packs small and OK to sit on although, that does depends on the size of your bum!

It's in the 'clearance' section and ends (so they say) 29th January so may need to be quick.

Roll on June

You'll find that most uncomfortable dude. Much better to get a proper folding canvass chair that comes in a bag that you can sling over your shoulder.

Thirded

Plus the folding chairs have built in beer holders!!!

I'm going to take a canvas one for when 'on camp', just thought this would be better for when around the circuit? Smaller, cheaper etc

If it's rubbish I'll just bin it and carry the other one! (or save it as an offering to the pikeys on the Monday!)

Good chair at Le Mans will make or break you.

Yeah. Don't scrimp on quality. The £10 versions from Tesco will break. The best ones I have found are at Blacks for about £20 and have a bag with shoulder strap. My advice would be to take 2 chairs as well.

a friend too a cheap chair and broke the day he got to le mans. So pay that little extra. as alreay posted

Indeed a cheap folding stool will result in a most unpleasent Le Mans experience..

Decent quality canvas chairs (with beer holders) are vital.

No, use it, it'll be great (fun for the rest of your group when you're too pissed to sit on it without falling off )

I can see it happening, maybe we will make it a competition for the trip, winner keeps the stool (or should that be loser )

I fell asleep on a three legged folding stool whilst watching the race once. Only woke up when my nose was embedded in the earth.

Our local Donnay in the outlet store near us has golfing type brollies for £2.49 each - I intend to buy 5 or 10 to take away. At that price they're disposable and I can also donate spares to the wettest looking individuals as required.

Similar to 2006 where ///Mike passed out on the grass in his sleeping bag and coat only to wake up bright red and sweating like a rapist at around midday having royally cooked.

It Broke Me, I had a great Stars n Stripes folding chair with Beer holder on the Houx campsite (secure!) Yep You guessed it....... It got Stolen

Carrefour will provide!

Trust me!! forget all those folding jobbies as they generally break unless you pay £15 upwards. Plus they take up room in the car. We always buy these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hhsw-Vela-Chair-Forest-Gre... from carrefore at about £5 each and leve them for the Pikeys. There comfy and if they get wet you wipe them down.
