Idiots on the PH campsite

We suffered a similar issue on Sunday evening in Houx. In fairness he was the only cock in the site but someone in a MK2 escort was driving about the site like it was a rally track. Nothing gets the senses going like stones being flung at your tent as you lie inside it waiting for impact!
Not being pedantic but was that a black escort? As it was a MK1. Sounded rough as anything when he came upto the main gate to do some anticsdavesimmons269 said:
I was working for SC this year and have done a few times previously over a 9 year period. I was quite surprised at how much rubbish people left this year, felt a hell of a lot compared to previous years. The several 5l bottles of piss left behind was a nice parting gift 
But in comparison some of the public campers are pure animals.
The French ‘travellers’ are employed to come in at the end and clear up and drink any leftover beer etc. They also tend to come in during and clear out peoples tents, which happened to us a few years back. We caught him red handed and I won’t describe what happened next.But in comparison some of the public campers are pure animals.
We usually slash in a few stubbies and put the tops back.
Houx was quite tame this year, which was appreciated.
We had a drunk Frenchman that would not leave when asked, and was creeping out the girls and looked like he was trying to find something to nick.
Just as we managed to get him to leave, there were 4 or 5 blokes in dresses/drag turned up.
There were bike thefts over Sat night again, with substantial bike locks cut. Repeating what we experienced in the same location 3 years ago.
Also Sun morning there was a phone theft from our area.

We were near the idiots on bluenord on Sunday night near the tools who set fire to the tent, Tyres and other things my original post was related to the idiots on the first ticket PH secure site, who set fire to various items including the tent, (Ferrari, atom, white M3, etc, suprisingly enough they had vanished by the early hours of Sunday morning circa 5am I think, you get idiots on secure sites and insecure sites regardless
We spoke to Brian who dealt with things accordingly it seems

This really concerns me. BSJ was very low key this year with some low grade drifting done in a relatively open space.. very little evidence of idiots...
ACO are going to claim their booze restrictions worked... 2 litres of beer / 1 bottle of spirits per day are coming to a campsite near you....

I think that's a massive (and unwarranted) leap of logic, to be honest.BSJ has been a destination for late-bookers, casuals, cheapskates and boozers for a decade. It's been the most consistent source of "carnage" on Fridays and Sundays throughout most of this time too. I stayed once after making a late decision to go to LM, and I'll never go back there.
Therefore, why would a blanket restriction (of something integral to most people's LM trip) on all of the other campsites make any sense?

I'd argue that having to send the circuit fire engine to the campsite nearest the expensive planes on Sunday night might invoke the wrath of the ACO. Whether they choose to up the security on the Sunday night or increase it during the week (to reduce alcohol) is another matter. What I will say is the guy on the front of Bleu Nord most of the week was quite the a
hole even though we were polite and reasonable.

I went to Le mans with my dad a few times in the late 80's and early 90's. I've got some photos somewhere in the loft of a big bonfire in the campsite with a bloke driving a MK1 lotus cortina through the middle of the fire and doing donuts and stuff. This lot are old hat amateurs
I was thinking similar, I went in 1994 and experienced camping so disorganised all cars were blocked in by Friday night, no showers, the toilets were not cleaned the entire time I was there, bog roll was bring your own which judging by the hand prints on the walls was not realised by most people until it was too late. I still to this day wonder how drunk you need to be to miss the toilet bowl when sitting down for a dump. The stench by Saturday was gag inducing and people were crapping in the bushes.Come Sunday night there was finally some space between the tents leading to an Imreza, Evo and Audi 80 deciding it was time for an impromptu rallycross event. The Evo won and to celebrate fastened a rope to the car for some human sledging using a ground sheet. This resulted in his Impreza owning mate sliding into a parked car and breaking his leg.
The final highlight was this blokes generator that had packed up who decided seeing as beating it with a hammer could not fix it sticking a rag in the petrol tank and setting fire to it was the next best solution. This created a nicely out of control blaze to which he added the contents of his tent and then the tent itself, others then joined in with whatever they had to hand creating a nice black cloud over the site.
The modern Le Mans camping experience looks quite civilised in comparison.

Meh. It's not the first time there has been a fire on BN, and while it's "nearest the expensive planes" I'd say that calling it "near" is a bit of a stretch...hole even though we were polite and reasonable.Gassing Station | Le Mans | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
