Does anyone know of the latest accurate pitch map for Houx?

There is one on Beer Mountain from 2013 but it doesn't match what I remember from last time and doesn't seem to match the numbering on our tickets.

It's France so no, as the actual pitch layout will depend on who's physically paining the lines/how often they actually look at the pitch plan someone else has divised (quite possibly on a map drawn by someone who's never actually been on to the Houx field).

Next you'll be wanting the people on bikes showing you to your pitch to:
a) Have any clue as to the site layout, where your pitch is or even the ability to work out that if you're looking for row 22 and you pass row 9 AFTER passing row 10 you're going the wrong fecking way!
b) Be able to cycle faster than 0.5kph and so slower than your car goes at idle in 1st gear.

Club Arnage have one that's usually about right - they tend to adjust it depending on the weather beforehand, etc.. e.g. the non-numbered pitches sometimes move and the numbers adjust due to those changes.. or the TVR car club one, although I think they're from the same source..

this one? http://www.tvr-car-club.co.uk/images/archives/NewH...

or this one, which linked from PH... http://s234.photobucket.com/user/james350d/media/2...

Pretty much what this guy said. We did half a lap of Houx last year, only to be shown to 6 pitches which weren't adjacent (as we'd booked). Thankfully my pigeon French highlighted the issue, and we were plonked in our rightful spot.
