Houx newbies

[Coops24]

Having been evicted from MB, my group have obtained tickets for Houx. Does anyone have a diagram/idea of pitch numbers? We have pitches 1,2,3,8,9,10 and I want to get an idea of how we will be placed. Looking forward to our French jolly it has been too long.
Cheers
Coops

The pitches will be in a "Rang". This will give an idea of the location. There was a massive re-planning of the camping layout in 2019 and I've only seen a partial map of the new layout.

You're lucky to get Houx. Rather quiet and French, but electric

Google found this, but there may be changes/cock-up, and you need to know which rang. Thank you Sportcarworldwide

Thanks for the prompt response chaps. Fingers crossed that we get there in June. 🤞

[Coops24]

Just checked the location, won't be a long walk to use the facilities.

It inside the ticket zone, so it's a right palaver getting in and out...too late now but epinettes is a much better option IMHO

Got to love houx.

The yellow squat block of peril has so many interesting memories!

Sshh! We don't want everyone knowing about Epinettes. Best kept secret of the LM camping scene....

There's a few places I 'hate' that I don't publish too loudly!

[LawrieC]

For those us used to Maison Blanche, Epinetes is far too far away.

Although the full program hasn't been published yet, I suspect that MB had to die to make room for all the new fun events that we'll all ignore

[Coops24]

It was only a matter of time before we were removed from MB. The last 2 years gave the ACO ample time to plan for closure, so it came as no surprise. I am sure the 1664 and vin rouge will help us cope. I promise we won't try and infiltrate Epinettes next year.

[Some Gump]

Coops, once you've experienced electric and no generators, cold beer from the fridge.. You'll be hooked on Houx!

[Coops24]

Marvellous. 👍

[Tyre Smoke]

So what Rang are you in?

[Coops24]

65 plots 1,2,3,8,9,10. Hopefully enough room for us.

[Tyre Smoke]

Slap bang in the middle. Right next to the famous long drop toilets and a snack bar. The maps only give a vague idea of the area you will be in, because they mark the plots out slightly differently each year. You should have plenty of room, each plot is 7m×5m but remember, you have to get your car on that too.

[Coops24]

We normally have 3 plots and manage to do ok. However, we are 20 or 21 strong this year. So could be fun and games.

[LawrieC]

Do you have bunk beds? or is it 3 to a sleeping bag or a shift system

[Coops24]

We always seem to get it sorted. Daft question time,how do I get the emojis seen as I tried in an earlier post and failed miserably?
I won't be offended by any responses regarding my ability.

Wow.

We normally take advantage of the competitive priced BSJ to have one pitch per person. This year will be a palatial 13 pitch layout.
