Anyone taking their laptop?

No Wifi to be seen. Could scour the local pubs and houses etc... but unless you're using it for emptying memory cards onto, I wouldn't bother, would be a bit out of place.

Think the only place you'll get wi-fi is the free stuff around McDonalds, don't think the track area is covered although saying that you can get t'interweb on your mobile.

We will probably take our laptop but only for photo downloading purposes!

we have to take our laptops, we are staying in a hotel with WIFI, but we need them as we still need to work whilst we are away.
I am taking my ipod touch though as it has the interweb and i can answer my emails just as quick.
Thanks,
Andrew

Radio Le Mans will give you all of the above and more.

Seriously, leave it at home, bury the car keys upon arrival, get drunk and worry about nothing until it's home-time.

Less is more

3 did, £50 for 15mb in spain the other week, however we have just taken a deal with vodafone whereby you pay £8.50 for 24hrs use abroad (you get 50 mb which will easily be enough for a bit of a blog).
