Where are you coming from?
Discussion
For the first time, I am not travelling from England. I now live in Frankfurt so will be doing the drive all on my tod and meeting up with the rest of the team in Le Mans on the Wednesday.
Mainly I'm wondering if anyone else is coming from a non-UK place (apart from Lowdrag, that's just cheating!) and if so what will your route be?
Call me mad but I am not going on any toll motorways in France, adds a couple of hours to the journey but I'd rather have the €80 in my pocket!
Not long now...

Two of our group are coming up from Cornwall (which according to the locals isn't England technically), then going via Dover.
The other is driving, wait for it....
From Dumfries to Plymouth, then up to Dover with the rest of us for 6am on the Wednesday.

The two from Cornwall wouldn't include a certain Chris with his second Cobra would it?The other is driving, wait for it....

I'm coming from northern Lincs (again) via Pompy and Le Havre rather than Hull Zeebruge this year.
Only asking 'cos my Cobra now resides in Cornwall with a chap who will be a virgin at Le Mans this year.

Im coming from Munich on the tuesday night / wednesday morning all on my own as well.
Thanks for the info about tolls, i never realised they were that much!
That is a bit of an estimate, it could be less but not by much. I was reckoning on about €40 each way, ish.Thanks for the info about tolls, i never realised they were that much!
Just looking on Google Maps now, doing Munich to Le Mans without tolls comes out at around 12 hours! Using tolls gives 9hrs 25 mins so for you it might well be worth spending the extra if you can stretch to it. For me it makes a diff of around 2 hours (according to Gmaps, I've never done the journey myself) and as I am scraping the barrel, I'll be taking the cheap option
