Friday we were not allowed to take in Cans of Beer. Coke was OK.
Saturday, Coke was NOT OK, so I asked why had the rules changed and the lady checking from Houx to the Track waved as in.
Sunday, Beer smuggled in.

Really ACO, it's getting beyond a joke. your Beer prices are way too high.

On the way from Calais to Le Mans, the tunnel was closed on Wed PM at around midnight, so again we were diverted around the town.

Motorhome search for Security reasons, looking for terrorists and guns etc. However, all they did was look inside the MH, they did not look in the toilet/washroom, nor in the locker under the bed.
This was at 3.30am when there were no cars coming in, and at least 5 on the gate !
They were not looking for drinks on Houx.

Also arriving on Houx on Thursday, but early AM, so about 3am or so. Doubt I'll find anyone up as we did the same last year, and proceeded to spend 45 minutes following a bloke on a bike who had no idea where our pitch was !
Safe Travels.

Last year the App never worked for me, it was possibly due to bandwidth issues.
It never updated.
Wifi is virtually non-existent in previous years, and as my Le Man buddy is no longer an ACO member, we don't get into their areas with Wifi anymore.

I am a Three customer, so the Feel at Home service works OK for email and Messaging services, and I use a Thee MiFi as well. Neither of these are good enough to stream video in my experience.

Won't be taking the bikes, cos they got nicked last year !

Is this not for a limited period until the end of the school holidays. I read somewhere it ends in early Sep ?

I was there a few weekends ago, and did the Circuit Tour and a visit to the Museum. The tour guides expect about 400,000 this year, and you can still buy infield tickets on the day. They did indicate that all the seats are sold, but they were still encouraging people to turn up on the day.
It was an awesome tour, and well worth the 2 hour drive from my Hotel in Mason, OH.

Booked yesterday, Out via the Tunnel, Wed 21:20 back on the Sunday evening.

There were lots in the camping areas, lost count in Houx of water taps.

I was going to take my nice new Cube , and am really glad I did not. SO next time it will be a cheap bike, which I will remove the front wheel over night, so it will stop the scrote riding it out and use a number of meaty locks. The front wheel will be locked in the camper !

The nice bike will have to stay at home. I would be very unhappy to lose a nice one.

The bike I took was mince, but I had passed onto my son for him to use, and he was a little cross it had gone.

Eurotunnel, no delays either way.
Very simple, no noticeable changes to be honest.

I took a bike for the first time, decided against taking the Cube (£1K) and took a £120 second hand one.

Despite it being locked up, bolt croppers were used and the steel cable snipped. A number of bikes were also taken from Houx, it sounded to me like a planned effort to steal a bunch of bikes.
In the dark, the bike looked quite nice, I guess they were disappointed in the daylight, as it was quite well used and scratched.

It was not reported stolen, as I wanted to spend the last few hours of the race watching it rather than reporting it to the police.

We estimate it was taken between 3am and 4.30am on the Sunday morning. I got up to check if there was a sunrise photo opportunity to find it had gone. It was only 2 metres from my head, while I was sleeping in my camper.

My hope to the thieves, is that the front forks fail, and you need new teeth.

We were checked on the way out of Houx for glass bottles. Beer in plastic bottles was fine. And the prices in the Village were just over €9 for 50cl.

The rest of the Baguettes reported a 45 Min exit from Houx, so no different to MB on previous years, so in hindsight we could have made the Eurotunnel, but as it was, I got offered a much earlier train. Helps having a high vehicle.
