Just over 2 months to go, so approiate time to start this thread!
Out on the night boat to Caen on Thursday 6th June, arriving Arnage corner camping on Friday morning after a quick visit to SuperU for wine, meat, cake and I suppose a bit of green stuff if I must.
Soul Red Mazda Cx-5. Rammed with 2 holidays worth of luggage.
Rhys arriving Saturday.
Leaving Monday morning after the race and heading south to Toulouse to pick up SWMBO at the airport, son house sitting if any toe-rags reading this!
That will be a bucket list item ticked, heading south not north after the race!
2 weeks on the Med, Bezier and Nimes, and back on the evening boat on the 2nd of July.

My lot plus Elanman's lot, various routes and times, arriving mainly from the Monday onwards.
On Hippodrome this year with a mix of pitches after the ticketing debacle - but on the plus side, we got tickets and we're on the same campsite.

BSJ again for us this year after lack of Epilepsy availability >:( - getting used to the 'joys' of BSJ after last year, at least the bus/train is OKish.
Advance party arrives Friday 7th, remainder variously some time before 15:00 Saturday, lol.

You lucky b@st@rds. We've been try to get into Houx Proper since they blew up Maison Blanche. And yes, these campsites are too much of a hike :'(Title: Re: Who, Where, What When 2024

Newhaven Dieppe on overnight Tuesday/Wednesday, same route back Sunday night. For some reason the longer crossing is much cheaper than Dover Calais and saves a fortune in fuel and motorway tolls!
Staying on Houx Annex this year, slowly working round all the campsites. Cant understand why Epinettes so much more money.
Only 2 of us going this year - should make decision making easier!

Rashly, I will be back this year with both almost grown up children, Tristan and Esmeralda.
Tristan's first Le Mans was 2011 when he was 11, but this year will be my daughter Esmeralda's first - I'm sure we all remember our first trip.
Out from Pompey on the Tuesday night, back Sunday night.
Camping on Epinettes.
Unless I get the old M5 sorted quickly, including some potentially expensive engine work, it will be a very dull drive in a Ford Mondeo.

I remember bringing my boys for the first time, although they were a bit older. The eldest in 2016 and the younger one in 2018. The younger one has come back in 2019, 2022 and 2023 (with his partner) while the older one came back in 2018 and then said he wasn't coming back again until he was working there. He spannered for Nielsen in 2020 and Algarve Pro (G-Drive) in 2021, ironically the two years out of the last 38 that I had to miss! ;)
