Thanks one and all!

Some really useful info here that will better preprare me for the journey ahead.

I have made some changes to the original plan. I am now on the 1045 crossing from Dover and so will be leaving Manchester at the (un)saintly hour of 4am - Nice!

I am hoping that this pushes the window just a little bit in my favour regarding the traffic round London. Fingers crossed!

Cheers

Jason

Thanks Andy & Phil.

Yeah I forgot about the rush at Birmingham in the morning - good point.  Best set the alarm clock even earlier  

Why Dover you ask? Well I decided in a moment of madness to take the hassle-free option of booking the whole gig via Page&Moyes this year since last year was almost a non-event due to the French   ......and P&M go from Dover.

Seems I needn't have been so hasty though as the ACO appear to have plenty of camping permits this year.

Nevermind  

Cheers once again.

Hello,

This will be my first time driving down from my home in Manchester to Dover. In the past I have stayed over at my mum and dads in Southampton and gone from Pompey.

Anways, my question is: which is better, the M1 or the M40 route from the M6?

I have looked at both routes and there isn't much in it but somebody with local knowledge or somebody who has tried both routes might be able to suggest their preference and why?

My crossing is 1345 on Wed 11 June although I am leaving at 0600 from home to try and get on an earlier crossing.

Liverpool Boys??

Any advice greatly appreciated  

I received an email yesterday morning from the Billitere (ACO Ticket office) informing me that I have 6 camping permits for Houx Annexe. I no longer require them as I didn't trust the French idiotd and went with a package deal this year!!!

My point is that you should telephone them direct and see if there are any left. There seems to be loads of tickets this year - nothing like the mad rush last year  

Hi,

Due to unforeseen medical reasons I am unable to attend this years Le mans  

I am therefore offering my Page & Moy tickets and travel package at face value less the deposit as I have already paid this.

Details:

Return ferry from Dover to Calais

Depart: Wednesday 11th June (Time to be confirmed)
Return: Monday 16th June (Time to be confirmed)

2 General admission tickets to the race.

1 Camping permit for Houx Annexe.

The total cost is £338 which I have not yet paid to Page & Moy. So transferring the package is straight forward - no sending me money or anything like that!

If you are interested reply here and I'll get back to you.

Cheers

Jason
