I have tested the ACO app by assigning tickets to others, and also had one sent back to me after I sent them the wrong ticket 😂

In Beasusejour this year, wanted Houx Annex but the need to have 3 ACO accounts in step when booking meant that didn’t happen.

Is that for diesel and petrol? Does it also depend on where you fill up?
I filled up at home yesterday Esso was 151 a litre, went to Gillingham Kent where Esso was £146. On route I passed through Hadlow where Esso was £156

2021 was behind closed doors wasn’t it? Therefore presumably no band?

If you don’t ask you don’t get! I was offered them with my membership renewal on Friday!
To avoid doubt I had to pay for them.

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!

Hopefully not in the part that floods in case.
Um which bit is that? I’d best pack a spade for ditch digging activities!

I must of been lucky - although as members of my group had not replied to my email my requirements were limited!
Got 2 tickets in Parnorma and 1 camping pitch on Houx Annexe - never camped there before but wasn’t prepared to pay twice as much for Epinettes. Hadn’t realised there was a lake next to it, so might be a bit close to that!
Next trick is to sort out ferries. Now do I allow for stirring in the campsite not being allowed out, or will it be 2 hours this year or no hours! 😂

It’s almost as if they are deliberately pricing people out of Epinettes and Houx. The only real difference appears to be the screen and food stall/ bar - maybe they didn’t make the income expected.
Had a pleasant spot in Epinettes this year, however will look at Houx Annex or Beausejour for next year. Houx Annexe just looks a bit open to me.

It was all very busy. We were camping in Epinettes, prefer Expo. Not sure if Epinettes is better than Beausejour. Found ourselves opposite @lawnmowerman and @canadaphil. Always found the toilet and showers adequate, rarely did I queue for them.
Security on entrance to the circuit at Garage Vert were always friendly. Never tried to take glass or beer in but the questions was always any alcohol. Not sure if beer in cans counts as alcohol as never tried it.
It was busy at the circuit but set up on the inside of the circuit looking up the forests S's for the start, were there early as it was so busy. Stayed there for a coupe of hours after the start, then campsite for BBQ, back to concrete steps on Dunlop chicane for the evening, and where there on Sunday morning but too hot so watched end on the screen in the campsite.
Left Epinettes at 5 on Sunday, by 6 was at Tetre Rouge. Went cross country up to Le Rouen via Dreux, then motorway to the tunnel. Got to the tunnel at 10.45 missing the 10.50 crossing.
No real issues, just busy as expected.

6 of us this year - in theory. One applied for his passport renewal this time last year and didn’t get it in time. Unbelievably they still haven’t got it! So have just cancelled that application and reapplied. If they can’t come their son won’t either so we’ll be 4.
4 (or 2) going out Newhaven Dieppe Tuesday night back on Eurotunnel Sunday evening. 2 in camper going Dover Calais out Wednesday am back Monday. Staying on Epinettes, no grandstand this year. Invested the saving in one of these https://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/p/robens-observer-chair-D3112121.html
