Been on TR every time I've gone sinec 1999 apart from two years where I left it too late to get tickets and eneded up in Bleu Nord.
I wouldn't camp elsewhere, It's quieter than most of the other sites and feels more 'Protected' while the race is on.
If you get tere early enough or are creative with your wiring it's also possible to get an electric supply as well.

Are you on Tertre Rouge again BG?
TTTD are back there afer a couple of years in exile, unfortunately, with a very dissapointing limited number of members this year.
But drop by anyway..

I was on Bleu Nord for the first time this year, normally camp on TR.
The thing that surprised me was that there was still security on the gate at 11pm and I had to show my pass after I got back from eating in Arnage.
And I was even more surprised that he was still there at 8am on Monday morning when I left.
Two years ago when I left it late to book and had to stay on BSJ, they cleared off as soon as the race ended.

Must admit Termie, even though I can only understand about 5% of what Bruno is saying, his level of enthusiasm does 'Shine through'...

The signal seemed quite weak this year....
It was constantly dropping out and was  swamped at times by what appeared to be a radio rebroadcast of what the announcer was saying over the tannoy system.
This was on Bleu Nord, down by the Start/Finish line I was getting no signal for most of the day.

Just as shame that they are dotted around three garages in SE London, got some driving to do tonight to round it all up...

Still, that's better than a mate, who is due to arrive at the passport office at 11am to pay silly money to get get his passport emergency renewed, ready for Wednesday...

Mine's gone a nice shade of black...
I made the mistake of doing what I do every year and putting it in the window as soon as it arrived...
That'll teach me not to follow tradition in future
