Pretzel,
You're right about the CRS hanging out on that junction. I also remember that there is a house opposite the Stella bar that has played host to Aston Martin OC in the past. I reckon there will be some nice hardware there this year!
Although the CRS are pretty hard nosed with motorists around there, they ignored me last year when I had to have a little power nap in the woods after completely over cooking it on the Friday night. Much to my annoyance, they also seemed to turn a blind eye to people going in the woods for a piss. Not the best place to kip when you're hammered.

I wouldn't recommend driving there ................
I appreciate what you say, but it's a long hike back to MB from there on (hopefully) wobbly pins! DB |

If, like us, you're camped in Houx Annexe, then its simplicity itself. A 5 minute wander towards Tetre Rouge, under the bridge and the bar's on the left. Robert is your mother's brother. The upstairs part of the bar is shut during the race but there's a large covered / open air area out back and down below with long tressle tables, a bar and poulet frites for sale. Arrhhh, I can taste the draft Leffe now  Yer tiz, from the corner at the start of the Mulsanne Straight. (I've had to upload, resize and host this photo as Mr Cutler has f**ked the upload folder!)  |

Not too surprising given the general French attitude to relieving oneself in public.... DelBoy - I REALLY wouldn't recommend driving there unless of course you have a designated driver, in which case I pity the poor sucker. The CRS may not bother much about p*ssing in the woods, but driving under the influence could be a bit of a different matter. |

Not worth thinking about.
We got cabs back to our camp site last year on the Saturday, and to a man, everyone(bar cabs and buses) were stopped and tested.
Don't risk it.

We walk round the top of the circuit, past Dunlop, go through the tunnel under the circuit just before Tetre Rouge corner. This brings you out on the inside of the corner, in the small triangular field between the allotments and Tetre Rouge. Is the tunnel and the viewing area on the inside of Tetre Rouge still going to be there. Or has it been removed due to the work done on TR during the winter? |

Paddy, did you wander around this area? If not, is there any chance Gilles can call by and check the situation?  |

Bastards have hi-jacked the Moose Gathering  Still was bound to happen eventually. The Stella is reassuringly expensive so will try the Leffe which is probably more. Both very unFrench beers. Canada Phil |
