Mulsanne
« on: April 27, 2010, 07:07:17 am »
I seem to recall that last year there was a bit of an event in the village of Mulsanne - large barbecue / hog roast etc - on Mad Friday. Regretably I didn't make it but thought I'd make a real effort to get there this year if it's on again.
Did anyone go last year and, if so, what was it like?
I tested negative for patience.

Canada Phil and I popped down quite late in the afternoon (after St Saturnan, which took ages as the roads and detours held us up ) when the festivities were pretty much over. However we had a nice chilled out time sitting in one of the bars. Saw MG Mark there leaving as we arrived and also who I assume to be Lowdrag pulling away in the Jag.
Possibly worth a visit again but perhaps ealier this time to make more use of the facilities.
If I was you, I wouldn't start from here

A bonus was that we got to drive the Frogeye down the Mulsanne on the way back to camp

Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

Popped in during the morning and quite a few cars there but not much else happening, we didn't stay very long so it may have picked up later on.
Always go into a corner too fast, in case it turns out to be a quick one!

This sounds like something I would like to do.
If something comes of it,count me in.
This time I want to find somewhere in whatever village and sit at a cafe roadside and watch all the people and cars go by while enjoying some good beer and some local fare.
Sounds like something to do. huh? ;D

I would suggest Arnage as a good local village to do that, it's walkable from Blue, but better to thumb it, we got a lift from a recovery flat bed (only room for 2 in the cab, the ride on the flat bed was more exciting) and back with a french mini cab - more pissed than us, we survived!

You'll also want to do Arnage on Friday ay some point. The local fare will be chicken and frites though.
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.
