We've missed you too.
I have been meaning to write this up for the guide but have never got round to it. I did manage the race in a chair last year but I'll admit that most of the time I had two helpers so I was lucky. But then what's CA for but to help each other out in a crisis?
If you have a blue badge you are undoubtedly better off as you can park inside the circuit alongside the wall behind the main grandstands. With a disabled badge you can also get cheap tickets for yourself and one other person, but you need to talk to the ACO about this. (I'll try to find out a bit more). Otherwise it's a question of making your way across some pretty bumpy ground to get from Bleu (or wherever) to the main stands.
There is a stonking viewing area on the South end of the MB grandstand (thanks Christopher for pointing this out to me last year) and you can take a helper (in fact they let both of mine go up there with me early Sunday morning.) The village, as you know, is a bit steep in places but with help you can get around and into most of the little shops. If you have a modern lightweight wheelchair and have mastered the "kerb mounting" technique, or an electric one, you'll do better than with a hefty thing like mine, comfy as it is.
No doubt you do a bit better if you can manage a few steps (as I can on crutches) and have help but even without you'd manage and have a good time. I was really delighted at how well I got on myself.
There's a lot more to this but I've got an appointment with the surgeon in an hour and the ambulance is due so I'll get back to you.
Bon courage - like wot they say around here.
