Out of the Spa 24 thread has come a suggestion (from me initially and seconded and thirded!) that we might think about guides to other events and circuits.  Spa is quite tricky to find your way around if you're a newbie and the follow up suggestion was that a guide to all LMS circuits might be helpful.

FS, Werner what do you think? 

Hi,
It's a nice idea. And I think it will be very useful. And I will help you with writing. I'll be there more than once a year...and I must find out few things by my own.

Maybe, we can write it together during the 'off-season'.

Cheers Yvonne - I'm trying to avoid the actual writing off it but I do think it would be a good idea!  Grin

Paddy - I remember Yvonne, she was one of the very few of your group hardcore enough to manage the Spa 24 this year!   Although rumours that we may have all been in the bar for a large amount of the race are unfounded!  Grin

PS - y'know in English - ginger is not a complimentary term!!  Grin

I think some of this may have been covered so sorry for any repeats.
Just come back from a week in Western France via SpeedFerries and Boulogne. Used the A16 / A26 route down to Rouen and then Picked up the lovely new A28. The good news is that the Service station at the Rouen end is Shell (Optimax) and there are now 2 new Arie's (sp) between Rouen and Alencon with Fuel. The Toll was a little pricy at  €16.50 to Le Mans (Just had to take the wife and daughter on a tour of the circuit and sites, most impressed they were too.....) It's a shame they can't sort out a better route through or around Rouen - it took an hour and a half to get through(via Cows Rounderbout).
For any one wanting to head further south west, the A28 goes down to Tours now and then picks up the A10 to Bordeaux(Peage Toll from Poitiers to Rouen was €26).
Was not able to use my visa card at Carrefour, Super U or Archen fuel stations though.

Ian, just to clarify, was it the Carrefour at Calais you tried?  Old notices about them not taking UK credit cards were covered up last week and was assured that all cards were usable there.  Have to admid though that I didn't try it out as I used my French one.  Will try putting an English one in when I'm back there at the end of next week but meantime would be interested to know if you'd tried it.

An hour and a half across Rouen was a lot!  Admittedly it is a well-trodden path for me but it takes me 30 minutes tops normally.  "Le rush-hour?"  No plans so far for a by-pass, sadly.

Hi Termi, no, I tried the card pumps in Auchen and Carrefour Boulogne (after 10pm, ended up getting off the Speedferry at 1am with "6 miles to empty" showing on the readout!) and Super U further South. Not suprised that City Europe does take them though, they would loose to much Booze cruise trade.
Rouen was at about 5.30 on Friday so " Le Rush-Hour" applies, just such a shame there is such a great bottle neck in the middle of a what is now a very efficient  road network which is worth paying the tolls for if you on long haul.

Just to clear this up, I tried a UK debit card in the 24 hour fuel pump at the Carrefour in Calais yesterday and it definately works. Smiley

Hopefully by June next year, all the Service stations will accept them.

One thing that would be useful for me (and maybe not anyone else!) would be reverse directions to get home and save us getting lost in the town centre again.

Read them backwards you may say. I tried to entice my navigator to do so at 6.30am on Monday morning but his reply was "I can't read them backwards because I feel sick" thanks mainly to JPC's impromptu Tropicoma substitute on sunday night.
By the way, Werner and FS, I made notes while travelling to and from Blighty the other day of all the directions/road signs etc for a quick crossing of Rouen (not easy to write in a notebook and drive at the same time) so will forward them to you.

I'm helping to do a piece about buying tickets for LM.  I would be very grateful if anybody who has used ticket agencies like Just Tickets, if they could let me know their experiences when using these people and those like them.
Thanks

I have used Just Tickets and Page and Moy and have found both of them very good. Just Tickets were cheaper than Page and Moy and both companies always came up with the tickets I asked for. Then never seem to take bookings for tickets they are unable to come up with. My only point against them is that they are not only expensive tickets but they insist you buy several GA's from them at again inflated prices.

Can anybody remember what the cost was for additional nights' camping this year - ie for those arriving early?.  I seem to remember it was 8 euros, but possibly it was 12?  Did this vary from site to site?
