Just had a text from my brother (Skid Solo on here) who is down at Portsmouth waiting to get on the ferry to Le Havre with Christopher and a couple of others.
Git!
(Only 11 days to go for me though... 
)
We were all sitting in the sun outside the bar next door to the entrance yesterday - hope they all made it back again (with soggy tents?) It's tipping it down now.
A very wet Monday morning.......10mm puddle in the driver's seat and no sign of the rain stopping before we had to head off for the port. The rain got so bad on the way back that I had to take shelter in a petrol station for 15 mins so that I could try and mop up the water on the dash and dry the inside of the screen. Oh how we laughed.
But an hour up the road and it was glorious sunshine again. Water proof in the boot and sunglasses and t-shirts rest of the way.
Good to meet lynxd67 on Saturday afternoon and termietermite on Suday for a cool beer.
As for the track action......great to get an early sniff and see the changes without the huge crowds.
At first the changes at TR appear to disappoint as you walk towards it down the slight hill, but once there it is great. The viewing on both the inside and outside of the corner is much better. Yes, its a pity the older trees have gone, but LM is always changing and these latest ones work in my opinion. How good the viewing will be on race weekend might be a different matter.
