Classic 2008- who, what, where and when

The Courbe place is shown as "Espace Restauration Pole Nord" on this map (can't figure out the pin bit ::)), on the Allee Courbe Dunlop:

Still no sign of tickets and I've emailed the ACO again...

BUT they have just responded to my email of 20th June about when the campsite will be open.  They have of course responded already telling me it's open on Thursday afternoon...they now tell me it's open on Wednesday 14:00!!    I'm planning to ignore this one.....

I've also heard from other sources that the campsites will be open from Wednesday afternoon.

Really you've got to love the ACO  ;D  Steve where did you hear it?

We think we're going to be at the Municipal Campsite at Spay anyway so we'll be around to see what happens. 

We're hoping to get to the Tour de France time trial on Tuesday if we get our ar$es in gear on Monday (this depends on how much Silverstone mud has to be scraped off the trailer and whether we have to be towed off the marshals' campsite on Sunday night  ::)

What is the best way of finding out for sure when the gates will be open, it seems that the people on the end of the phone are unsure. I certainly do not want to be rucking up at midnight to find the friggin gates locked. But, I also do not want to stay in a comfy hotel have a good dinner and get pissed... or do I?

No, I think I would rather be pitching my tent at midnight, accompanied by Dr Smirnoff and a bag of crisps, mind you if it looks like rain...

Weather forecast anyone?

>Martini...

[termietermite]

Forecast looks good thus far for Wednesday and Thursday but 10 day forecasts are hardly worth publishing are they?

I'll ring the office in the morning and see if I can get any sense out of them re opening times/days.  It would suit me to pitch the tent on Wednesday evening, but only if I felt sure there would be somebody around to make sure it isn't nicked!

[Piglet]

Well....I have an email that says gates open Wednesday, trouble is I also have one that says Thursday  ;D

....and given that I don't have any tickets, I'm not going to be getting on MB until the Rotunda opens on Thursday I'd imagine.

[Piglet]

(...still no tickets  ::) )

[Lazy B'stard]

Bon voyage, see you on Friday afternoon.

It isn't looking good sadly and has probably put the kibosh on me riding down on the bike as I'm travelling down with my partner. I can't really expect her to put up with getting soaked ( or can I  >:D )
