Le Mans 2013

And where's the fun in that??!

We had the fun last year when we found my tent was swimming after the first night :rasp:

 

[Vish]

MIKE! FLOL.

Seperate tents are Homo spec. What wrong with abit of accidental bumming?

We've got s**t on lockdown tbh, Vish brings the double air bed, I bring the double douvet. Tight.

And we've not woken Saner once!

Giant tent is a the way forward, think we may need an extension this year...

especially if we're squeezing 12 into it.. 10 is cozy enough sharing with Mike and Nick..

No f**king ways are we fitting 12 in that tent. We'll just get a seperate tent for a couple of people- i don't care if that's me tbh.

 

[JamesBryan]

[Gavin.]

Was looking at one like that myself^

 

[JamesBryan]

f**king size of that thing!

Haha! 20 man tent, it would take the whole weekend to set it up lol

 

[Panda.]

more like temporary barracks than a tent..

 

[Budgie]

We got ours off eBay though. Pretty much the same thing at just over half the price. Have had two now- one got left at LM in 2011 because we couldn't be fucked to take it down. Second one's still going strong!

 

[JamesBryan]

That's what I dislike about big tents.

They're a right pain when you can't be fucked to put them up or take down.

If you're following the same pattern this year Mike, 2011 got left, 2012 survived, 2013 gets left/burnt.

 

[Panda.]

Have had two now- one got left at LM in 2011 because we decided it'd be more fun to try and pull it apart with a volvo and throw a fridge and trolley at it. Second one's still just about going strong!

EFA.

 

[couzens]

EFA.

Still going strong in my loft! We need to air the fucker out or it'll stink worse than Toms ankle

 

[Panda.]

failsquats?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Still going strong in my loft! We need to air the f**ker out or it'll stink worse than Toms ankle

Good point!!! We should just put it up for a few days really, will also allow us to check we have all the pegs etc.

Poo ankle ftl.

 

[JamesBryan]

What the f**k is poo ankle? lol

Or do I not want to know?

 

[couzens]

On Houx, the toilets are holes in the ground.

Tom took a s**t on his own ankle and I think Mike filled his jeans up with piss too.

 

[Gavin.]

Flol, sound like toilets at Leeds Fest

 

[Budgie]

True story.

Walking back to the tent with no jeans on FTL.

Well, most are holes in thr ground. The select few secret ones FTW.

 

[JamesBryan]

Haha!

Pay all that money for a decent site and the bogs are s**t!

At least we have proper toilets on Bleu Nord, even Beausejour had them

there are some proper posh-porta-crappers or, if your in a cunning disguise, the disabled throne in the ladies...

 

[Hainesy.]

I'm hoping my tent is still in a usable condition. Don't fancy buying another !

 

[Gavin.]

Be reet.

You know you want one of them pop up ones haha

 

[Sir_Dave]

Nah, they have proper ones as well, just the holes in the floor are closest to our tents.

Personally, i prefer to walk to the disabled/ladies ones and have a sh1t in comfort.

Nothing better than taking the kids to the pool in comfort.

Although it's a few months away yet, just a reminder to those planning to travel via Rouen that there will be serious diversions in place. One of the main bridges is out of action as they are having to completely remove and rebuild one of the spans - taking an estimated 55 weeks.

See this for the reasons why:

We go through Rouen usually, right?

Not sure.. we (Saner) follows Dave and TBH mike and I pay very little attention to whats going on outside (too busy concentrating on not over-filling empty juice bottles etc..)

 

[Sir_Dave]

Yup, usually lose a couple of people on the way out when i pull off a 'oh sh1t we should have taken that exit style maneuver'

 

[JamesBryan]

We might be looking for a new route then. Can't see them having it rebuilt in time for June.

We'll find a route, I'm sure satnav will point us in the right direction.

True dat.

 

[couzens]

Rouens where we left Mike at a roundabout and Saner headed back for Paris. We won't let a burnt bridge ruin our f**k ups.

 

[JamesBryan]

Our first year going to Le Mans we encountered the crazy French driving whilst going through Rouen. Some nutter nearly side swiped us coming off a roundabout.

 

[Gavin.]

Just looked into that bridge fire, its an easy detour. We just need to stay on the A29 a bit longer and go down the A151 instead of the A28. 'C' is the closed bridge for reference.

 

[JamesBryan]

Right o captain!

 

[couzens]

Ahh I think we miss the tunnel then

 

[LiquidRich]

Thanks for the heads up on the bridge closure

 

[Gavin.]

Right o captain!

 

[Gavin.]

Then again we could just go the planned route as there is a bridge further down the river
