Re: [doc] Le Mans




Hi all,
       Ticket prices for 2005 will be avalable in a few days.
By recomendation I am using "Just Tickets & Motoring Ltd".
They are easier to deal with than the ACO.
Unfortunately due to high demand they have sold out of their
allocation of Lay-by campsites. They are hoping to get another
allocation in the first week of December.

I have found a useful website of Le Mans Camping infomation,
Check out www.Beermountain.com. Le Mans Camping Survival guide.
(Mental note to self:Bring Supersoaker 9000 and who can get a
folding swimming pool in a D??)

If we cannot get in a circuit lay-by, there are a number of
municipal campsites near by. I will try my best to get us on
the circuit. But if you read the reviews at the above address,
I need to be careful which lay-by site we go to!
     

Regards
Nick H
