Hold on i'm getting confused. we'll take the Gite if its not already provisionally booked. The Gite has 2 double bedrooms so there is room for another couple. I don't think Jim & Jen will be coming but stand to be corrected on that.
Could the 'Hokey-Cokey' actually be what it's all about?

Chris,
Just to clarify - my understanding was that YOU had the provisional booking on the Gite, (and I was just taking the p1$$).
I'm still up for camping!
(I'll try and keep my stupid sence of humour under control

)
Dave
Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Dave, Iains earlier post made it sound as if the gite and B&B were provisionally booked by parties other than LECer's so i resigned myself to camping. i'm so glad that I won't be crawling into the bedroom on my hands and knees like you will be doing

Well on this basis I will not be camping at LM but will staying in a B&B. Cheers all.

That all depends on how much wine, beer, cider and Calvados falls down my neck!

one is a weeks break in brittany the other for the classic le mans race weekend.....
the plan being that the brittany break is the week before (or week after) the Le Mans Classic so part of the plan was to incorporate the event into the 'break'

I would just like to get some photos from the pit wall, if i could pinch one of your passes for a couple of hours that would be great. Sorry I thought you got a pitlane pass last year because you were pit crew

I have found a picture of the space available for camping (lawnmower included for scale). I reckon we can probably fit 10 tents? Possibly more?
