LL,

Normally yes but could not get into a hotel there this year, so we're at the Ibis in Falaise (anyone staying there..there has been in previous years?).

Falaise is not too far from Alencon so if there's something arranged post it here and we may well come along.

LL,

No, not the Campanile (I think that's how it's spelt) but the Ibis on the northern outskirts of Falaise. This year I'm paying 60E a night for each of two single rooms, staying there Friday and Sunday nights (sleeping in the car at the circuit Saturday night).

Steve,

It must be you! I well remember meeting up at the Ibis with a group of Le Mans fans travelling by coach (minibus?) last year and having a some beers together. I recall that on the Sunday night there was a football match involving France and watching it on TV in a bar with several locals. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing you and others again this year. I'll be in my Jaguar S-Type as before and my son will be with me too..he's been coming with me every other year since '96 and to all Le Classics too.
