Good feedback here. Thanks much. Resources like this will make the visit so much better due to the advance planning. Should be a very good month of June next year.

Alternative Le Mans package....... stand in the train station and wait for my dad to pick you up as a stray.... food, accommodation, invitation into his tent...... what more could you want?

I can vouch for the truth of that, the guy from Australia would be sure to endorse this post.

We did that with a chap in '07 I think. Bumped in to him randomly on the way down on the Wednesday and said hello, as you do whilst having an ice cream at one of the services. Then bumped in to him in Arnage whilst having a beer. Turned out due to the rain/mud, he couldn't get in to his camping in Yellow, so being friendly my mate and I offered space in our tent which he gladly took.

Turns out (there was a little clue in his car as to his background as a farmer which sparked the conversation) that he was a friend of both of my parents from when they were all much younger in Young Farmers - small world etc!

I'd like to point out that the guy didn't have a tent and dad had also offered to drive him to buy a tent the next day, and he slept in the awning, dad just stumbled over him intoxicated in the small hours

We my son and I ended up with a couple of unexpected guests in our tent at the Silverstone Classic last year when one of our friends who had brought his wife camping for the first time duly unpacked his tent to find he had left the poles at home.

What? In Poland?

I did that last year at Le Mans. Arrived at our campsite, baby screaming for the last hour and a half of the drive, peeing with rain. Got out, unrolled the tent and found I'd got no poles

You can never find a Pole when you want one. Actually.........

Well with camping you will always forget something you just hope it is something unimportant or cheap to replace, this year we forgot the can opener so no real problem

At least it wasnt the bottle opener or the corkscrew, Simon

Several years of honing has resulted in the perfect 'what-to-take-to-Le-Mans' list. I print it out, and check each item when it's packed.

This year I wished I had made such a list for clothing too, as I managed to forget to take any coat

Sweater and flimsy raincoat acting as a windbreaker were sufficient luckily enough.

**Aysedasi** · 20 Jul 2013, 19:52 (Ref:3279790)

I also have a list - honed over 28 years..... It's divided as to which bag things go into, i.e.

MAIN BAG (Primarily clothes)

WASH BAG (Obvious....)

TRAVEL BAG (Medicaments etc.)

GADGET BAG (all the gizmos, batteries, chargers, kettle, tablet etc. etc.)

CAMERA RUCKSACK (Cameras and stuff to be carted around at circuit)

BOB WOLLEK (Dosh and cards)

BODYWARMER (Bits and pieces to carry around)

Muppetdave901 · 21 Jul 2013, 07:51 (Ref:3279922)

Lists aren't always infallible... See my tent pole post

**Aysedasi** · 21 Jul 2013, 09:37 (Ref:3279942)

Pretty close though when you've been using and modifying for as long as I have. And I at least quadruple check.....

Muppetdave901 · 21 Jul 2013, 19:13 (Ref:3280185)

*usually* yes they're fine. I double checked - just not in the actual bag itself

whitemr2 · 21 Jul 2013, 19:32 (Ref:3280197)

Every year I tell myself to make a list for next year when I come home. And every year I find it to much trouble. So far there is not much I forget, last year it was my toothbrush, this year my frying pan, all nothing to worry about and easily for sale in France.
