Good idea ..... I did get in touch with my embassy , but they didnt really offer any help .But if you say thet you have done it before , I will certainly give it a bash on Monday morning .

Thank you very much for all the advice , all of you .

Just to make sure,the time for the meat is still 11:30?
We'll be viewing the Group C's from the Porsche curves vantagepoint,so this'd give me about half an hour to get to the meet. Should be just enough...

nobster · 2 Jun 2008, 05:47 (Ref:2217466)

Went to find the tree yesterday but could not find it, is there a posting in this thread were we can find it on a map?

It'll be a brisk walk from there, but don't worry, the meeting will last long enough.......

The map showing tree and pin is already IN this thread..... Post #139

GT6 · 2 Jun 2008, 07:43 (Ref:2217532)

Ayse

I told you there record for cutting down trees is good lets just hope Nobster overlooked it otherwise there will be nowhere to put the PIN

**Aysedasi** · 2 Jun 2008, 07:56 (Ref:2217548)

Hmmm, did anyone else who was there yesterday wander through the concrete Village? Did they see the tree? Bernard perhaps?

GT6 · 2 Jun 2008, 08:12 (Ref:2217558)

well keep quite about it or the ACO they will do to it what they have with most of the other trees, each year I go they have removed more trees and at the current rate the circuit will be tree less in a few short years.

Apologies for a tardy response here but I'd indeed be interested in the Embassy garage visit - providing timings etc work. Would of course understand that by this stage I'm pretty far down the queue though!

It's impossible to miss THE TREE, it's just after the exit of the new village square, to the north.
It's still here, I'll send a photo on next friday night.

that's quite true
this year some trees dissapeared again

for example the ones outside the esses, near the marshals square ...

bernard b · 2 Jun 2008, 18:45 (Ref:2218035)

but "our" tree is still there!

it's impossible to miss it:
noth of the concrete village, between the cash booth and the "La Poste" office

More? Really?

So what did these have to make way for?

i saw that in some of the pictures on the aco site...there appears to be no trees between dunlop bridge and terte rouge now...as general melchet once said "my god its barren wilderness out there".

Excellent news, and not too late at all. Hoping Bernard, Pascal and others will also be able to make it.

May be the ACO is saving money, it cuts the trees down and then turns them into fences. Why do they insist on cutting mature trees down and replacing them with pathetic little trees that rarely survive and offer no shelter. Does France have tree preservation orders like the UK?

As all Francophones will know, they cut them down and give them to the Larbre Team
