Tip. Take Ear Plugs if you want to sleep at night !!!

I am going accross Weds as well. Its my 23rd or 24th trip and its different each time.
Its basic camping on a very large scale. Theres a good supermarket in town that has all
the food and drink you need so no need to that over.

I'll look out for you.

I'll be there too, leaving Thurs am via Calais. Sounds like you are camped behind the first corner after the start/finish straight, which is well positioned for most things.

Try to get to the bar on the Malsane Straight on 'mad' Friday, and ear plugs/iPod are a must if you want any sleep. The Concert on Sat night is usually good (Razorlight this year I believe) which is close to your site by Dunlop bridge, and the village of Arnarge is worth a visit for a beer and lunch (a fairly long walk - 5kms I'd guess). Also worth watching at some point from Porsche Curves (best in low light to experience glowing discs).

I'm sure it'll be the first of many!
