Delighted to be able to hold up honour of British cheeses.
For those interested, the details of the cheese I brought is available from the marvellous Neal's Yard Dairy, where I picked it up the Tuesday before heading down. and in French for our gracious hosts For the best of British blue cheese I'd often go for a Stichilton, which is very similar to a Stilton, but made from unpasteurised milk. It's often more interesting flavour-wise, but when tasting which to go for, on the day the Colston Basset had more going for it. Look forward to seeing what we can come up with next year.

WOW more and more each year. That's a great photo!
Sure missed the cheese and wine. I hope to see everyone there next year! |

Only got there once most had left, got caught in traffic to the circuit, but good to meet the few of you that I did!

Hi all,
Nice to see that you had a great time. I want to apologize for not joining. We went in town for a little shopping in the morning and did not come back on time to attend. Cheers, JM |

I only managed a few minutes and said a couple of hellos then I had to dash off. Maybe next time, whenever next time may be. The spread looked very impressive!

Me and my brother didn't manage to make it to the meeting place in time - we over did it slightly at the party in town after the driver parade on Friday - this involved getting horrendously drunk, getting lost on our walk back to the circuit and eventually getting a lift back from a friendly gendarme.
Only just got up in time for the race start! |

Didn't make it either due to time constraints, maybe a Friday meeting could be added next year ?
I did see the party in the Oak pit with James in attendance, I was standing on a step catching some video as they came walking out to the front ! I then bumped into Tim at the end of the pit lane and had a quick chat about Asda Dick Dastardly T-shirts ! I'm sure that there was a Forum member sitting in front of us for the build up and start of the race, on the terrace opposite the #36 Alpine garage, he never made the meet either I'm sure ? We had a big flag rolled down over us at one point during the build up. Le Vieux shared the same delightful campsite as us (although the grass needed cutting this year ) and I think we were on the same crossing back yesterday evening, as I'm sure I passed him on the A2 coming out of Dover ? Oh nearly forgot....I followed Simon (GT6) for a few miles out of Yvetot on Weds until he put his foot down and left my over-laden BM for dust ! Last edited by Gilles lives!; 26 Jun 2013 at 17:21. |

I'm sure I recognised you in your wing mirror at one point , only from a previous 10-tenths meet and photos on here. I found that detour around Rouen pretty pleasant, although we went back through Rouen on the Dieppe A150 detour without any hitch, albeit on Tuesday afternoon when there was less traffic. |

This is uncanny! We went (albeit on Tuesday) via Yvetot and the Pont de Brotonne, but returned yesterday via the Official Rouen detour via the Dieppe road. We were probably well ahead of you yesterday, since we stopped for lunch south of Abbeville and spent some time stocking up on wine in Calais before boarding the ferry. |

I'm puzzled that there is no reference to cheese at all in these last few posts......

Alternatively, there's no reference because it's all been eaten (well, nearly all!) Alternatively, we're all cheesed off at the fact that it's still 353 days to LM2014 |
