I've finally got enough pics sorted, labelled and processed to make a start with this thread. So let's get on with it eh?
The trip started on the Wednesday with a couple of us driving down to Poole via Bristol to pick another member of the group up along the way. Overnight in Poole at LMC-HQ to get everyone together (five of us in total) and to load up our transport:

Plenty of room in there for everyone and all the food/beer/luggage
Early start Thursday morning, although Poole ferry terminal is only ten minutes away from base. The grey drizzle was offset by the plethora of goodness waiting in the queue with us...

One uneventful ferry crossing and drive down later saw us at camp. We went with Travel Destinations as we used them in 2014 for the 24hours and were pleased with how things were organised. For various reasons this suited us again this time (although of course I'd recommend the RR Holiday Chateau in preference!) and they didn't disappoint.
In 2014 we were on the Porsche curves, this time we were inside the circuit, at the bit marked "S" du Tertre Rouge here:
