Carnac

John,

Pretty much as Cats rule says. You may get away with parking on the road but there are a number of campsites nearby. Will try to look up te one we tend to use.

We usually do Portsmouth St Malo on the way out. Overnight ferry then a couple of hour drive the otherside. Arrive the day before sailing starts if not earlier. Depending on Holiday commitments etc, we either keep an eye on the clock, finish a bit early, quick derig and try to make the Caan ferry in the evening on the last day. Alternative is the following days crossing from St malo.  

Is anyone planning to go to Carnac this year despite pound being on its knees against the Euro.

I have never been to Carnac before so I am after some advice.

Went is the best time to go? I understand that the racing starts on the Friday and finishes on the Sunday so do most people aim to get there for the Thursday and when do most people aim to leave?

Where do people camp. I am taking the big ugly van so do I need to book this into a camp site if so which is the best and nearest to the venue?

Do people to the Dover Calais route and take the long drive or opt for the Cherbourg route?

I have been copies in on an email form Nick from the Hobie association which gives me some ideas but any other advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
