I’m assuming it won’t be vastly different to the route used for the past few years. But a walk in the afternoon between the first and second loops might be a good idea

I’ve got Midland Moto Stages and Circuit of Kerry teed up in my watch later ready for a rainy day

Thanks for this info. It cheered me up slightly on this most difficult of rally days...

On the Rallynuts last year they had a security guard on the forest access road to the Hafren stage start. He was sending people to the car park by the public toilets where there was also a security guard, but more room to park without annoying the locals. I guess the length of walk depends to some extent on the stage route?

So is that to say ‘parking here, no thank you. Walk here from Sweet Lamb, by all means, knock yourself out’?

I was starting to think it would be easier to just stay in Sweet Lamb and spend the day finding the best viewing point, rather than worry about being ‘caught’ in the forest

Though of course I’m not one of those idiots who wants to do whatever he wants with no regard for if it will cause problems for the rally organisers.

I was hoping to have a wander up to that first hairpin when the cars have come out of Sweet Lamb - SL behind you, hairpin left into Hafren forest proper and Maesnant/Hafren south about a couple km further down the road. I’m gonna check some onboards from last year to see whether it was generally just the marshals and camera crew ‘allowed’ in the forest.

Something tells me all this anxiety over the matter will be overthought in the extreme

I'm not sure it's any help, but I remember a late 90s Vauxhall Rally of Wales; and in the programme's spectator information it stated 'no spectators at Hafren - due to birds nesting'; groups of speccies disturbs them, but rally cars flying through full chat don't.
My only issue is there are plenty of walkers paths nearby, including a picnic site not far from the famous Hafren hairpin.....And they don't seem to be restricted during this time of year.
