[Allyc85]

Cheers, all being well I should be able to make the first run through resloven and maybe Rhondda. Are the stages sign posted, or do you have to find your own way there?

Well Walters is supposed to be the only spectator area so im guessing Resolven and Rhondda wont be signposted. Thats why i wondered whether anybody knew a good place to park for these stages.??

Might be able to park somewhere at Cwmgwrach for Resolven.

[BGilbert]

A few pictures from a very wet resolven.

Great pictures both of you. I didnt make it in the end as I wasnt %100 sure where to go for Resolven and I could only see one pass of Walters, which didnt seem worth it.

Still roll on next sunday on Epynt :D

[Rallyst3ve]

Good pics :up:
I watched in Walters Arena then managed to get to Resolven jst in time for the top cars. Should have my video up soon ;)

Hopefully the sun will be out for next Sunday's Mewla :cool:

[306 Cosworth]
