I've climbed through thorn hedges more times than I care to admit... haha but I get the point! So the general consensus is as long as we arrive early we can pretty much wander anywhere that's physically possible as long as it's safe, and won't have to be penned into spectator zones? If so that's good news because after some Google Street View recces of the stages there are some beautiful sections that require a lot of wandering!

Be careful. The hedges are waiting...

Hopefully better than the Peugeot! :)

I've never had to stand in such uncomfortable/precarious positions to get photos as I did on last year's Circuit. Basically yeah you'll need to probably be on or in a hedge at some point. After you've climbed over a barbed wire fence. It's all good though. Part of the challenge. Great rally!
