ENJOY!!

woah.

I don't know about you, but I've never been to Colin's Crest and don't feel any urge to go there. 1000's of spectators, which I don't like :p

And for Ullen, I was on that part of the stage last year (called Backa then). The spot by the bridge looked very nice, but we decided to go on (towards the start) just to have a look. We walked quite far and found a really nice wide downhill hairpin, with the cars just passing below your feet. Here is a picture: http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...lly2007015.jpg
And captured on film if you like:

I liked that spot, but so did a few others :p

Indeed, Colin's Crest is wild and packed. If you don't get there early, or don't get into a fist fight over your patch of snow, you could be in for a rather forgettable experience. There is a bit of a mystique to it, with that many fans in one area though.

I would recommend, seeing if you can get your paws on a "bootleg" map that shows roads that aren't on the published rally guide. These roads are often the access roads to and from the start and finishes, marked obscurely with a wooden stick with a small orange arrow. If you hookup with some friendly marshalls, they may let you spectate the start/finish areas.

Thanks RickT.
