I will be down there from the Thursday
Great Orme and hopefully Llandudno service Thursday; probably Dyfnant Friday; Builth service and second run through Sweet Lamb Saturday for me - can't do Sunday but should have plenty of full memory cards by then anyway....
Barry - is £20 for a double usage stage really silly money? Compared to the price of your fuel I'd have thought it was a bargain.
i will be there from Wednesday. hope that we will watch nice show from the top guys as always in wales
which is worth watching? great orme or the Clocaenog? i believe there is not enough time to move from one to another.
i would like to know too. i am thinking to base my watching spots on those google earth maps. never tried it before... i usually just go to the predefined car park spacesQuote:

I would go to the forests if it was me, as the viewing will be better, especially if the weather is bad!
Agreed, im really looking forward to seeing the National B. Such a shame that is seems extremely unlikely that we will see Andy Burton in the Peugeot Cosworth now, with the spare crank seemingly no good :(Quote:

I expect to pay more for top level rallying but you can take a car full to the Wyedean and watch a national event through 4 stages for half the price of a GB ticket.
And yes the fuel to get there will be expensive, but that's all the more reason to stay at home and moan about them trying to charge 20 quid. That way I'm not only saving £20 but also £70 or so on fuel :p :

I dont know how you can compare BTRDA event and club rally on Epynt to Messers Loeb, Ogier, Latvala, Hirvonen etc.
