I am thinking of doing Myherin 1st on Friday then doing newtown regroup then Hafren do you think this is possible with traffic?

That sounds like a great plan, but accoring to mintexmemories, sadly may not be possible. Back to the drawing board!

No! Stay in Myherin; even going across the road to Sweetlamb is asking for trouble.

I think there will be a few horror stories this year with people trying to move about and car parks being full. I'm in agreement with everyone else really - pick a stage and stay there.

It does genuinely seem like the organisers are expecting bigger crowds this year, which would be in line with the rest of the championship. Wales just isn't really set up to deal with monster turnouts.

Sad to be missing the Thursday this year due to work - but will be on Hafren x2, Dyfi x2, Dyfnant and Alwen x2. All being well.

I actually think the organisers should try to encouragepeople to stay in the one place; chasing the event in a small geographical areais asking for trouble. Remember the road blocks in 1999 in Mid-Wales? It was abit of a PR disaster. It's a bit different from moving from Kielder toYorkshire.

It does seem as though there is going to be a big turnout. Isthis a surprise? Going on this forum probably not; however, I’ve not noticed amassive increase on other general motorsport forums, were rallying still lagsbehind a lot of other series.

What kind of village event is this if you can't even to 3 stages a day. Mby you Brits should take tips from professional stage hoppers in eastern/northern European rally fans. Even with very bad traffic and stuck roads in Poland , 13 different stages was ok to do.

Nice way to stop drivers from cutting the corners Bit dangerous for taking the dump though.

Just had a quick glance at one stage they posted on FB a while ago and it looked like it had one spectator entry..?

Excuses? Why would you need an excuse when the car keeps breaking all the time, watch the Salou stage in Spain and I think you will understand how fed up with it he is.
