We will probably stay at Sweet Lamb for the morning and afternoon stages. In the past it's become increasingly difficult to move easily between stages, as it's too busy and to many access roads are closed.

We will pitch the Land Rover tent up and have bacon baps and burgers on the grill!

Come by and say hi if you spot us!

Think will probably be doing the same, stay there most of the day & I head back past chester anyway so will try see if can gain access to the village or if everybody has gone to sleep

BITD I used to try to access a second stage in a day but it just became really difficult, unless you

leave the first one after the top seeds have passed.

Way too much stress for little return.

I'll be staying all day at Sweet Lamb or until I freeze.

Looking forward to this now, I'm planning on leaving late tomorrow night rather than leaving very early Friday. All being well you should see a rusty green Fiesta at Sweet Lamb smile .

Email received from PH this afternoon. Just so no one is left wondering who the hell was that guy. My name is Alan from Chester attending with my brother in law. I'm 33 from Chester, I have 2 Renault 5 gt turbos, And I've just taken out a EE broadband contract which I'm having problems with.
See you at the stand biggrin

That looks ace Nigel, Discovery envy! Weather still looking OK, so fingers crossed. Many many layers shall be packed just in case.

We're heading over this afternoon and staying at a B&B in Aberystwyth. Catch you all tomorrow!

Thanks Ben!

If you spot the Disco and Day Tent pop over, we will have a bacon roll with your name on it to say thanks for the tickets!

We're heading down to our place in Llanwrtwd Wells tonight for a bite to eat and perhaps a few too many beers at the ale festival they have at the pub we are staying at!

Let's hope it doesn't get too messy!

Thanks Nigel! As a note to everybody, I have two spare tickets after someone pulling out. They're first come first served, so the first to comment on here saying they want them will get them!

Looks like I'm going to be a bit of a late arrival tomorrow morning (should be there around 09:30)
I'm guessing that there is very little chance of parking at Sweet Lamb at this time as the stage will have already started?
Anyone know of any alternative parking nearby?

You should be still ok for parking. It's a long road up to the stage where they park. You'll just have a bit further to walk.

Great day, thanks again for the tickets guys!

Good to meet Ben and James and make use of the pistonheads tent for shelter too!

Of course we parked the disco as close as we could to the action by the ph shelter!

Thanks again from me for the ticket and hospitality and good to chat with a few who braved the drizzle.


Just 1 of many rather poor pics.

Many thanks for the ticket and Haribo's! Not forgetting the tent too, provided some respite from the drizzle.

Thought I recognised the Maloo (V8 VXR) http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/vauxhal...

Thanks again James and PH Crew.

The disco was a tad dirty, so Tom just helped me give it a quick jet wash!

I've just got back from the chomondeley, good turnout of Group B cars, although it would of been good to have more action on track, the stage was empty for an hour plus before the WRC, then the top 15 or so went through, then it stopped again for autographs?
