Help please!
Going to this http://www.severnvalleynational.co.uk/
From the Dudley area in the west midlands DY5
Wish to watch somewhere from the Crychan Forest. No idea how to get there!

Any help would be great.

I've no idea how to get there either however after checking the link you provided I found a section called spectator information. That told me that to access the Crychan forest I need to do it from the A483 at Cynghordy. I've no idea where that is so I went to Google maps and asked for a route from Dudley to Cynghordy and lo and behold... http://goo.gl/maps/HMgS This all took about 2 minutes.

Probably worth taking a map and Satnav.

...DO NOT go through Tirabad or attempt to access the stage via the Epynt Military Ranges which will have live firing in operation...

Its sign posted off the main road north of LLandovery, once you are there you will see it easily smile

If my car does ok on its MOT tomorrow I may go to this but to the Halfway stage as there is a couple fast places I really want to watch from biggrin

In answer to OP if you buy OS map 160 and plot the speccy map reference given on the website, you can then work out how to get there using a normal road atlas.
Should be a good event.
I shall be there somewhere, then up on the ranges the following day for the Mini Epynt Stages Rally which is all tarmac.
Going to be a busy motorsport weekend smokin

What ever you do be safe and enjoy clap

I just called and a not that helpful woman said go to the Royal Welsh Showground and then they direct you from there...
None the wiser.

I've been there. You pronounce it 'kin-ordy'. Might help if you have to ask directions and then you can actually say it instead of staring at it in confusion and having to ask the person you've stopped next to what that strange word is, while showing them the map and pointing at it. .
