Wales Rally GB 2009: 22-25 October

Used to go to this every year but not been for a few years now. Anyone fancy going this year as a group? Not really a 'driving' weekend as the hours are fairly unsociable and spectator traffic between stages can be stationary at times... Also not good to take the P&J if you'll be worried about leaving it parked on some forest track for several hours - not a crime issue, more a ground clearance and potential mud issue!
No ticket prices have been announced yet, but it's usually £100'ish for a full weekend pass including the special stages and garage areas.
Dates: 22-25 Oct (Thurs-Sun).
Travelodge or similar in Cardiff centre will be about £60 per night per room. We could get a bunk house in the Beacons for £30'ish each, but there'snot a lot NOTHING to do in the evenings!
Please post up if you’re a definite or a possibility so I can get a rough idea of numbers.
Warning: you WILL get very wet, very dirty, extremely tired, very lost and probably extremely drunk - and that's just the nights out in Cardiff!

Haven't been since it was 5 days and blasted round Lake District and Northumberland in a 3 litre Capri JJCW said:

Maybe twiglove could bring his pick up 
I have a mental image of 10 or so PHers all in the back of the pick-up giving people some abuse.
Well except for bmw2002, he has the dodgy accent.
Drunken trouble makers is clearly a collective term as I'm neither of them!
Before I forget JJCW, did you manage to make it to Ockham for the convoy?

Count me in - if only for the night out in Cardiff. Fun city at night.
Likely to be 2 nights in Cardiff - depending on the night stages may even be 3... 
Although to see the best stages and leading cars generally involves a fairly early start.
As a further thought, Hertz currently hire Fiesta's for £15.60 a day; and if you add on a full insurance waiver and unlimited mileage that comes to £71 for four days hire (Thurs 9am to Mon 9am) per car...

I think 4WD might come in handy though John 
Yes, but it's well know that insurance waivered Hertz Fiestas make the best rally cars... bmw2002 said:
