Just seen the rally weather forecast on crash.net. Looks like it won't be too bad for Saturday.
Remember to bring a portable radio to tune into Rally radio on 87.7FM. You can get it on car radio as we go into Wales to keep up with what's going on.

Llywell is the nearest place to the entrance to Halfway stage a few miles up the A40 from Sennybridge. There will be a queue so shouldn't miss it. Halfway village is a few miles further on.

For those who might not Know the Seven bridge toll is £4.90. Have some cash ready.
