I only realised it was this weekend on Thursday (must get new batteries for the radar).
It was a 250 mile, 5 hour round trip for me, but worth it to see these amazing rigs in action. Spectator friendly, friendly marshals, great weather (not so sure about Sunday's forecast though).
The spectator path, at about 2 miles long, takes you through the competitive route - there are marshals at crossing points, allowing you to see a variety of terrain, although mostly rock crawls.
