Pretty sure the French national Championship is pretty strong, so there might be something closer to home for you: though the Welsh stages are definitely unique enough to deserve a trip of their own.

Exactly as Steve said...

It used to be much easier to just jump between several stages in a day. Not quite so easy these days getting in and out of stage car parks with traffic etc, so better just to pick a stage with 2 runs and watch from different locations within it.

...I have adopted the latter approach now. Pick a stage, get there a couple of hours before the first car runs through the stage, then stick with that stage for the day.
The timing worked out pretty well this year as the first car didn't run through Myherin until 10, so we got there at 8 and had a couple of hours to walk into the stage, find a good spot and eat a few pastries before the first car appeared.
