Hi - there won't be an awful lot going on at the moment, and what there is will likely be quite high-level and repetitive. Reds 1,2,3 & 5 have apparently been up today though, and there is a good likelihood that this will be repeated tomorrow, although I'd say that is very much subject to weather as with the high winds that are expected across the country, this may put things in doubt. Times are likely to be "as and when" at the moment - there are no times being published currently.

As for "where" there are various spots - check out the viewing guide on Thunder and Lightnings but do bear in mind that there is one BIG change to that which is that you can no longer park by the lights at the 04 end - instead you need to park further along the road and walk up until you reach the junction of the fence - from there you can step into the field along the line of the low fence. Please don't climb over the gate or walk on the farmers crops as this is likely to give everyone problems down the line! To be honest, at the moment, the official viewing enclosure off the A15 may well give as good a views as you'll get anywhere anyway - you can also walk a little further up the lane from there to get a better view over the slightly lower fence a little further along.

If you do go, enjoy!
