    I have posted a similiar question in a motorsport thread - but hoping someone with local knowledge might be able to help.

    I going to miss the first two days of the rally, but I'll be back late on Saturday. I understand there has been a change to the Sunday stage routes, from previous years. I haven't a clue where these stage are, and I'm really hoping someone could advise where to go to get some decent photos?

    I have a decent camera, and I'm looking for either a tight corner, or a jump in the road.

    I also don't mind if this means an early morning hike!

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I have no idea of the route, but i've seen a few photos taken up on the embankment at the last turn up knockalla, with the cars in the foreground and the spectacular scenery in the background. Makes for some lovely shots.

    Something like this:D

    obviously with just a bog standard digital camera, and my focus was always on the car, but when i think on it, there would be great angles around that corner to add some nice backgrounds, like dunree/the mouth of lough swilly/desertegney church, maybe next year as im out of the country for this years

    Suday stages have very little difference to what they were supossed to run at last year, as for good spots there are a few decent jumps, and a few good photo opertuinites on atlantic drive stage, but you'd need a programe for me to direct you better to them! P.S. programes are available now if you need a list of places who sell them i'll post it here for you's.
