RE: Free TT and MGP Vantage Point
I watched there in the late 90's.  Really good spot for seeing the commitment of the riders throwing it in to the blind bend and running wide towards the trees trying to get maximum drive up the hill (Mark Flynn sticks in the mind).  Quite a few 'moments' on the white line on the exit.  I have a feeling we were able to get access from the rear to move between the races.  These were the days before the current exclusion areas of course

A very generous and kind offer from the OP.

RE: Free TT and MGP Vantage Point
Looking at my trusty OS map looks like an unassigned road and path access to Sarahs' from the outside of the Course? Anyone went from that route?
