The only advice I can give ya is BEST OF LUCK!!

Its manic Regatta week, especially the last 3 days, and as the Red Arrows are the final Saturday this year :rolleyes2 that day will be soooooooooooooooooo busy. Dont think we will bother this year tbh

Update: We parked in a park and ride by Little cotton Camp site. This park and ride cost £5 including return fare to Dartmouth. This park and ride site was full by 11 am. There was another one further away but not sure where that was as we didn't use it. The Regatta is very busy but we had a good day there. Getting the bus back to the park and ride involved a very very long wait though which was a bit of a shame they couldn't get their act together to organise that a bit better.

when the red arrows used to be on we used to drive to a farmers field on the kingwear side and park up, the pilots used to come right overhead and wave:o

We went on the Thursday evening and parked in Coronation park car park, cost us £1.
Didnt bother with the Saturday, but normall we would go to the farmers field on the Dartmouth side, for excellent views.
