Hi Nick & Russ

I think it's because most of the vantage points are now forbidden areas to spectators, where as years ago you could watch any where you liked round the mountain course. There are many vantage points I have been watching from since I was a kid that are all now forbidden areas to spectators.
P.S. In the past I have sat on a hedge for hours in all weather to watch the two strokes over the mountain section, but I but I can't say I will go to those lengths for the classes lined up for 2005.(Once a two stroker always a two stroker: )
