About 3hours 50 minutes after they start

It's fairly busy, but you can definitely see them as long as you have an idea of when they're setting off last year we easily found places on the embankment where we were only 1 deep at the barrier, just walk along until you find somewhere

Take my number mate and give us a bell if you want to meet up
