On Saturday, I was at the western end, and there was a solid mass of spectators everywhere. On Sunday, the eastern end was less crowded and with a bit of luck on my side, I made it to the front of the crowdline. If you want to be certain of a front line place, suggest you get there very early, as 8:00am the crowd was quite substantial. There are some raised mounds at the back of the crowd line, but you will still need to be there early. Also, in spite of advice on the website not to bother to take food and drink, you may wish to take your own picnic, as the choice of food as far as I could see was ham sandwiches, with an option for veggies to have the ham removed!
Have a good weekend, it is really worth the trip.
