The Tempest is the only gravel rally I've competed on (in a 205 Rallye) - certainly a very different experience to tarmac in the Escort! We used to have the Rally Of Kent just up the road but that's gone as well due to the loss of available forest mileage. Events in the south east are certainly thin on the ground so any new ones like this are welcome (even if it's a "one time only" event). The other problem we have is the 'local' events are quite close together - Brands is January, Goodwood and Snetterton are both February - doesn't give us any time to save up the pennies between the events and if we have a problem on one then we're not likely to get it fixed for the next.
If you're wanting to see the action at Deepcut you could marshal - I'm sure you'd be made welcome.
