XH558's grand tour this Saturday

[mat777]

I noticed the Vulcan's last flight this year is making a flypast a several airfields along this route:

Does anyone know what the flypast entails? Is it merely flying over or will there be any circling or touch and go?
Secondly, as it is heading from Filton to Cardiff, will it be coming over the Clifton Downs? They would be a far better vantage point than the outskirts of Filton Airport but I dont want to risk missing the route of the plane altogether!

Thanks,

Matt
