7th February - Gordon P and I drove route in the 106, did whole route door to door in under 90mins so 45 miles route looks fine. Found a road closed at Stow Maries will monitor this. Identified locations for all controls.
w/c 12th February - started doing clues thanks to Bob Blows and Paul Barrett for checking them, started to gather and confirm marshals. Final instructions sent out.
18th Febraury do last minute route checking and control locations on pretence of 'looking at houses for sale'
22nd February - have all controls covered, printed of all marshals control info, check sheets, signing on forms etc. Printed clues, timesheets - thanks to Tony Michael.
23rd February - all competitors prompt at signing on, Andy M and Chris P, withdraw entry at signing on. Checking that beginners have been able to plot the route results in us leaving the start after Car 3, catch up time on th run out and we start 10 seconds before car 1. All controls are in the right place and marshals in attendance, the ford is deep but negotiable. All crews finish as does closing car, no naviagtional errors, timing appears to be right for the clues, overall a good result.
26th February - prepare and send out results and article for the magazine sent to Gavin. Event over until 2008.
