Report

An good entry with a variation of crews that had never plotted a route in their lives, to some Master and Expert class navigators. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the challenge - it was certainly that!
The organisers were very humbled to see another full entry (unfortunately a few reserves yet again - remember to arrive early to ensure your place!). Dion and Daniel provided a 30 mile route with very tricky plotting and navigation to give all competitors planning on entering the upcoming Barnes Auto Engineering Valentine Rally a 'worst case' plotting experience to put them at ease. As explained in the drivers' briefing - if you plotted and got around the 'It's a Date!' - the Valentine will be a doddle!
Well done to all finishers - here is a roundup of the top 10 finishers. There were 80 marks available from a mixture of 1 point symbols and 2 point 'Cymru' symbols on the tricky bits! The top was very close and an interesting first and second with Sion & Iwan beating their dads!!

66 pts - Sion Matthews & Iwan Evans (Audi A4)
65 pts - Lee Matthews & John Evans (Nissan Micra Turbo)
63 pts - Peredur Davies & Moi Williams (Skoda Octavia)
59 pts - Dion Rowlands & Cory Jones (Toyota Corolla)
56 pts - Jill Clarke & Paul Clarke (Furthest Clean) (Nissan Qashqai)
56 pts - Aron Evans & Tom Lindstrom (BMW E45 Touring)
54 pts - Tom Parkes & Aled Roberts
53 pts - Arwyn Williams & Llifon Williams (Porsche 911)
51 pts - Lee Threadgold & Sion Jones (Peugeot RCZ)
50 pts - Clare Hookham & Caron Thomas (Hyundai i20N)
Thanks to all crews all for attending and we look forward to seeing you on the next one! Many thanks to Dion Bee and Daniel Jones for organising the event.
