Notes

From TNR 19-11-2009 Ericquest 3

Another masterclass in event organisation from Eric!

The trailquest format is a cunning combination of speed, routeplanning and estimating time/distance.

21 in the pub – a new record?

Andycapping yet again provides a close finish

Points mean prizes – this year a new trophy is unveiled

Excellent to see lots of Lads & Dad’s teams – well done all!

All controls were visited by at least one team

Every team visit oven lane “Gallaghers Leap”

To be a contender you need to bag the big controls

Amazingly Billy didn’t crash!

Phil & Pete managed to lose both their maps in the wind and then bicker!

Trevor J’s sugar rush sweets & Stunts navigation prove a winning combination.

El Pud & Alastair run them close and take the family class title.

As ever much route comparison post event to work out which strategies were best!

Adnams refreshes the weary competitors

Next year starting ramps & countdown timer outside the Smithy?

The Triangle Of Evil (you know who you are) graces the Kings Head with patronage until the wee hours
