Club members please log in for more information.

It's all over now. The teams have worked and the judges have done their thing too.

We always try to ensure that we finish in a timely fashion so that those teams who have to travel some distance are not too late returning to base. This year because the final challenge was pretty straightforward and we ran three testing points we raced through it which meant that we finished earlier than we forecast. This was to the advantage of some and not to others with inflexible transport arrangements. From a personal point of view, as I had been up at silly o'clock to prepare, I was relieved but understand how it may have inconvenienced others.
