Absolutely outstanding runs by all. We were just over an hour adrift of the overall winners and only 27 seconds off 2nd place which, over 198 miles is nothing, and for such a small club is excellent. We ran our fastest ever time this year so next year who knows what we can achieve. The weather conditions on the Saturday early stages were, as usual, pretty hard. The sun was a problem but the wind was a bigger one. It seemed like a head wind most of the way. The Saturday evening and Sunday morning stages were much kinder and the rain held off which is a bonus.
We were 1st small club, 3rd in the Club Class and 4th overall. This was our fastest outing at the RNR. We are already looking forward to next year and, hopefully, an even faster team !!
