Another event saw me in the silly seat, on a CSMA 12 car rally, navving for Suze in the Micra fresh from its stage rally début a few weeks ago.
With lots of enduro crews making up the entrants and organisers it was a good start to the event.
The navigation was quite tough, as you weren't given the end control locations. So it was quite hard work, made even harder on one section by the fact that we had the latest edition map with different road colours to the navigation - that section was VERY tricky ! The rest of the nav worked, but you had to work hard to make it work, especially a herringbone which used a dual -carriageway....
Some good roads and good driving by Suze to make back the time lost by stopping to plot / work out where to go, made it a tough and challenging event.
At the finish i was sure that my lack of navving skills would have seen us near the back of the results. But we ended up a pleasing 3rd overall and 2nd in class (class TBC)
