Steve & Malcolm, I do remember doing the Cotswold Water Park one, but David and I were gradually improving getting 2 thirds and a second in the 1997, 98,99 Meashams; one of these, I can't remember which, we arrived at the first control to discover that en route we had parted company from the control sheet. A hasty about Face and we eventually reclaimed it, laying in the road with 2 sets of vintage tyre marks crisply imprinted across it, that I shall never forget. I will also never forget the North Yorks one where we broke a half-shaft on the Heavy 12 at about 0230 hrs and had to wait 3 hours in sub zero temps for the RAC to rescue us; David was somewhat less than enthusiastic to my suggestion that we removed ourselves and our personal effects and set fire to the 12 just to keep warm.
