Have now taken delivery of the Essex map for this - getting quite excited to actually participate in a rally rather than just organise one!

A couple of clarifications that have been prompted by a question or two...

The Beginner class is not a fully competitive class. You will get a fully marked map of the route, showing the route you must drive and that the Novice and Expert crews have had to plot themselves.  This means you do not need to do any plotting yourself; you just follow the route as marked on the map you have been given. You will also be given the Novice navigation clue sheets, but this is just so you can see for yourselves how the navigation clues relate to the plotting of the route; you do not need to use them.

You will also be given a sheet of questions that you answer as you drive round by looking out for things on the road.  You will not need to stop and get out of the car to do this.  You can also note down the code boards on the side of the road if you wish; these are placed there for the Novice and Expert crews to note down so that it can be proved that they have driven the correct route. All this is for your own enjoyment and interest only, although there will probably be a prize for the Beginner crew with the best score.

You will get start and finish points allocated for use in the Club championships/challenge but no other points.  The Beginner class is designed for those just wanting a run out in company with other Triumphs, and those newcomers who have not done a navigation rally before and want to see what it's all about. It is a non-competitive class.

In light of this, if you wish to change up to a more competitive class, let me know and I'll move you into the Novice class.

Seeding - some of you have asked what this is and is it an "Essex" thing?  Some remote parts of Essex are quite rural and people there live a simple life.  Seeding is quite painless; only takes a minute or two, and you do get a sugar-beet top to chew on whilst it happens.

Also, cars will be sent off from the start in a set order which slightly helps the less experienced crews.

Cheers,
Mike

Hmm, thanks for that Mike. I'll see if AJ wants to risk having a go at proper navigation or just having a drive in the beginner class. She's usually up for a challenge though.

Sign up as a Novice, have a go, and if it all goes Pete Tong, open the panic envelope.

Have a really good read of the navigational guides beforehand, and you really can't go wrong. Well actually you can, but you know what I mean.

If you want to see some examples of previous events, we can email you clues and marked maps.

Cheers

Rob - It may be worth putting an entry in because, as said above, there is a likelihood of one or two crews dropping out before the start.  PM sent.

A note for all entrants; would it be possible to add your car's colour here (or email it to me) please?  I have your registration numbers (which I won't publish here) but having your car colour as well, to put on the marshal's check sheets, will help them identify you at various control points where you don't actually stop.

This is in your own interests really, as you don't want anyone else's penalties allocated to your car   .  Thanks
