before a well deserved afternoon tea in the Simonstone
Hall Hotel, at the foot of Buttertubs Pass.
The day was fast coming to a close, but there was one
more section for the crews to deal with before the stumps
could be drawn and we headed to the pavilion. Today’s
sting in the tail was a map based Regularity to the south
of Killington Reservoir which required the crews to plot a
route - the shortest possible - between three timing points
whilst arriving and departing in a pre-determined direction.
All great fun; so much so that it was reported that some
of the crews had actually been around the circuit twice, in
both directions!
Sadly tomorrow is the last day of this Generations Rally
and, given that we finish at lunchtime, the fact that this is
actually the last night of the event was not lost on the rally
and the Low Wood hospitality manager might be looking to
restock early next week.
