Meres Regularity which gave the navigators a chance to
sharpen their skills for the long, but not too taxing, Passage
Control Section from Egerton.
With the day drawing to a close, there was one, last timed
section to get through before we reached the sanctuary
of the night halt. Steve and Sally Morgan had generously
allowed us to use the grounds of the neighbouring Carden
Hall for a closed road section. Jim Smith with David Harris
took control of the starting gun and shot the crews up the
driveway, round the ornamental fountain and through a
cluster of agricultural buildings to the finish line and a
short parkland drive straight to the hotel car park.
It had been a baptism of fire for some, a challenge for others,
but everyone agreed it had been a lot of fun. Over dinner Fred
Gallagher promised them more of the same tomorrow as the
rally heads to Wales and the Cambrian Mountains.
