Difficult rule to follow, but, drivers, you're the driver and the navigator is the navigator, never challenge their instructions, unless it's clearly a dangerous mistake (in which case, 9 times out of 10, you've misheard the instruction). We apply this rule on both the H4H and the Mac and never got lost.
The only time it's gone wrong on either event is when the driver ignored the navigator.
On last year's H4H, that's when our "5th day row" broke out!!!!
And on this years Mac, the driver wasn't listening!!!!!

Was this written by the navigator?

Ha ha, probably by some sort of telepathy!!!

Also important to ensure the lifesaver safety hammer is out of reach of the nagivator... lest it become a teaching stick.... as in "You won't kin do that again... will you!"

A good post Frank.

It sort of explains why no team has yet proffered the name 'Team Tranquility'.

Team Ngiri will probably be qualifying for the most penalty points and using the ration book daily. Even 'navigating' to the shops has it's 'discussions'!!!, let alone across Europe.

Of course, that is if the Landy doesn't break down! Although like a Rolls Royce it never breaks down it just fails to proceed. Now where did I put that spare propshaft?

Kieth,

The trouble is with Team Tranquility, they'll have a hell of a commute to the start... Have you ANY idea how far tranquility base is from Littlecote? Also... the term "The Eagle Has Landed" may take on new conotations based on the communication between nagivator & motorvator...!

Ngiri's post has given me an idea as well.... take everyone's odometer reading at the start line... and again at the last campsite... booby prize for the most travelled team!! *G*

Ever helpfully...

Like that, could also do one for the shortest distance .....

That'll stop people firing up up their motors and driving to the toilet block to answer a call of nature at 0430hrs!

That will be the AA teams then, having to do all them green oval recoveries

Richie, these PMs are great.

Those co-ordianates for the secret checks in Bavaria are a bit sneaky, but thanks for letting me have them. I'll make sure you're OK for duty free stuff on the way home as agreed.

That idea for the camp site near Arnhem is a good one, I'm sure Keith and Tim will understand.

Oh, and thanks for the heads up about the river crossing in Belgium and the challenge being prepared for the hike in Holland.

Cheers,
Nick.

ps, do you prefer Vodka or Bacardi? and which pipe tobacco is it you smoke?



Nick, with my Admin rights, I have moved this where it should be and not in public, think best we keep these as emails in future, Keith is OK about the agreement, but Tim isn't, may be he doesn't have an agreement with another team as Keith and I do !!!

Bacardi please, and any Cherry pipe tobacco.

See you soon,

Nick - I think one of your PMs has gone 'public'.

Anyway, a spelling error;

the challenge being prepared for the hike in Holland

should read 'the challenge being prepared for the bike in Holland'.

I told you months ago you can't trust Richies feeds to you. But mine are always truthful

Ah, OK Keith, I'll let the other know.

Oh heck, is this all in public

NO Nick, the anti virus and anti spam is working fine, alll is well, bnut we still have a problem with Jersy, I woner do we really need to go there given the samll amount of German problems there ?

Oh, OK Richie, just looks as if these are getting posted on the forum, not just in our message boxes.

Jersey isn't worth the extra effort - mind you, we could have fun causing a traffic jam or two.

Maybe St Malo harbour is worth a visit - need to check what Keith is doing about La Rochelle though.

La Rochelle is sorted, the ferry will back up on the beach, and the vehicles will drive off onto the beach, do the memorial thing, and drive back on,

Mind, chopper_gray wasn't so keen on taking his motor into the water, can't think why

I don't know what you meen. I'm well up for that.
