| Richie,
That SC just after the start of the second lane needs to be in a slightly better place, none of the L... La... Lan... Land... Landr... green oval things will never be able to get to it.
Got the Memory Map overlays ta.
Just need a bit more info about the route leading away from Ypres and the sabbotage plan can be finalised.
Speak soon, Cheers, Nick. | |

Nick. Lynn and I had to map that, Mike was busy the other weekend and Lynns glasses are so thick, when she looks at a map, she can see people waving at her. | |

| Nick, as there are no bars on the plain,none of us will find it. We all know from past experience that check points are only set up adjacent to a bar. | |

| Found a bar ............... It's at BNG ST 96503 48567, which isn't far from one of the current SC grid refs, so would be dead easy to move - Spoiler:

| We've decided that all signs will be in Welsh this year - it will allow us to be fair to all, in particular the 2 vehicles from the Ystragynlais Overland Club Not that the organisers have yet identified a winner!! Signed Taff Bowen | |

| In addition to the Welsh to English (or any other language) translation service that can be provided, the disclosure of the actual route can also be made available due to the equipment (hidden webcams, tracking devices (2m accuracy), sound recorders etc...) that were fitted at ................ [secret location]. These are working well now on all the possible vehicles that are likely to be used for reccy trips.
The services of ........ [a major sponsor] have also been enrolled to provide high definition (in fact, virtually 3D HD) satelite imagery, showing not only the route, but due to the efficiency of the sound recording, it's now possible to have the answers to the hidden clues on the routes already reccy'd - the system is just waiting for the next reccy trip(s) to be able to complete the picture.
Keith, just incase you're thinking of looking for, and disabling or removing any of the tracking and video devices, forget it, not only are they so well disguised, you'll look straight past them, they also initiate a tamper alarm, so replacements can be fitted (due to the high price that is being paid for such surveilence) within around 10 -15 mins.
Anyone wishing to get all the routes, quiz answers, locations of secret checks, pre-emptive knowledge of day to day exercises etc... etc... please feel free to contact ............... For the cost of [undisclosed sum] all this can be provided, guaranteed 100% accurate, right before the start. For an even bigger [undisclosed sum] the answers to the more challenging challenges can also be provided.
The ultimate package [if you need to ask how much - you don't want to win, undisclosed sum], also includes a method of fixing the scoring system each day, so the outcome of the daily tally up can be completely controlled.
The undiscolsed sums will be added to a random variety of entrants donation pages, so that complete anonimity is guaranteed.
ps - don't follow me ---------------- I'll be lost. | |

| Nick, did you put the trackers behind the green oval badges on these rust heaps, cos, surely, no one would ever think of touching one of them ? | |
