Health & Safety

Having had to deal with the HSE remotely today, I hope our kind, considerate, and generous organisers (have I missed anything out there?) have carried out a full Health and Safety risk assesement along with a full fire hazard assesement on each Team before we arrive at the start point, be that where ever those moving goal posts have arranged for us to meet at.

Good point...
Keith will be along soon to remind you all not toforget your 2 firebuckets ( 1water 1 sand) to be kept in the vehicle within easy reach of the driver

Mark - We've decided to have one full bucket and one empty bucket. The full one will have sand, The empty one we'll fill with water when we get to the Sahara. Logic always prevails

Errr, have you seen what is happening in most of the countries with a bit of the Sahra in it
Can we change team chatterboxes vehicle to a snatch landrover?
Or

Whimps

Keith,

Dont forget to include the "supprises" at some of the SC's
and also what happens in the event of a loss of navigator/co driver!

Personal Experience of the above and it can be quite distracting/distressing

HaHa

Haha! Some of the surprises at the SCs were scary tho!

And I gained a new nav at the Mosel

Can someone enlighten an old lady please - what are SCs

Oh dear, who's not been reading the Final Instructions

SCs are........ to be found at page 5, Article 15.1

I must sit down as I'm feeling a little light headed after offering such kind help

I'm only the co-driver so not in charge or responsible for anything!
Well that's my excuse anyway
Just to prevent getting any more penalty points, I will read said article now.
Thanks Keith for your overwhelming kindness - I think you should have your cocoa now and go to bed

Oh dear....

The driver does the driving which includes preparing the vehicle & normally laying out the cash.

EVERYTHING ELSE on the event is down to the co driver..
Navigating, feeding, watering, looking for clues, & finding the SCs....

Sorry

But always take credit when all goes well its simples

SC stands for sound control. Unfortunately there is no volume control between Driver and co driver in the advent of the SC going off, but it is advisable to close the windows so as not to disturb the locals

The co-driver is technically the vehicle commander and responsible for EVERYTHING!

Oh, please don't tell her that
