Harvester, Blake Holme and Gummer's How
Couldn't make the FVO flyers team so into FVO Plan B it was, meaning that instead of my usual short day or short night I found myself on Leg 2, long night.......
Enjoyed the race and the technical challenge, but neither the early part or the final part was really my finest performance!
Bad start with 10mins binned at #1 (although not quite a split to compare with the 75mins Dave H scored at the same #1 during daylight later on!).
Then mostly pretty solid salvage work (faff thanks to unmapped bushes at #9 aside) right round to the second radio at #16, before a disastrous end part.....think I ran out of energy as much as anything else, seemed to lose the ability to think straight and huge amounts of time just seeped away.
The mighty FVO Flyers took back the Harvester Trophy ahead of EUOC, putting right last year's disqualification and (we think) sharing the UK Relay League with them (both with 2 wins and 2 second places).
Not clear that the competition really exists any more but let's hope so as (shared victory or not) FVO has never won it before!
