Hahaha, alternative routes? I was lost for the entire time I was driving, just had to trust my navigator knew more than I did.

Hmmm, yeah I guess that is entirely true. All they teach you in uni is that "if there are people, there is ALWAYS A BELL CURVE" though see? I think the upshot is the same though, and that's that you really can't hope to win purely be going quickly.

Don't stress man, I appreciated the humour, and it gave us time to work out a route. Also, didn't you guys seem to go in the opposite direction as we did for a while?

Hey guys, only just hit the computer since the race =]

Big thanks for everybody who organised everything. Even though we had to pull out that first stage was at least good fun!

On the topic of running another, I think I'd be able to round up a few more people next time since I had interest from a few friends. The thing about the mystery time was that (this logic seems to work in my head) there's very little point in trying to do anything quickly, it'd me much more effective to do everything completely averagely, since then you'd be closer to the middle of the bell curve, and thus much more likely to be close to the time somebody else set. Also, my co-pilot didn't think he should be penalised for what he called "superior navigational ability & downright cunning" since we didn't speed but managed to find a route with no traffic lights or intersections.

Anyway, tbh I'm not so interested in winning that any of that actually matters =D

Cheers guys,

Martin that was a nice move parking in front of us while you worked out the clue man.

Oh, and those boots had the significant downfall of being impossible to drive in.

Sorry for the extreme brinkmanship
