: The pencil markings (made on the move) look pretty competent to me.

To be honest at this level we were in the "intermediate" class and I'd had an
hour to plot the route. I did enjoy plot and bash when competing at club level
as an "expert". Hard work but very rewarding to get right.

: I would have driven for you, but maybe you had a better car than
: my old '63 beaten-up 997 Mini Cooper. It's the navigator who
: wins a 'plot and bash', now called a regularity event like this.
: The driver merely goes how and where he is told. The car does
: not make much difference, as long as it's reliable.

In this case we were in a 1300 Escort, heavily over-carburetted and on
completely the wrong tyres (SP44s!). It was a lot slower than the 997 Cooper
I had at the time. A 997 on the paperwork anyway....

: But I would have preferred a standard Monte Carlo, even a plastic
: one, to a Carrera on this occasion.

Anything on the dash is the driver's responsibility. As a navigator working
with a number of drivers I made sure I was completely self-sufficient. With
the exception of the 12volt connection for the potty [*], which was standard
in our club.

[*] Not a sanitary facility, it's a light and magnifier for the map, built into a tube
so the light doesn't distract the driver.
