Jonny-Jimbo Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hi Bruce,I'll be honest I don't think a 10 year old would understand the clues well, I did a lot of navigation at that age in scouts etc, and I don't think that many children would get them. A lot of the navigation is done in pictoral form, or codes etc (without giving too much away).Unfortunately though, either way your son can't take part, due to the following MSA (Motor Sport Association) rules;Minimum Ages5.3.1. Navigators (non-Drivers) on Rallies withoutSpecial Stages must be at least 12 years old, and 16years old on rallies with Special Stages.My event doesn't have any special stages, but the rules do state that navigators must be at least 12 years old. They are very strict on this, so we can't get round it.I'll send you a PM too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemate Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Quoted from Jonny-Jimbo I'll be honest I don't think a 10 year old would understand the clues well Oh nuts,that's me and Radders up the swanney then ???????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Don't worry Dave, I think between you and Radders you can work it out okay. Maybe 😉I've had the clues checked and they're at a suitable level, and importantly, they all make sense too!Also, if I get a moment, I'd like to have a feel of the clutch pedal in 'Nigel', see how it compares to mine, if that's okay? I'll try and get mine down too, but the clutch is very heavy and like a switch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemate Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Fine,no problem.When "Iggy" helped me bleed the clutch he thought I wasn't getting anywhere,when I checked it was ok, he's pedal is quite heavy compared to mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny-Jimbo Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Considering how many cars and owners there are around here I'm somewhat surprised that we don't get more local entries... I can understand people not wanting to us their near show car type Triumphs, but there are lots of 'daily' types... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny-Jimbo Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 I hope everyone who has entered the rally reads this, but I will be sending out further details soon;It has come to my attention that it is the Coventry Half Marathon on the Sunday morning. Technically none of the route for the rally should be closed when the teams get there towards the end of the rally BUT teams arrival routes COULD be effected as some roads are closed from 6am. This is a link to the route; http://www.coventryhalf.com/userfiles/files/Cov%20Route%20Map%202016.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
