sparky_spit Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 This year’s Essex 12 Car Navigation Rally is running on Sunday 18th October 2015. It will follow the new navigation rally format and rules introduced at the start of this year and will, therefore, be suitable for anyone to enter in a Triumph car and have a great run out through the Essex countryside.The route is 58 miles in length; starts and finishes close to Colchester and the A12, and uses some roads that most will have not driven before. The start time is 10am and there will be a pub lunch available at the finish. The entry fee is just £10 per crew of two.Anyone can enter as a Beginner, regardless of their experience level, and be able to just tour round the route if they wish using a marked up map, which will be supplied to you. You will also get the Novice class clue sheets so that you can have a go at working out the navigation, or you can just ignore it and drive round in company with other Triumphs admiring the scenery and working up an appetite for lunch. There’s also a quiz to complete if you want to, as you drive the route, to add a bit more interest.Novices will get clear, straightforward clues as per recognised navigation rally formats. Experts will receive clues that are appropriate to their experience level.Entries are limited to 12 cars and there will be a reserve list opened to fill any last minute dropouts.I will also need some marshals to help me on route, so if anyone is willing to marshal on the event, I would be most grateful.Contrary to popular belief, Essex is not all flat and boring; there are some great little lanes and some surprising scenery in places. Entries are now open and the Entry Form and Regulations can be downloaded here.Or contact me at: mike.banks@club.triumph.org.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I may well enter this one - hoping to get my Lemon legal in the next week or two after moving house, then if I can use it for work etc to try to prove out the reliability and fix any niggles. The start time sounds good so we could come down just for the event rather than having to stop overnight etc.I'll be in touch Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny-Jimbo Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Well, the Lemon broke down on me again - thankfully, outside a friends house. But I think it's now fixed. Junked off the electronic ignition (The adverts read Buy this sh1t, it'll make your car more reliable for ever and ever!), refitted points and condenser.Will find a navigator and get an entry in!

thescrapman Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Ah, the Triumph Yes.Never that popular as the radio would only play prog rock and it would always take an age before it felt like is was going any where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Sorry Mike, what with moving house at the moment I completely forgot to get a form in the post.Is it possible to send the form to you by email and do an online payment for the sum? I think it'd help the club a lot if it could reduce the number of cheques it handles... There must be some way to put an online payment thing on the website? Would benefit the club shop too I imagine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
