I see on the FRA forum that some are complaining that the check point had moved but it looked to be in the right place on the map.David Shinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349275095909121230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12678986.post-73301521332693273312009-10-19T23:15:45.035+01:002009-10-19T23:15:45.035+01:00Indeed!

The first 3 teams were all disqualified for failing to find Checkpoint 1 on Leg 4.<br /><br />And the irony of this was that David and I found this checkpoint 3 times during our stage - only it wasn't one of our checkpoints, and therefore wasn't marked on our map, and so was of no use in figuring out where we were.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07603180830781000928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12678986.post-27515625342565079352009-10-19T11:34:12.756+01:002009-10-19T11:34:12.756+01:00Looks like you weren't alone in your difficult...Looks like you weren't alone in your difficulty.<br />http://www.mudsweatandtears.co.uk/2009/10/19/big-3-dqd-uka-fell-relays/Daviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861644884461804956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12678986.post-68146532832909692612009-10-18T22:09:38.454+01:002009-10-18T22:09:38.454+01:00Yes - quite alarming how far off route you can run...Yes - quite alarming how far off route you can run when you completely mis-read the scale of the map they handed out at the start!<br /><br />All good extra mileage though, and quite fun passing so many teams, and some of them twice!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07603180830781000928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12678986.post-67789500867855777712009-10-18T21:45:43.398+01:002009-10-18T21:45:43.398+01:00Forget asking you two for directions then Chris l ...Forget asking you two for directions then Chris l had you on a pedestal as wellwhen maps are concerned.
