Last Sunday in Switzerland.
The Swiss Offroad association held a rally, alongside getting to drive various routes through a quarry my Son and I took part in the orienteering, Gwydion navigates as he was only 18 recently and not yet through the 200hrs of theory before his test.
We have been competing now for two years and this is start of the 19/20 season with three categories - Fun, Challenge and Champions
This time we had a 91 km road book, a free navigation section of and a herringbone course to navigate.
We even managed to keep up with the motorway traffic around Zürich thanks to the SU carb conversion from ACR

Does anyone else out there do this?

Yes .. we were indeed the OAP & where many of the new defenders had a struggle to get up the various slippery slopes we had no problems.

The lower weight of a series can help on slippery slopes I have found. Well done the two of you.
