Every year the RBR have a Cock Up Award - presented to someone who has managed to mess up big time during the rally. My entry last year was the result of managing to reformat my memory card while half way through a tour of Wales, and deleting photogrpahs of 9 landmars we than had to go back to the next day. It was not demmed a bad enough mistake, so I doubt this will win it either! But not heard mention of this for this year so thought I would get in with my contribution which, although paltry, is at least in first place by dint of being the only one here to date! This is what happens when you so too many rallies!
Went out on a long ride round East Anglia checking some controls for the BBL, visiting the National Park, taking in IBA meet and picking up a few RBR landmarks. It is only when I was stood at LM 31, taking the picture of the landmark, with the bike in the foreground, that it struck me that is what you are supposed to do - include the bike. And it also struck me that earlier that day, when I had visited LMs 32 and 6, that I had not done that. Further I remembered, and still had the photos on my camera to prove it, that the previous weekend, on the way back from the Bally Rally in Ireland I had visited LMs 76 and 81, and not photographed the bike at either of them - result, 39 points thrown away!
