This was to be Richard Hopper's last spell as organiser of this popular event, so he made it one to remember. The start and finish was The Green near Denbury, and as usual the route was divided into two legs with lunch in the middle.

The refreshments, which were really intended for afternoon tea, were all consumed by the greedy participants after the first leg, so when we returned from the second leg, hot and dying of thirst, we had to beg at local houses for water! Nevertheless we were all very grateful to Lorraine for her generous and welcome contribution to the day. Julie's team won the three-cornered competition by a whisker, the deciding point being won by asking at a house to look at an Atlas for the capital of some obscure country - but it's all part of the game!
