BHCLRC Christmass RTV
I'v had my Land Rover for a few months now, and join a Land Rover club (http://www.bhclrc.org.uk/) they hold monthly events/ Greenlane trips / etc
id been to the last 2 RTVs and just watched - this time i was going to take part!
A RTV is a all day competition over several sections. Each section has several gates, starting at 12, and counting down. The idea is to get threw all the gates with out touching them or with out stopping. if you stop or touch 1 of the gates, you score that amount. so if you get round the whole section - you get 0 points. At the end of the day the people with the lowest points win.
this was the Christmas RTV, so had a few twists. 1st off there was a prize for the best decorated Land Rover, then there was a section that had to be done entirely in reverse, also a stage where you were a passenger & had to direct the driver - who was blind folded.
I managed to clear the 1st stage with 0 points, the rest of the sages i scored between 4 & 12.
As this was my 1st time, i entered as a novice. This meant i could go at then end each time & also have someone sit in with me and give me pointers.
Overall the day was amazing fun, apart from been freezing.
I'm defiantly going to enter the next one!
