Winter Series 1998-1999
Round 3 - 12th January 1999

Description: It was a crisp sunny morning. John Jocys was up to his usual trick of hiding right next to water, resulting in the usual casualties of some competitors leaving their cars in the wrong place. John was hidden on the north of the Manchester Ship Canal, but there was also plenty of intersecting stretches of water as can be seen on the map below. Competitors came from all directions. Chris Plummer and John Heath came the best way in, from the road past the works, west of the transmission site. Chris Heys hoofed it from Martinscroft, just off the M6 junction 21. Meanwhile Dave Peacock and mate Simon left their car on the south side and took the nearby ferry service across the Ship Canal. Pandemonium broke out on the ferry as John came on the air when they were half way across! (opportunity for a double-take perhaps?)
