"A true DFer never follows the law of averages, the wrong side of the river is always visited first."
The start was Great Bentley Green on the Ipswich map. TX A was Peter Larbalestier in Bridge Wood, Ipswich, NGR 188401, and TX B was Richard Witney on the sea wall at Point Clear, NGR 102158.
We were kept close to cooling waters all afternoon! Tim and I 'of course' visited Brightlingsea before Point Clear and met the eventual winners, Andrew and team, as they were leaving the site. They had apparently had 'difficulties with a local' establishing the correct footpath! After running half a mile past him I eventually found Richard hidden by the smallest of bushes beside the sea wall, a long low aerial ran out on a few sticks over the mud towards the sea.
Peter requested a clearer image of Station A than the map provides.
