Day 20 - Southern comfort

A glorious 385 km hack around the southern tip of South Island, breaking into a working canter and sometimes a full gallop for four regularities high and low. The route included a river crossing on a hand operated cable ferry that looked like something the Top Gear production team had dreamed up but dropped as being too daft. Our circus finally ended up in Dunedin for a gin facilitated post-mortem on the day in which several of the results table places had changed due to route errors and an uncharacteristic suspension failure of the barnstorming 1959 Volvo PV. Teams Rosie and Daphne were quietly satisfied with their performances. Rita Regularity is living up to her moniker with her new-and-improved timing system, which however can’t eliminate the risk of missing a routing slot when under pressure; Mario helpfully counselled the simple imperative of: Not Screwing Up.
