As I hear from Jonesy I'll post up what he tells me. Hopefully there are other competitors from here that can get info back to other O/L users so we can all keep up with what's going on!

Goodluck to all and while becoming a dad will be exciting I'll be quietly sobbing as once again I miss another OBC :cry:


Hey Fish,
Good Luck with your pending bub :) ......Guy Holt is also missing out this year awaiting baby no 2, so u are not alone.
Appreciate any OBC progress u manage to post ?
All the best,
Cheers,

Text from Dave White says SS1 completed OK.

Also, I am sure Andy Hogg would want me to correct Hoonz above - Andy who rolled his Ibex on SS1 is in fact English not Scottish (although James Andy's nav is from north of the border). Just to make things as confusing as possible, the other Ibex is driven by a Scot and his Nav is English !! :roll:
Apparently there were no injuries in the roll, other than damaged pride of course !
:D
