Not since the infamous trip to Thurlstone have we endured quite so execrable a route as that served up by the good Cap’n this evening. Absolutely no idea whatsoever where we went – hopefully the webmaster will be along in due course with a track to throw some light on Read more
The online DP Calendar for 2014 has now been updated to include all British and English Champs counters, Carshare League fixtures, and Peak District local races listed in the FRA online calendar (whether these count in the Local League or not).

The traditional thirty-six hour DP consultation period having lapsed since publication of the Winter DP News – without comment, protest or worse – I now declare the following twelve fixtures as counters for the Carshare League in 2014.
