Snow hit the country over the weekend and many competitors were unable to get to the start.

Those that made it successfully were greeted by deteriorating conditions as the snow settled and the organisers decided to cut the event short after Tipley.

Despite the conditions competitors enjoyed the challenge of a tough, competitive event. Craig Allen (1300 Beetle) narrowly held off Ian Facey (BMW) for best car. Score relieving was employed on some of the sections but Craig and Ian would still have been one, two without it.
