More than 6, seeing as there's points for 10 and the first round had a lot!

That was the first round. How about subsequent rounds?

Will be at least 5 or 6 teams enough to be competitive, anything other than last will be a result for me as I will be taking it rather "gingerly"

OK just a rule clarification so we are crystal clear...........

5 hours is the total time allowed (may or may not be enough :? )for both sets of stations in the envelopes and not 2 1/2 hours for each set.....

You must complete all of the stations in envelope 1 before opening envelope 2.... They may be a tough set of stations and with time ticking away it may be tempting to leave a couple of stations out, open the second set and complete 13 out of 15 in the alloted time. Of course envelope 2 could be even worse :!:

When giving times to the sub BERC you will need to advise both of your final stations visited in the relevant envelopes, or your total stations visited in 5 hours........ An interim time for the first 8 stations would be nice but not essential... 8)

Good luck and see you all the home of cricket on Saturday :P

Did a couple of test sets of stations last night. My completion times seem to vary greatly from about 2 hours to 4.5 hours.

Fact of the day - there is a 40% chance that at least one station will be in both envelopes.
