Day 13
Neochori to Delphi (335 km)
12 October 2024
Design: K-Design
With no Tests today, five Regularities
shifted the burden squarely on the
shoulders of the navigators, who were
most pensive as they pored over their
maps and road books, looking for
anything that might catch them out.
There was a lot of ground to cover and
Timing Points to visit.
It was also another busy day for
the organising team who leapfrogged
from their controls. By mid-morning
it was good to see Dick and chris, coauthors of the best-selling “appleton
and Mills Hit the Road” the seminal
guide to Balkan potholes, flood
damage and landslides.

This morning tension hung in
the air like the mists we’d driven
through. around the pre-dawn
breakfast tables crews pondered
how many of their hopes and
dreams would perish on the
altar of the penultimate day.
