Phil commented, "I could have filled this cup up with all the water I poured out of my transmitter after operating in the rain on Winter Hill!"

Ross said, "Through the summer, it was a very close competition, with the lead swapping a couple of times. If it wasn't for that Saturday on the Mendips in August, when Phil was away on holiday, there would only have been a few points between us! I must commend him on his perseverance, operating in the pouring rain on a few occasions, and driving hundreds of miles during the event."
