Doh, I didn't spot that there was a restriction in the rules - explains
why I found it hard going trying to run around 1817.  Who's daft idea is
that putting a restriction where you can operate when there are other
contests on the go at the same time  and they can operate down there,  I
just listened round, couldn't find a spot to sit in higher up because of
the huge sigs from all the big rigs and settled for a clearish spot
lower down amongst the continentals.  Oh well, I probably wasn't going
to send an entry in anyway.   

Yes please remove silly restrictions like that which are different from
everyone elses rules (Re: the OE ones).
