No specialist navigational equipment beyond stopwatch, roamer, pencils and head torch. Pay special attention to the regs and read them many times. Decent lights, battery and charging. Average speed charts, working odometer. Warm clothes, wet weather stuff if you're open.
It is enormous fun, specifically because the challenge isn't beating the twisted mind of the route setter. It's following a 200 mile route, at night in a prewar car and staying on time The sense of satisfaction is immense to just finish.
I have finished a few times but never got to the engravers.
Catching fire at 1.30am on top of the North Yorks Moors in the snow was a bit grim. Waiting 3.5 hours for a breakdown truck was effing cold.
