Please find attached the ride.
Slight error as the map shows the ferry not the channel tunnel.
The full route is:
23rd March 2024
04.00 start (usual rules obtaining a receipt/mileage image) at a 24hr petrol station near the former Croydon airport;
04.15/04.30 Image of the memorial near the former Croydon airport where Roger Bushell flew from; Channel tunnel for 06.20 shuttle or earlier;
Into France (08.00), onto Stalag 3 museum and memorial by a few waypoints, back via Colditz, the memorial at Ramstein airbase and, the Square des Victimes de la Gestapo in Reims, back to Calais.
There is a fall back in case you are unable to make the museum before 17.00hrs.
All image points are open 24hrs, as are all but one intermediate receipt point, which closes at 22.00.
Not so full route:
I have made the route so that you could start in Calais undertake the ride and get back to Calais and achieve 1500 miles but you would need to be at the museum before 17.00hrs for a receipt, otherwise you are a few miles short on the fall-back waypoint I could find for the full route. This can also be used as a back up if there are issues with the CT etc. The route has been verified.
Once you have had an opportunity to review let me know if you still wish to participate, I will draft a list and then issue a route plan and other bits and pieces via the message system.
