Once again, we are keeping this event as simple as possible – both for Rider and the Organisers.
You can book a room at the finish hotel or one nearby if you wish, but it will be your responsibility to do so. You can stay anywhere you want on the previous evening (even at home), the only stipulation is that you must be at the disclosed start location at 0700 hrs on the 6th September 2025. Food and drink will be up to you. There will be no rally swag either.
Scoring will be conducted face to face. Simply hand in your score sheet and show us your photos – either on a Mobile phone or Digital camera.
Rally is restricted to 30 riders. Rally entry fee is £35. (the £5 increase this year due to overheads increase – otherwise we lose money!).
