Recommended Posts

Club Triumph proudly announces the first Coast to Coast Run for Drive it Day - 21-22 April 2018

The 2018 C2C will start around 5pm Saturday April 21st at Anglesey race circuit with a meal and the opportunity of some sighting laps around the circuit. The run itself then sees us head off across country via an absolute belter of a route taking in some of the best driving roads in Wales and England, arriving at the finish point, Southwold (Suffolk) around 8am the following morning for breakfast. This event will be non-competitive with no complicated navigation and the full route will be given to all entrants in advance of the start.

For anyone out there that is entering the RBRR for the first time, this is an excellent opportunity to give both your car and crew a shake down prior to the event!

Quoted from Nick Jones
Any clues on the "on event" mileage?  Just trying to work out whether it would exceed the 530-odd to/from start/finish mileage.  To be fair, the "to" mileage up through Wales will be a fine run in its own right.  The return from Southwold..... not so much!

Hi Nick

I think you're looking at just over 400 miles as per the suggested route - mainly A roads.

Thanks 🙂.  Shortest route was about 345, but was pretty sure that wouldn't be the Ellis route!  400 is quite moderate really, I was getting up to some quite big numbers when playing around  

I haven't figured out how to get on the new website at all yet

I would dearly love to enter this, but the Sunday is the same Sunday that the Clacton Stages road rally (the first closed road rally in England for god knows how long) is on and I'm already committed to that as a marshal.

Am I man enough, or mad enough, to drive to Wales on Saturday, drive back overnight, then spend all day Sunday marshalling on the Clacton event?

Hi Keith,

Sparky - go for it. I will have to drive down to Sussex for a drive it day all day bash.
If you wear sun glasses while marshaling you can shut your eyes
