Chriss Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 2021 Coast 2 Coast Run Club Triumph is thrilled to announce the 2021 Coast 2 Coast Run. The C2C Run is designed to be a challenging driving experience of about 400 miles, lasting about 12 hours time. It is a different type of event from the RBRR and the 10CR, but taking the best features of either. It seeks out some of the best driving roads that we can find in the UK. It is primarily about driving, so planning the navigation is not difficult and can be done in advance, but due to the nature of the roads used, navigating may be more difficult and will require attention. There is also a social element to the event through meals held before and after the event. Due to the location of the roads upon which the event is to be held, National Parks and uplands, the start or the finish is located some distance from the main population centres. We try to minimise the inconvenience but the event will be a fairly high effort, high enjoyment challenge. It can be looked at as an event in three parts: getting to the start, the run and getting home. For many it will involve as many miles as a day of the Round Britain Run. It may offer an opportunity to visit a fairly remote part of the country that you have not previously visited. The 2021 event will be held during the night of Saturday and Sunday 3rd and 4th of July. The normal Club Triumph regulations apply. Full MSUK and national Covid-19 regulations will be rigorously enforced. It is intended that entry will open on 15th May and will be solely through the Club Triumph website. The price of entry is £25.00 per vehicle. This covers entry into the event, car stickers and finisher’s souvenir. Food consumed at the restaurants is at the entrant’s expense (main courses will typically be around £10-£12). Fuel, car preparation, any tolls (none anticipated) and getting to and from the event are also at the entrant’s expense. The provisional route of the event is to start at Flamborough Head in Yorkshire, to drive through the North York Moors including over Rosedale Chimney, skirting Teesside and into the North Pennines Area of Natural Beauty on to Gretna Green for a pause. Then to head south to The Hartside Summit and Alston, into the Yorkshire Dales to Sedbergh and through The Forest of Bowland to Slaidburn and then a well earned breakfast in Southport. This is a distance of approximately 365 miles. For an overall map of the route see below or go to Events > C2C > 2021C2C. Full details will be available on entry. MSUK and Covid-19 regulations will not permit the normal signing on and briefing. These will have to be done electronically. Details will become available with the entry pack. The Starting point is the Headlands Restaurant at Flamborough Head. The supper will be held there starting at 17:00. Parking for entrants will be in the car park by the restaurant. https://www.headlandsrestaurant.co.uk/ There will be a rest at the halfway point at Gretna Green Motorway Services. Most of the caterers will be closed, but WH Smiths will have Starbucks vending machines and sandwiches available. Finding catering at 01:00 on a Sunday in the borders for up to 100 is almost mission impossible! https://www.welcomebreak.co.uk/locations/gretna-green-a74m/ The finish will be at Brewers Fayre, Ocean Plaza, Southport. Brewers Fayre provided a great breakfast at Bicester this year and is just about the only place that can cope with 100 in Southport from 06:30. For your route home afterwards Southport is well placed for access to the motorway network with the M6 not too far away. https://www.brewersfayre.co.uk/en-gb/locations/merseyside/ocean-plaza Initially entry will be limited to 50 cars. Should more that this express interest, a reserve list will be maintained. Start getting ready! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batch Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Hi Chris, Great to see the C2C is running this year, unfortunately we won't be with you this year as we've got a prior commitment. Presumably next year you plan to revert back to an April date to coincide with Drive it day.

Rutty Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Hi Chris, Looking forward to it and you are using some of roads and places I used when organising an HCR a few years ago but never got to drive as I was an organiser. One question, If the crew members are from different house holds will we have to wear facemasks? Thanks. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldry1500 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Fantastic news Chris. Hope to see you and lots of others there. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt306 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Looks a good drive out Chris. When do entries open, or have i missed some link on the new site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hunt Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Matt, if you click on the event in the Upcoming Events side bar you will see that entries are planned to open on 15th May, through this website. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hi Rutty and all I'll publish the regulations and Covid regulations just before entry opens. There is still some finalisation to do about online sign on. Covid regs will be published for the current conditions, but there is a chance of a substantial reduction in severity by July. Currently facemasks will have to be worn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulB Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Looks like a good route Chris and looking forward to taking part this year. I should have my son as my co-driver. This will be his first CT event. I thought it might be good experience for him in preparation for the RBRR that we are also doing. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Sounds like a great route taking in some areas I know and love! So really nice "driving roads" around the forest of Bowland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubce Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 When it gets to next Saturday (15th) and entry opens for this year's C2C, where abouts on this site do we click to create and submit our entry and subsequently pay our entry fee?

Chriss Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Hi Bruce That's a good question that I cannot answer just yet. The Event Entry System is still being designed and tested and I am not sure yet how it will be accessed. I will update the Forum when I know. It will not be difficult and likely be a new Forum thread for entry including a link and a link from Home >Events>C2C>C2C20121. If entry cannot be opened on the 15th I'll also post a new thread advising of the developments. I have announced the event as early as I can to give entrants as much car preparation time as possible.

Rubce Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Hi Chris Any news on how we are to enrol? Regards Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 I will post instructions on the Forum when the system is in place and operational. I expect that will be on Saturday. But that will depend on not having any unforeseen difficulties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Clarke Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Just signed up for the C2C, this will be my first Club event. Had signed up last year, also the RBRR. Excellent roads and looking forward to meeting some like minded Triumph abusers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubce Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Signing up through the club website shop was super fast, easy and painless😁👍Right up to the bit where I had to open my wallet🤣 Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Signed up, but signing up was quite slow - clicking on the select item to purchase froze so I had to copy the purchase link and post it in a separate tab, then the payment stayed on processing for a number of minutes with a rotating circle showing. This could be a combination of Firefox & various add blockers that I have installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt306 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Entered although not sure if I am number 51 or higher. Processing payment took a bit of time but all good on a mobile device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutty Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Entry was straight forward though it did site on the payment screen saying processing for a couple of minuets but it got there in the end. On the team information page it is asking for MSUK licence number. I have a MSUK licence but I am not sure if my Co driver does. I can find no mention in the regs regarding needing one. Please can someone clarify this point. Looking forward to this event. Thanks Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
