LeJog

The start overlooking the rugged Cornish Coastline sees crews straight into the opening Test around Land’s End. The first cars tackle the cliff route in the dark before making their way to the first Regularity, the route will return to the northern area of Cornwall and Devon with some new roads and test venues likely to challenge the crews as they start on this epic journey on through some of the lesser used back roads of Cornwall and mid Devon with a lunch stop enroute.

Fully fuelled we plan to venture into pastures new through some favourite rally roads of yesteryear moving from Devon into Somerset. Heading north we look to include a section on the Somerset before crossing into Wales for the final regularity of the day which concludes in the Abergavenny area.

Leg 2 sees crews heading west and deeper into Wales before climbing over the Brecon Beacons and taking in a series of challenging regularities and tests using some of the classic roads historically associated with LeJog and the welsh road rallying homeland.

The action intensifies with the now traditional sting in the tail Time Control section that will keep both crew members on their toes before the overnight stop on the outskirts of Chester.

Fully refreshed after a well-earned break, the route will see crews tackle some tests to break up the run up the M6 to north of Preston where the meat of the final leg really gets going. A long regularity across the hills and fells of the area is followed by more tests before a lunch stop in Cumbria.

We are truly in the north at this point but there’s more action to follow as darkness will contrive to increase the challenge of the final regularities before crews arrive for their overnight halt in Newcastle.
