What's The route?
Well planned out using years of experience!
Meeting at a campsite in Wisbech we will leave at 12pm and we begin our journey North taking on 8 different mountain passes each with their own unique style and driving demands. The drives each day are short and comfortable allowing plenty of time to stop and see the sights. Arriving at the camspite each day early gives you maximum time to spend chatting to other teams and cooking dinner. Or you can even head back and re do some of the passes (one of the campsites sits right next to a mountain pass). The route takes you on 5 nights camping then to finish off 2 nights at the stunning hotel in Appleby where we will have a delicious dinner. There are many other surprises on route in typical Rust 2 Rome style, we like to keep them a surprise for the day! You can stay over at the campsite in Wisbech the night before the rally starts if your drive time to the start line means you have to leave a day in advance, just let the orgainiser know and he can book you in.
