Rally - LeJoG 2019


On Saturday morning (7th Dec.) around 87 cars will set off from Land's End (Englandshire)  and head north through Walesland, then some more bits of Englandland before heading into Scotland on the morning of Monday 9th and the final northwards overnight dash arriving at John O'Groats mid morning on Tuesday.

Of course it's the annual 1500 mile Land's End to John O'Groats Reliability Trial for vehicles 'of a certain age' that is pre 1986 to the likes of you and me. So it's not an inaccessible event if you fancy one of the UK's last great motoring challenges.

This year marks the event's 25th anniversary and if you want to have a look-see various points have been publicised (see below). Naturally this being a rally, the organisers will not reveal the full route, hence the very limited number of locations where one can count on seeing the cars. However, even given these locations some folks can make a decent stab at the route, just not the loops and Controls which the competitors have to visit.

As for me, I fancy a run down to Kames on Monday morning. No reason, just to take the air and enjoy a drive over the moors!
