Just been onto the Landy Rally forum and TomMc, the event director has posted the proposed route for this year...


I think it looks fantastic!!

To whet your appetite, here is the daily types of roads over which we’ll be travelling though the 11 countries, plus the evening campsites:-

Day 1: Official start in Maastricht, Holland. Main roads, motorways. Six countries on the first day. Camping in Feldkirch, Austria where we’ll meet up with some local off-roaders for a little tipple!

Day 2: Main roads, three more countries, three mountain passes including the incredible Stevio Pass in Italy with its 60+ hairpins, camping by Lake Como, Italy.

Day 3: A misty 40 mile lakeside drive early morning as the sun comes up, then boring motorway to make up time (well, maybe not so boring as you’ll be competing for space with mad Italian drivers!!!!!!!!), off-roading at the largest/highest/most beautiful off-road centres in Europe - Val d’Isére, camping in Val d’Isére village.

Day 4: Mountain roads, main roads, motorways, camping at a beach resort on the Mediterranean (a first for Landy Rally).

Day 5: Mountain roads and passes, main roads, shopping in the tax-free haven of Andorra (another completely new location), a glorious off-road route down into Spain, camping in the Catalan Pyrénées.

Day 6: Main road, Spanish greenlanes, camping in west of the Pyrénées.

Day 7: Driving the area I call the ‘dustbowl’. As there is so much more to see and drive in there, it is Wayne’s intention to carry out a reconnoitre there this summer (this being completely independent of my recee of the entire 3,000 LR`10 route in June – including the dust bowl) so come September it will be all mapped out and therefore sheer heaven! Afterwards it will be main roads. Camping in the North Western Pyrénées in France.

Day 8: Main roads, half-day driving with French off-roaders in the Dordogne.

Day 9: Main roads, motorways. One hour less drive than LR`09, but still a long boring drive up to Calais – NO CHOICE! The lure of the prize-giving dinner at the Café de Paris keeps you going.

Again, be aware this is only the proposed route for LR`10, so nothing will be definite until carrying out the June recee. That said, it is 80% definite.

It sounds fantastic, would love to drive it

Time my good man time......


I will be sorting something out in a couple of years, for a more leisurely drive through a couple of countries!
