Welcoming all types and models of Land Rover, Landy Rally™ is like no other event
ever seen before - it is truly unique! A 2,300 mile / 3,700km road run encompassing
8 countries in 7 days, this non-speed event comprising a maximum of 100 teams is
part competition, part off-road drive and part club-type social. Add to this mix,
the opportunity of raising a substantial amount of revenue for charities and good
causes, it quickly becomes apparent this is an event worthy of support.
The event is open to all the family with no minimum or maximum age limits. Overnight
stops will be a choice of either campsites or hotels, with a 'get together' party
at the temporary rally HQ every night!
Together with the road run itself, the Landy Rally™ itinerary includes ... A road
run through Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland and Italy, gentle off-road
driving on normally-closed pistes at Val d'Isére in the French Alps, visiting the
tax-free haven of Andorra (I.e. 1 litre of vodka @ £1.80), a fair amount of remote
tracks to tackle in the Spanish and French Pyrénées (the equivalent of our 'greenlaning')
and a prestigious prize-giving dinner to look forward to back at Calais. Plus, a
host of novel daily tasks to be completed en route in order to gain points for the
competitive side of the event.
Make no mistake; despite the fact it's a full-bloodied competition and not merely
a leisurely tour of Europe, the non-damaging aspect (I.e ‘non-extreme’ off-roading)
of the Charity Drive still allows participants
to have darn good fun without wrecking their vehicles. It is quite simply an event
that any true Land Rover enthusiast would love to be involved in.
