Grizedale Stages Rally is happening tomorrow in the Lake District National Park. It will be the 27th such event this 21st November 2015 and it should prove exciting for car rally aficionados. Up to 75 crews are taking part, and hopefully the weather will co-operate. Certainly, our Lakeland weather is looking good right now after some days of voluminous downpours.
Here is more information about the Grizedale Stages Rally:
Grizedale Stages Rally 2015 will take place on Saturday 21st November 2015. It will start from Coniston but much of the other activity – trailers, scrutineering, signing-on, main service – will be based at Skelwith Fold caravan park. . . .
Whilst the rally has a familiar 41 stage miles and 43 road miles, the stage routes in Grizedale are all-new.
Scrutineering and Signing On will take place on Friday evening and Saturday morning at Skelwith Fold. Trailers and Service barges can be left here, in situ ready for main service on Saturday afternoon.
On Saturday morning the start will be from the Coniston main car park, with 1st car away at 09:30hrs.
We take an all-new route from Dunnerdale to Grizedale with time allowed for emergency service. Two stages of 9.5 and 8.5 miles in length run in Grizedale West. These are repeated after Main Service back at Skelwith Fold.
The last car is expected at MTC2 at Skelwith Fold around around 15:00hrs.
