Rallye Med 2010.
Our next adventure rally will be to drive around the Mediterranean. This will present the challenge of 18,000 kms in 2 months through widely differing cultures and landscapes from Morocco to Albania. There will be constant reminders of the civilisations that have shaped history along it’s shores from the Greco – Roman empire in Libya’s Cyrene & Leptis Magna, Syria’s Palmyra, to the Pyramids of ancient Egypt and Jordan’s Petra built by the Nabateans.
The itinerary, route notes providing a daily description of the schedule, map and entry list appear as separate web pages and you are invited to contact us if you are interested in participating. The rally is open to cars in production pre-1970.
South America 2012.
Until we have completed the Rallye Med in 2010, we will not commence detailed planning for this event which will again involve about 8 weeks in October / November 2012.However, the intention and challenge will be to drive from the Northern to the Southern tip of the continent. The rally will start in Colombia’s Cartagena – one of the most attractive cities in S.America and proceed south through Ecuador, Peru, Chile and Argentina. Finishing in Tierra del Fuego, the cars will be shipped home from Ushuaia.
Members who have previously travelled there will be able to return to see some of the highlights at a more leisurely pace. On reaching Quito, we will leave the cars for a week whilst taking a boat tour round the Galapagos islands. Proceeding south, we will fly over the mysterious Nasca Lines, visit Cuzco and the countryside around Machu Picchu, cross Laka Titicaca, detour to Potosi ( the highest city in the world ) & Sucre ( Bolivia ), visit some of Chile’s most important vineyards and the capital - Santiago, enjoy Bariloche’s beautiful mountain scenery with the volcanos beyond, walk on the Moreno Glacier ( the only stable glacier in the world ) and enjoy rest days in the famous Torres del Paine National Park with it’s world famous rock formations before finally crossing the Magallan Straits to the finish in Ushuaia.
