You have a choice of two routes from Worsley Old Hall to Blackpool . The shorter more 'Direct route' avoids steep inclines, and a longer ‘Scenic’ route which is more challenging to car and driver.

 The schedule for Control opening and closing is based on an average speed of 18mph for the Direct route and 26mph on the longer Scenic route.

 Both routes avoid built up areas, as far as possible, and travel through the West Pennine Moors and Belmont before taking in the Ribble valley and the Fylde.

 The organisers may also organise a supplementary start for cars manufactured prior to 1919 in the Blackburn area with a route of some 36miles with control openings based on a 12mph average.

 There will be a lunch halt where entrants may purchase refreshments en route. The finish will be in Blackpool town centre.

 Please forward the regulations to others who may be interested in this classic event.

As always, a big thank you to the countless energetic volunteers and marshals, without whom this (and all our other) events just could not take place. 

We are also indebted to our generous sponsors and supporters whose continuing support means that this event moves forward each year:

Messrs Bowker, Preston & Blackburn
Gaskell Motor Bodies (GT Harwood)
Worsley Old Hall
Blackpool Council
