Lizard and the Camel

Posted on 4 January, 2019 by Margaret Aldis

Sunday 12th May 2019
Starting from Devoran Organiser Martyn Aldis

210km event from Devoran village hall, planned with the first-time randonneur in mind.

The route provides more modest ascent than other 200s run in Cornwall but it is scenic in the literal sense. The Camel Trail is used for a 21km section but this can be avoided on supplied all-tarmac alternative. Controls at Lizard Village, Gwithian and Padstow, plus 2 information controls.

Includes refreshments at Devoran and Gwithian, with shop and café opportunities at other controls and elsewhere on route.

Starting from Penzance Organiser Martyn Aldis

This is same route as 2018, brought back to the Easter weekend slot as a BRM to enable it to be used as a PBP qualifier. Visit the four ancient Cornish ‘Hundreds’ of Penwith, Kerrier, Pydarshire and Powdershire.

Note that this is an “X-rated” event, which means there are no manned controls or specific facilities. You attach commercial or ATM receipts to your brevet card for timed controls, and post it to the organiser after the event.

Many Rivers to Cross

Posted on 4 January, 2019 by Margaret Aldis

Sunday 21st April 2019
Starting from Penzance Organiser Martyn Aldis

306km Brevet de Randonneur. A very substantial day out for the well‐prepared and self‐reliant randonneur. Crosses the rivers Fal, Fowey and Camel by ferries and bridges, large and small. A very rich variety of Cornish countryside, the extremes being the nearly flat downs of the Lizard and the heavily corrugated western flank of Bodmin Moor.

This is same route as 2018, brought back to the Easter weekend slot as a BRM to enable it to be used as a PBP qualifier.

Note that this is an “X-rated” event, which means there are no manned controls or specific facilities. You attach commercial or ATM receipts to your brevet card for timed controls, and post it to the organiser after the event. No on-the-line entries.

Event updates

Posted on 2 July, 2018 by Margaret Aldis

Excellent day out yesterday both on tarmac and on trails  – who’d have thought we would be glad of a drop of rain to keep things cool for a while.

Chris Rayne has provided some excellent photos of the event as usual.

Chris’s own events, the Celtic Coastal and the Celtic Canter on the 21st October are now registered in the AUK calendar for the 2018/19 season and are open for entries. I’ve added these and other local(ish) events currently registered to our list of forthcoming events.
