The Run

The Sucata Run is a charity rally from Home to Rouen, France then from Rouen to Cabo da Roca, Portugal over 4 days in a vehicle costing no more than £250. Finding the car is vthe easy bit, getting to Cabo da Roca is the challenge driving through the Spanish desert

Day 0 (Getting to Rouen). - It's up to you, but we think its worth getting to Rouen on Wednesday evening when we will be holding a pre-run get together for all the Sucateers in a bar in the centre of town. Alternatively, you can get up early on Day 1 to be at the start line for the 10.00am send-off.
Day 1 - Thursday 26th August. Rouen to La Rochelle (302 miles: 5-6hrs). Get to the start line early if you want the opportunity to show off your banger, meet your fellow Sucateers and leave town in convoy! Setting off around 10.00am, we will be making our way down through France, through the sunflower strewn landscape of the Loire Valley, to the stunning port of La Rochelle where we will complete our first days driving on the coast.
Day 2 - Friday 27th August. La Rochelle to San Sebastian (264 miles: 5-6hrs). Wake up the next morning to drive your banger through the endless vineyards of the Dordogne and across the Pyrenees mountains into Spain. You should arrive in San Sebastian in time to watch the sunset over the idyllic shell shaped Bahia de la Conchas.
Day 3 - Saturday 28th August. San Sebastian to Salamanca (283 miles: 5-6hrs). Heading right into the heart of Spain you'll go from coastal breeze to harsh desert landscapes as your engine's cooling system will be put to the test. Eventually you'll arrive in the oasis that is Salamanca - one of the oldest university cities in Spain. It is not only beautiful to look at but also has a brilliant nightlife too.
Day 4 - Sunday 29th August. Salamanca to Cabo da Roca (310 miles: 5-6hrs). The final day's driving takes you over the Spanish border and into Portugal. You'll pass through sleepy ancient stone villages, proud historic cities and beautiful coastal resorts before rocking up at the finishing line at the stunning Cabo Da Roca. The weekend's adventures then conclude with a huge party and prize giving ceremony where a toast is raised to all those unfortunate souls that didn't quite make it!
