Story

The Clock Tower Challenge 2011 will be held from 25th - 27th March 2011 and all monies raised will go to Salisbury Hospicecare. Clock Tower Challenge 2011 is NOT a race, but it will take teams of up to 4 participants through five countries and over 1,000 miles in just 3 event-filled days! Starting from Salisbury (in the UK), the route will include: Dover (UK); Calais (France); Lille (France); Liege (Belgium); Cologne (Germany); Dusseldorf (Germany); Munster (Germany); Apeldoorn (Holland); Zwolle (Holland); Amsterdam (Holland); Utrecht (Holland); Brugge (Belgium);   Participants will be staying overnight in Cologne and Amsterdam - two of Europe’s greatest party towns! For some it will be an enjoyable visit to some of Europe’s most interesting cities - for others it could turn into the challenge of a lifetime. In the Clock Tower Challenge you will drive through five European countries (collecting photographs of clock towers and completing a number of challenges as you go). Crossings, accommodation and all travel arrangements are for you to plan. There will be a pre-event briefing on Friday 11th March 2011. The overall winner will receive a signed photograph of Sir Stirling Moss donated by Clive Cannell, of Legends Memorabilia (www.legendsmemorabilia.uk.com). There will be a prize draw of postcards collected from each country along the way. There will also be prizes for: • The shortest distance travelled; • The furthest distance travelled; • Winner of the Clock Tower Quiz; • Winner of the Postcard draw; • The oldest car to complete the route. It’s not just a great driving experience, but a great chance to visit some fascinating destinations, meet new people and raise some money for a great charity. The Clock Tower Challenge is open to all ages. All you need is: • Current UK driving licence (for those driving); • Roadworthy vehicle; • Digital camera (with a date and time function); • A mobile phone - with European roaming switched on; • Your passports, MoT and European insurance cover; • European Recovery Cover (highly advisable); • Travel Insurance (highly advisable); • Euros to keep you going on the way; • A sense of adventure (and humour); • A map or Sat Nav; • A willingness to do something different for charity; • Payment of £100 entrance fee per car... and lots of generous sponsors! • High visibility jackets, breakdown warning triangle, headlight lens adaptors and a fire extinguisher. Salisbury Hospice Fundraiser, John Lakeman, says:   “Last year’s Clock Tower Challenge succeeded on all fronts – it was fun, challenging, team building and raised a lot of money for Salisbury Hospicecare.
