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.
