TEAM SUCATA GOLF ////

What's the Sucata Run?

The Sucata Run is a bargain basement banger rally tour where teams of up to 4 people drive to Europe's most westerly point in 4 days, in bangers costing no more than £250. It takes place over the August bank holiday weekend (27th - 31st) and culminates at the breath taking Guincho beach on the Portuguese coast.


And what's it all about?

It's for a good cause of course. Gemin-i.org is a charity specialising in developing innovative solutions to improve education in the developing and developed worlds. To find out more about us please click here or visit the website.

On the way it passes through La Rochelle, the most attractive and unspoilt seaside town of France, San Sebastian, the Spanish summer capital, and the beautiful Salamanca, Spain's original party city.

Day 2. Fri 28th Aug: La Rochelle to San Sebastian

Day 3. Sat 29th Aug: San Sebastian to Salamanca

Day 4. Sun 30th Aug: Salamanca to Cabo da Roca
