Rally Site
The club has well established camping facilities with recently refurbished toilets and showers as well as washing up facilities and a clubhouse with a licensed bar. The pitches are a mix of grass and hardstanding. There are 20 electric hook-ups, but we can double this by using splitters. The first 20 requests for an electric hook-up will definitely get access. The second tranche of 20 will need to bring a splitter. Well before the rally, we will inform the attendees that requested electric whether they need to bring a splitter. It will also help us if you can indicate on the booking form comment box if you do have a splitter. We will have exclusive use of a marquee for those post ride brews and evening socials. No meals will be provided as part of the rally. Kirkby Lonsdale has plenty of accommodation options if camping is not your thing (the rally fee still applies if staying off-site). The town is less than a mile away from the site with a range of independent shops and a supermarket.
Rides
The rides explore the surrounding beautiful countryside from the coast to the Dales, the villages of the Lune valley and the larger towns of Kendal, Settle and Lancaster. Each day there are three rides to choose from, the short rides are typically less than 30 miles trying to avoid too many hills, the medium rides are up to around 45 miles and the long rides are between 50 and 60 miles. Turn by turn instructions and gpx files for each route will be available on the club website a few weeks before the event. Each rally attendee is expected to bring their own printed copy of the route instructions / gpx track files. For those that have not yet attended a Tandem Club rally, we do not go out as a large group. Instead we tend to set off in small groups, so as not to swamp the local roads.
OS Landranger 97 & 98 maps cover 99% of the short and medium rides.
Entertainment:
In the evenings there will be the usual mix of socials; with a quiz, guest speaker and a Friday night barn dance.
