A trip onto the continent and up to Denmark last year,the old rust heap did over 2000 miles and I raised £1000 for Jigsaw children's hospice in Carlisle.
The cars were amazing and it was a cracking trip.

Latest Recce road run....

Hello and welcome to this new page for the Rust Heap Rally.
Having done hundreds of road trips myself all around the UK and onto the continent while participating in a rally,I've picked up many skills and ideas and noticed so many people were missing out on participating due to the length of the rally,cost of participating or number of people required to name a few,so it spurred me on to start my own.
We will be doing road trips all around the UK for all skill levels,it's not a race,we meet up at a pre-arranged start point,you get given a destination and suggested route and that route will have been personally driven by me prior to the rally.
I'll give you a few suggestions for places to stop for photo opportunities,refreshments, food,fuel,even the road surface conditions as the Rust Heap Rally isn't just catered for cars and vans but motorbikes are welcome to take part.
Those who want to travel in convoy with myself and others are more than welcome to,you'll see photos on the page from the Recce run I'll have already done but there will be so much more you'll see along the route and if you decide to take a different route,I'll be staying on the suggested route, so you'll catch up with us somewhere along the way and if not I'll be at the destination point for set time.
The duration of the drive each day is easily achievable by a single crewed vehicle or rider as many people are missing out by not being able to get a team mate to join them and some just like to drive alone,I know I do.
We keep the driving hours to a maximum of 3 to 4 hours per day but that's in total,I pick routes with some superb scenery that makes you want to keep stopping for pictures,good fuel station accessibility,places to eat and take comfort breaks.
Just get yourself a car for under £1000,get it roadworthy if needed and if you want to,decorate it any way you want,for as much as you like,the brighter and more eye-catching it is, the better!
I'm not the Grand Tour team,I don't leave anyone behind if I can help,I'm sure many of us will have some mechanical abilities for repairs but roadside assistance is a good idea.
Rallies will range from one to five days so you'll be able to hopefully find one that suits you and your budget.
Accommodation costs for overnight stays will be worked out and a simple entry fee for each car,not each participant and after costs are deducted the remainder will be going to charity.
You're welcome to raise money for your own chosen charities too.
More to come soon as I continue setting up this page but if you want to ask any questions,feel free to email me at [email protected].
I know you'll love the experience,let's have some fun!

Taking roadworthy,rust heap cars on some of the best roads the UK has to offer.
