Le Jog ranks high in the list of “must-do” events and year after year, crews from all over the world pit their skills against some of the toughest driving roads and weather as they compete against the clock to drive across Britain.
Every competitor dreams of collecting one of the elusive golds (only 1 earned in 2012), but crossing the finishing line is the main aim of many, particularly novices. The sense of achievement is immense and most crews pass under the finish banner with huge smiles on their faces.
As always, the aim of LE JOG is to allow crews to experience the heydays of British Rallying by day and night with long regularities and navigation sections, driving tests on private land, and the occasional section of smooth forest – with overnight halts on the Saturday and Sunday. You will cover approximately 1500 miles from the extreme south west of the UK to the north of Scotland using as many minor roads as possible.
The weather in early December is unpredictable and can range from glorious sunshine, to torrential rain and blizzards – all conditions experienced on most LE JOG over the past 18 years! The challenge is meant to be tough, but no specialist preparation is required, just a well prepared car. LE JOG has always attracted novices, and recognises their achievement with an award for the best performance by a beginner. The LE JOG training day covers various topics such as car and crew preparation, map reading, and dealing with regularities.Lands End
Approximately two weeks before LE JOG, entrants are provided with are provided with information to enable them to plot the locations of main controls, rest halts and driving tests to plot the location of main controls, rest halts, driving tests and regularity starts/finishes. For competitors who may not have time to plot this information, a specially prepared map book is issued to all. Additional route information is issued at the start of each leg. Navigation is pretty straightforward and no trickery is involved.
