Good news! We’ve got enough details together to build the launch for the 2026 event, running 20-22 June 2026.
As in previous years we’ll follow on from the London to Brighton EV Rally, taking participants on another adventure. Unlike previous years we won’t be getting on a ferry, but we’ll be exploring the beautiful West Country. We may return to Europe for next year’s event, but for now…
The format of the event will be similar to previous years, day 1 (Sat 20 June) is London to Brighton, day 2 (Sun 21 June) is Brighton to a secret location in Somerset, and day 3 (Mon 22 June) is Somerset to Cornwall. We will finish our fun at Lands End with a celebratory buffet and prizes at the spectacular Land’s End Hotel.
Along the way there will be challenges. We’ll have an offroad stage on Salisbury Plan and we will be visiting the first power plant in the UK to generate electricity from the earth’s natural heat.
We are really excited to be working with Kevin and Tom at Nerpa Travel (https://www.nerpatravel.com) on the event this year – they have previously been involved in the Mongol Rally and are organising an electric motorbike rally in Vietnam in September (looks amazing!). They are cooking up a special adventure for day 3 off the beaten track in Devon and Cornwall…
We have found accommodation in Somerset and at Lands End with a variety of options to suit different budgets. In Somerset we can all be together, at Lands End it’ll most likely be split across three sites all with 5 miles of Lands End hotel. There may even be an electric bus to shuttle people to the accommodation if you want to have a drink at Land’s End.
Booking information will be available shortly. Some people have to get home for work so we’ll have options for those who want to participate in Day 1 (Saturday London to Brighton), Day 2 (Sunday, Brighton to Somerset) and/or Day 3 (Monday (Somerset to Cornwall), and accommodation options to suit.
