"Tour of Cheshire Historic Road Rally
Spectator Guide.
On Saturday 5th March 2011 Knutsford and District Motor Club will be running a Historic Road Rally in and around Cheshire and a neighbouring county
About 75 vehicles from the 50s, 60s and 70s will be taking part; they will be navigating their way around the beautiful and interesting Cheshire and nearby countryside. Throughout the day they will complete an almost circular tour of around 140 miles, starting and finishing near Beeston and stopping at places of interest and heritage sites. If you would like to see the 75 crews participating and take in the sight of historic cars such as Triumph TR3s and TR4s, Mini Coopers, Sunbeam Rapiers, MGA and MGBs, Austin Westminsters, early Ford Escorts, Sunbeams Alpine and Tiger, Hillman Imps, Mercedes, Lancias, Alfa Romeos, early Porsches, and many other vehicles (see below for how you can access the full list of cars and crews), we have compiled a list of Public Houses and other locations along the route that will hopefully give a great vantage point for watching the event, whilst making a great place to stop and take in the hospitality of some of the area’s finest pubs. (We cannot promise they will all be open at the time the rally passes, however, but some certainly will!). Please park carefully so as not to impede the rally, customers nor members of the general public. The rally will take about 1 1/2 hours to pass. Most of the other locations which the cars visit are private and spectators cannot be admitted. Times below are approximate. Note in the event of bad weather or other problems the route and times may have to be altered at the last minute.
Woodland car park near Oulton Park race circuit (just W of the main entrance). Cars approach from the south, then turn right at a tee junction to pass the entrance to the race circuit on their right. There are woodland parking areas near the tee junction. This is quite early on the first regularity section. Note the rally does NOT enter the race circuit. Cars approach from the S and depart to the E, first car due 9.00 am.
Shrewsbury Arms pub on A54 near Common Side. Cars use a short stretch on A road to pass the pub. On a regularity section. Cars approach the pub from the SE and depart to the W, first car due 9.02 am.
High Legh Garden Centre on A50 at High Legh. Coffee stop for competitors and a test in the car park. A good spectating spot. Garden centre shop and cafe will be open, but please do not impede or delay competitors and do follow marshals’ directions. First car due 10.15 am.
Antrobus Arms pub on A559 near Antrobus, crossing A road. On a regularity section. Cars approach from the NNE and depart to the SSW, first car due 11.10 am.
Hanging Gate pub at crossroads of B5153 and B5142 in Weaverham. On a transport section. Cars approach from the N and depart to the WNW, first car due 11.25 am.
Shady Oak pub, Wharton’s Lock, near Tiverton. Canal-side pub. On a regularity section. Cars approach from N, first car due 12.30 pm.
Egerton Arms, Broxton. A41 and A534 intersection. Cars cross the roundabout from W to E and some may take on fuel at the filling station. On a transport section. First car due 2.25 pm.
Swan Inn in Marbury. A pleasant village to linger and spectate. On a regularity section. Cars approach from W and depart to NE, first car due 3.20 pm.
Whitchurch, (Shropshire) near town centre. Park in the shopping area near the traffic lights 1/3 mile WNW of the railway station. An ‘urban’ setting to watch the rally but plenty of facilities close at hand. On a transport section. Cars approach traffic lights from NE on yellow road, and depart to NW on brown, first car due 3.45 pm.
We hope you can get out and enjoy the spectacle of our motoring heritage weaving its way through the countryside and also give support and/or a donation to the North West Air Ambulance - a charity which the Tour of Cheshire and Knutsford & DMC are supporting. If you would like more details of the event (including the full entry list) and the North West Air Ambulance then visit the event web site at www.tourofcheshire.co.uk "
