This is a road rally organised by Somerset Advanced Motorcyclists (SAM) which involves plotting a route throughout the South West Peninsula. It will require some navigational skills, mental dexterity and observational ability, but above all, it is designed to be an enjoyable event for all Riders on two or three wheels.
The object of this South West Peninsula Spring Rally is to complete various stages, collecting answers to clues on your travels. These answers and points decide the award achieved.
This is the 9th edition - and many more to come.. Join us!
