I have organised another of the now somewhat traditional trips to the Cyclo-Cross World Championships in January 2025 to Liévin, France. This will be the eighth trip I’ve arranged and some of you have been before. If you might like to join us, I’ve provided some short information below. Rather than fill up this post with to much info, see the link at the end for the rest. New for this trip is that the transport picks-up on our doorstep in Cheltenham 😊
Dates: Friday 31st January - Monday 3rd February 2025
Itinerary / included:
· Friday 31st January 2025: coach departs from Cheltenham around 05.00 (time will be confirmed nearer the time). Travels along A417 & A419, M4, M25, M26, M20 with agreed pick-ups along the way. Take the train from Folkestone through the Channel Tunnel. Continue our journey on the coach to Lille. Spend three nights on a bed and breakfast basis at the Mercure Lille Centre Grand-Place Hotel.
· Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd February: coach travel from the hotel to the race and back.
· Monday 3rd February: a more relaxed start before starting the journey home. Drive to Calais for the return train crossing from Calais to Folkestone. A hypermarket stop in Dunkerque should be possible but will depend on our progress. Continue the return journey back to Cheltenham, dropping off at the same pick-up points as the outward journey. Expecting to arrive in Cheltenham late afternoon/early evening.
