Crumball Rally
'ALLO 'ALLO

About 'Allo 'Allo

Another new and uniquely themed event for 2009, the Crumball Rally Co presented “Allo 'Allo", a banger rally drawing inspiration from arguably the best British tv comedy series ever. In a break from the usual Crumball tradition, instead of requiring everyone to turn up in a painted-up £200 banger, on this event we welcome anyone to come in any type of car.

As if willing your "little tank" a thousand miles across some of Europe's most scenic roads was not entertainment enough, there are a host of "light hearted" knockwurst related daily tasks, and plenty of opportunity for eating, drinking and socialising away the evenings (flying goggles, egg whisk and celery optional!).

'Allo 'Allo Route

This new 2009 Crumball Rally proudly takes its inspiration from the long running classic tv comedy 'Allo 'Allo, and gives us an opportunity to create a route that takes in some of Europe's most iconic and historic towns and scenery as we follow the trail of the Fallen Madonna mit ze big boobies.

Map

Day 1: Boulogne to Auxerre (Approximately 260 miles)

We will all meet in a large car park on the outskirts of the fictional town of Nouvion, better known as Boulogne at 8.30am where all the teams can admire / laugh / take bets on the durability of each other's vehicles! The first days route will take us through the Champagne region, and on through the French countryside to the picturesque town of Auxerre (pronounced 'oh-ZAIR'), with its winding streets and squares below belfries and half-timbered houses.

Day 2: Auxerre to Mâcon (Approximately 210 miles)

Today we set out to the most southerly point on the route to the Spa town of Vichy, before heading to the active centre of the Resistance during World War II, and the paved streets of Mâcon on the river Saone.

Day 3: Mâcon to Bruges (Approximately 440 miles)

Starting in hypermarket car park in Mâcon, the route then heads north via the rolling Luxembourg countryside and the aptly named Belgium town of Renaix, before heading to the architectural beauty of Bruges for a well earned drink at the finish.
