BASE CAMP | 8TH TO 12TH SEPTEMBER | EAST DEVON
POOH COTTAGE HOLIDAY PARK
BUDLEIGH SALTERTON
Where it starts. Where you'll sleep the night before. Where you'll want a shower after.
- THE PLACE
THE CALM BEFORE THE DIVIDE.
Pooh Cottage is a small, family-run holiday park on the edge of Budleigh Salterton, set in eight acres of East Devon countryside. Woodbury Common is next door, the National Cycle Network runs past, and the sea is a mile down the hill.
It's our base for the whole event. Registration, the night before, the start, and somewhere to come back to when it's done.

We ride down together from Base Camp to the seafront at Budleigh Salterton. Timed start from there.
WED 8 SEPT
Arrive, pitch up and register. Bike and kit check, tracker handed out, brevet card in your pocket.
