Here's a wonderful way to celebrate our rolling roadways by heading into Northumberland's scenic hills for a leisurely drive. You'll need a passenger to give you "turn right" and "turn left" directions. Along the way you'll be answering questions that refer to specific landmarks you'll be passing.
Choose a rally below, print the questions, then get your car started and your passenger's pen poised:
Samuel de Champlain - Canada 150 - Rally (74kms) Scan down to ** for French
Discovery Drive Rally (77km)
Fantastic Farms Rally (85km)
Head for the Hills Road Rally (75km)
Views & Waterways Road Rally (69km)
Some enjoy making these rallies a fun competition (especially car clubs) where you can involve as many cars as you like, having them start at 3 minute intervals. The winner will have correct answers and the shortest travel time.
You can enhance the competition by having a list of items the participants must collect along the way for extra points i.e. oldest dated nickel, bingo dabber, used ticket stub.
** Northumberland has become a Certified Champlain Route Member and to celebrate this, we've translated the Champlain Road Rally into French for you to enjoy.
Samuel de Champlain Road Rally (74kms) which, when you get the right answers, will include a map of Champlain's journey through Northumberland in 1615.
