Celebrate our culture and heritage by driving our rolling roadways into Northumberland's scenic hills with a lot of hilarious entertainment along the way.
"These are a really fun way to discover such a beautiful area that we'd probably never otherwise explore," says Christie T who loves to bring her husband along for the adventure.
To get started, you'll need a passenger to give you "turn right" and "turn left" directions, stopping at times to answer questions referring to specific landmarks.

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. All of the rallies start at a large parking area.
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 (74 km) which, when you get the right answers, will include a map of Champlain's journey through Northumberland in 1615.
