View Full Version : Corsica Rally davyboy 09 February 2002, 12:12 If any one can give me adivise it would be welcome. I have now booked it! Just want some info now! Neil Micklethwaite 11 February 2002, 14:16 General Advice : 1.Get a large scale local map. The speccy pack is good but the local maps are a good addition. 2.Take Wet Weather gear every where. 3. Get to stages at least 1 - 2 Hours before hand. 4. If you intend to speccy mid stage go for ones with good access , they do get busy. 5. Stay out side Ajaccio but not more than 30 k away. It can be slow getting between A and B. 6. Watch out on D roads - You will come across Subsidense , NO Armco , BIG Drops , Cows , Goats , Pigs. 7. Resteraunts - some look like dumps on the outside but they do some wicked grub. Mix of French / Italian. 8. Local delicasy - Smoked , Cured and heavily peppered Wild Boar - It is very nice. You taking your scoob or hiring. Enjoy it davyboy 11 February 2002, 15:22 Thanks Neil, I am flying to Alghero in Sardinia on the 3rd (via Ryanair £120 return), will hire a car at the airport and get some accomodation. Spend a day or two In Sardinia before heading up to the Ferry port (about 80 miles away). A quick 50 minute crossing, then its another 80 miles to Ajaccio. I imagine all progress will be slow, but should make for some great photos! Just need some accomodation, can you reccomend any? :D Neil Micklethwaite 11 February 2002, 17:58 Hi DavyBoy - we did the holiday deal through VFB Holidays , Flight Car Hire and Accommodation. However spoke to a guy who has just hopped on a plane , hired a car at Ajaccio and set off. He found a Hotel on the road from Ajaccio to Corte about 12km from Ajaccio. No Names I'm afraid but he said it was cheap and excellent. Cheap was about £10 per night with evening meal chucked in. Some people we met were actually kipping in the car ( renault Clio and they were not small lads ) A lot of places will be closed due to being off season , Ajaccio may be quite full due to being Rally HQ but I'm sure you would find something there. It will be busy. VFB Holidays ( www.vfbholidays.com or .co.uk ) may be able to help regarding accomodation. Have fun and enjoy. |
