Halton Army Training Camp Site Plan
All three rides will start and finish at the Halton Army Training Camp. To view a plan of the site and information on how to get there please view the PDF document below.
Before starting your ride, you must register on the day at the Registration Office, Army Training Camp, Halton. But please arrive early and allow enough time to register and prepare for your ride. Riders start individually and all riders must wear a helmet and obey the rules of the road (see our full terms conditions on our website and on the booking form).
Again we are using the SPORTident electronic timing system (www.sportident.co.uk) and at registration you are given a rider number card to attach to your bike and a timing ‘dibber’ will be either be attached to your wrist or hung from a lanyard you wear (they’re small and robust - you can shower/bath/sleep without damaging it). When you finish, these timing (Si-cards) must be handed back at the Registration office where they can be exchanged for a complimentary food voucher.

How to get to the camp...
All vehicles will enter the site through Gate 3 and will be directed to the car parks on a strict one-way traffic system, exiting through Gate 2. All cyclists will exit and re-enter the camp using Gate 2 only.
M6 Jct 34, head away from Lancaster towards Caton on the A683. Smaller vehicles may cross the Lune at the very narrow single lane bridge at Denny Beck, but you would be advised to continue to the Crook-o-Lune just before Caton. Turn sharp left and cross the river, following signs to Halton, through the village, bear left at mini roundabout, continue under the motorway; the army camp is within a mile on the left hand side.
From the East: follow signs to Lancaster. When you get to Caton on the A683, go through the village and take the right turn to Halton crossing the Crook-o-Lune (follow instructions, above).
North of the river: travelling south on the A6-Slyne Road, turn left at Slyne towards Halton. At crossroads turn right down Kellet Lane. At bottom of the hill turn left for 200 yards, the army camp is on the right.
From Lancaster: Head north on A6 through Skerton (Owen Road), just after the school (on the right), (Ryelands Park and BP on the left), turn right following signs to Halton. The Army camp is within a mile, on the right hand side of the road.
Registering
We have plenty of space for car parking. The organisers have taken pains to cover all aspects of the route and timings, but variations may become necessary on the day.
