These events form part of the CTC West Yorkshire DA Events Programme and are registered with the CTC Tourist Competition and Brevet de Randonneurs Mondiaux. The 600 km course has to be completed within 40 hours. There is an entry fee of £10.00

The 3 Coasts 600 consists of 2 stages. Stage 1 (381 km) goes out to the first coast (the East), turning at Bridlington, and returning to base. Stage 2 (227 km) goes out to the second coast (the West), visiting Blackpool and Glasson Dock, and then to the third coast, situated at the "weighvers' seaport" of Hollingworth Lake, returning to base by way of England's longest continuous downhill road.  

Another 3 Coasts 600 uses the routes of the Spurn Head 400 and The Good Companions 200 to visit the 3 coasts in a different way.

The East & West Coasts 600 bears marked similarities to the original 3 Coasts but misses out on some of the more interesting bits and also the third coast. The route sheet is still under preparation.

For this year only, the start and finish will be at the organiser's house where camping is available in the garden. Next year we hope to  return to our customary event HQ at Mytholmroyd Sports and Community Centre, on Caldene Avenue, just off the A646 and approximately 1 mile from Hebden Bridge, which has a large car park and is also easily accessible by rail (cycle-carrying trains stop hourly at Mytholmroyd from both Leeds and Manchester, and more frequently at Hebden Bridge). Sowerby Bridge is also on the same rail liner and is frequently served by the same cycle-carrying trains.

There is also a Youth Hostel (01706 812340) at Mankinholes, approximately 9 miles away. The Tourist Information Offices in Halifax (01422 368725) and Hebden Bridge (01422 843831) may be able to provide details of more up-market accommodation in the area.

Start: 6:00 am, Saturday 26 June 2010 at: 14 Stanley Street West, Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire HX6 1EF
