Cycle Around the World on the Strawberry Line

Sunday 20 June 2010 10am-4pm (last start time 2pm)


To register to take part in this FREE family event for all abilities complete the Cycle Hunt registration form (pdf, Apr 10, 91KB)

You can return the registration form by email, fax or post (details are on the form). 

Once we have received your form we will email you or send the instructions, route map and answer form through the post.  Please remember to bring these with you to use on the day.

How does the event work?
The idea of the event is to find the 'cycle around the world' clues along the route between Yatton and Winscombe station and record the answers on the answer form.

Participants can start at Yatton or Winscombe Station.  To get from each station, just follow the signs along the route or use the Strawberry Line Map provided.

Please note that the listed proposed route for future development on the map at Sandford is now complete, so please take this route.  The correct route is also signposted along the Strawberry Line.

What is the distance of the event?
You can start from either Yatton or Winscombe station; the route between each station is approximately seven miles one way.  You have the option of starting and finishing at the same station (14 miles) or finishing at a different station (seven miles). If you fancy a longer ride you can continue all the way to Cheddar, although the hunt clues are only between Yatton and Winscombe.  The hunt is not a race and you can start anytime between 10am and 2pm to make sure you are finished by 4pm.

What can I win?
Everyone who registers and completes the hunt by 4pm will receive a free gift and certificate.

To take part you MUST

  • Register by completing and returning the registration form  Entries close at 3pm on Friday 18 June 2010.  If you turn up on the day without registering we cannot guarantee that we will provide a free gift and certificate.
  • Bring the instructions, route map and answer form with you on the day so you can start straight away.  You will receive these once you have registered.
  • Bring a bike with you!  Walkers and joggers are welcome, however, please be aware that there will be a lot of cyclists on the route.
