Title: Left Luggage
Post by: BerlinMatt on 05 December, 2022, 07:46:06 pm

Is there somewhere to leave a bag at the start, and has anyone used this service in the past?
Cheers

There was left-luggage in 2015 - I was glad of a shower and change of clothes as I wasn't going to my hotel until later that day. Last time at Rammers, as on pre-2015 St Quentin editions I'm guessing there must have been, but as I was pitched on a near(ish) campsite, I didn't need it.

I didn't use it in 2019 but it was definitely there, in a round building by the finish line.

Article 6 of the 2023 rules says left luggage is included in your entry fee.

Yes, I used it in 2019. Just left a drop bag sized bag there and it worked well and efficiently

Lovely stuff! In 2019 i pitched a tent behind where the campervans were parked at the start and chucked my stuff in there. It was still there when I got back but it was less than ideal...

In 2019 at least the left luggage room was staffed and bags were tagged with rider numbers, so reasonably secure and a step up on LEL’s free-for-all room.
