Story

The event will start at Noon on Saturday 19th June 2010 in Wiltshire. It will be a 1650 mile expedition encompassing 6 countries in 10 days. 

After using byways on Salisbury Plain we will all go to Portsmouth to embark on the ferry over to France. In addition to Normandy, the H4H Rally route will visit the Market Garden and Rhine offensives at , , where on 17 September 1944, in the largest airborne operation ever seen thousands of paratroopers descended from the sky by parachute or glider up to 150 km behind enemy lines.

The route then moves south, to Bastogne in Belgium where, in the coldest winter for decades, the Germans made a final push – 'the Battle of the Bulge'. Towards Germany, the rally path then visits a Maginot Line fortification in Alsace, France, then into Germany and Dachau with its horrors of war.

We end our journey at Hitler's "impenetrable" Eagle's Nest at on 29th June 2010
