Hello  to you from Beth and Roland 'Team Muddy Frog'

We are off on another adventure in 2010.   This time it is a fundraising  event for th charity Help For Heroes. http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/

Help for Heroes provides the much needed help for men and women from the armed services in their time of need . As so many give so much for us, I want to be able to give something back to them through a charity that give funds raised to programs that aid and help in the best way possible.

Beth and I will be embarking on the 19th of June on the Help for Heroes Rally .

We have been given our team Number 37, that will be on full display alongside H4H Rally logos on our pride and Joy 'Muddy Frog .  Its a 98 LandRover Discovery with a great personality. As always on our adventures we will be waving and smiling to all.  With over 40 other entrants  it will be a sight to see.  Between now and time of departure I will be  preparing Muddy Frog  so feel free to check on up dates as they come.  If you to sponsor us it would be a priviledge for us to carry your name on Muddy Frog.  All 100% of sponsorship to 'Team Muddy Frog' goes to Help For Heroes.

' Our  Adventure Begins '

 The HELP FOR HEROES EUROPEAN 4x4 RALLY 2010 follows the path and tells the story of the Allied Invasion through Europe and includes parts fabled by the Band of Brothers book and television series. As young men, who knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear, the Allied Forces landed in France early on D-Day morning – 6th June 1944. The liberation of Europe had commenced.

The event will start at Noon on Saturday 19th June 2010 at a secret location in North Wiltshire. After using byways on Salisbury Plain we will all go to Portsmouth to embark on the ferry over to France. It will be a 1650 mile/2640 km expedition encompassing 6 countries in 10 days, this non-speed event comprising a maximum of 45 teams will be part history tour, fun competition, part off-road driving and part club-type social, open to all types of 4x4 vehicles. The money raised by teams will be donated to our chosen charity, HELP FOR HEROES.

In addition to Normandy, the H4H Rally route will visit the Market Garden and Rhine offensives at Arnhem, Holland, 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.

Our route 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 routing is via the Alsace region of France and its Maginot Line fortifications, then onto Dachau and its horrors of war. We end our journey at Hitler's "impenetrable" Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden.

  Yours sincerely,  Roland Traynor .
