Welcome to The Thee Amigos JustGiving Page

They are going to be let loose on Europe as part of the Help For Heroes
European Rally in to raise money for the Charity.
ABOUT
THE RALLY
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. It will be a 1650 mile expedition encompassing 6
countries in 10 days. This non-speed event comprising a maximum of 30+ 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.
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.
