Fundraising has never looked so interesting!
2000 miles 4x4 driving across Europe... Starting with some of the roads and byways of Salisbury Plain, an overnight ferry crossing lands you deep in the history of the D-Day invasion and the liberation of Europe in 1944-5... Pegasus Bridge (and its excellent museum)... St-Marie du Pont.... Utah Beach.... St. Mere Eglise....
The route, taking in many significant locations of great historical interest including the 'Western Front' of WWI, takes the HELP for HEROES 4x4 EUROPEAN RALLY all the way to Adolf Hitler’s Alpine retreat at Berchtesgaden in the German Bavarian Alps.
Since it was first run in 2010, the award winning HELP for HEROES 4x4 EUROPEAN RALLY has raised well over £330,000 for the charity.
The third running of the rally will start on 16th June 2012 from Littlecote House Hotel, North Wiltshire. This 2000 mile family friendly non-speed touring assembly is a meander through 6 European countries over 12 days. With a maximum of 45 teams, it is a part military history tour (including War Graves cemeteries, historic sites, museums etc) and will include some fun challenges, off-road driving (on public roads as well as private land) and social elements. It is open to road-legal 4x4 vehicles. Serving and ex-military entries are welcome, as are civilians and families.
