HELP FOR HEROES 4x4 EUROPEAN RALLY - June 19th-29th 2010 (http://www.h4hrally.co.uk)

The HELP FOR HEROES 4x4 EUROPEAN RALLY 2010 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 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 (http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk).

The HELP FOR HEROES 4x4 EUROPEAN 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.

Apart from the offroad bit at the start and possible bit at the end, is there off-road action during the rally (i.e. to get to some of the sites) or is it predominantly about the history and the 4x4 bit's a token thing :?:

My dad's always wanted to do the battlefields of europe and i quite like my WWII history so could be quite interesting to do...

Forgot to say re: rough roads - just as one example, on the first day we will be driving through Salisbury Plain

Well its not badly priced. Was looking for the prices before but hadn't thought to look at the app form, doh.

Well when the old man gets back from his hol i'll ask him and see if he can be convinced

We have just launched a new banners

do we think the standard frontera could do this?.i do like the sound of this and i am oh so tempted

but what do we reacon the total cost will be as this would come out of my pocket? rought ball park figure.

horses45 - you have PM

well my other half says it's ok so

I'm sorted Half

Well my old man got back from hols yesterday so i'll give him a shout a see if he fancies doing this. I have a suss feeling that as soon as i mention the word "tent" he won't be so keen :lol:

Just a quick update - due to places started to fill up, and also having an immense amount of interest in the H4H 4x4 Rally, we are happy to announce that we are upping the limit of entrants to 40 vehicles/teams (entrants after that will go on to a reserve list). Please remember that the places available are based on a 'first come, first served' basis

does it need 2 drivers or can it be only 1 as feels like im billy no mates at the min? + just re read the FAQ and find i do need another driver

Well i've spoken to the old man and he likes the sound of it. As i suspected he doesn't like the idea of camping so unless there's alternate hotel or b&b etc accommodation available then he's not up for it

Oh no, you'll have to try and persuade him

The camping aspect of it makes it more fun (baring in mind there will be about 80-85 people on the Rally:) )

well for me to join in this, witch i would love to, but and its a big but, i would have to find around £1.650, that's taken in the entrance fee, ferry crossing, fuel and food, and then i would have to raise a further minimal £200 for charity, wow this is a bit out of my league, but good luck to all,

as andysd1 says £1650 then £200 sponsor is a bit too much for 1 person to pull out in these times so looks like it's not for me cant justify paying entreace fee with no co driver then not being able to get on gutted but nothing you can do as people have bills and other commitments at home so good luck to all that take place :cry:
