The Route
The Rally begins on Saturday 16th June 2012 at Littlecote House in North Wiltshire and, over the ensuing 13 days, covers around 2000 miles (3200 km) through 6 European countries, finally concluding at 'The Eagles Nest' at Berchtesgaden in Bavaria.
The 'Rally' is a 'non-speed touring assembly' with a maximum entry of 45 teams; part military history tour (including museums, cemetaries etc), part off-road driving and part club-type social - open to road-legal 4x4 vehicles peppered with navigational, physical, mechanical and vehicular challenges.

The route essentially follows that of Easy Company of the US 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne (made famous by the book and HBO mini-series 'Band of Brothers') between June 1944 & August 1945, however, those taking part are doing so for the benefit and support of our own UK servicemen and women (and their families), affected by more recent conflicts.
