Hi Andrew...As you have suggested this idea on the forum I'd propose that forum contributors give their opinions here initially on whether this is something they would like to do...Perhaps you should start a new thread on this subject and outline your proposals further...

The 'closing' battles of the Normandy campaign took place in this area, culminating in what, for the Germans, was the disastrous and virtually complete elimination of an entire German Panzer Army which had counter attacked in an attempt to 'split' the Allied front....

Falaise and back is a good days riding from Etreham...perhaps you could provide an estimate of the total mileage so that the trip could be better assessed?...

The date for a potential trip will have to be chosen so as to dovetail in with other tour arrangements...but that shouldn't be problematical.
You will be responsible for all other aspects of planning and execution...Ian

And a good place to have a stop is Fresney-le-Puceux, where Lance Corporal Don Fife stopped on his way to Falaise at that small chapel to show his Norton, and where in 2010 we placed a commemorative plaque....

Hi Ian,

2014 will be my first trip to Normandy. I know nothing of the event nor do I have first hand knowledge the areas to be traveled. However, I have been an event producer, and am adept at functioning as a liaison. I also have much experience shepherding and directing large groups of motorcyclists. I am a fair motorbike mechanic, and I can read a map. I would be happy to assist in any way I can, should my help be needed. Please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for everything you are doing for all of us.

Mark

John your filming expertise will be invaluable. The rules for our Guinness World Record run include that the whole 2 mile parade must be filmed start to finish!!
It will be a load of my mind if I can rely on you and your crew to undertake this. Regards Ron
