Welcome to "by Jeep To Freedom" ride. I have been part of the Fatboys now for 5 years and have ridden far and wide around the world with them. Follow us on our journey through Europe, retracing the war time experiences of my late father Woolf Blint, of the 6th Commando unit as told in his book "By Jeep To Freedom".

.......continued
Cont......... Arriving at the train station , Nigel promptly bought the tickets and announced that we had three trains to connect us to Brno . first in 8 minutes, connection in 4 minutes , next 2 minutes!!!! If it can be done , we can do it! And bloody hell do it we did!! Finding the correct platforms and running/ riding flat out , up and down stairs ,it was a blur but we rolled into Brno & congratulated Nigel to the max. Just out of Brno is where dad found his abandoned jeep, the one that took him all the way to Reims . It was German, so he removed the I.D. This is also where he used it to extract a man from a work/ concentration camp as a favor to someone he met in Brno............ More to come. .Ron

Love the visual image of you all racing to get these trains. Its a major feat in itself finding the platforms of strange train stations and jumping on just in time! Very impressive!!
