Where it all began!
So today was the big day! After weeks of perfecting the route and planning on how to tell the story, it had to happen! With an old friend which I know since secondary school, we embarked on a full day of Arnhem stories! He knew next to nothing so I had sent him some movie suggestions just to get a picture of what a glider and a bren look like. We started by looking at the 1944 map and plotted our own battleplan. This led to several options on which way to go. During the day, we sometimes felt like the General himself, failing routes, impossible challenges, lack of communcation leading to wrong (or none) desicion making. The weather was excellent and although it was 50kms of cycling (my own bike doesnt have any gears..), all the impressions, waypoints and stories made it as if time flies! A little perfection in timing is needed though, so up to the next one!
