SUMMARY:D-Day Beaches Revisited
DESCRIPTION:Last October Trevor Bass’s talk covered his three-man cycle ride from Farnham to visit the D-Day beaches of Sword\, Gold\, Juno and Omaha in 2024. In August last year he and his friends cycled to the other famous beach – Utah. This (an American beach) was planned later than the others and was seen as vital if the invasion of Normandy was to be successful – securing the Cotentin peninsular and capturing the important port of Cherbourg. \nTrevor and his fellow cyclists were in France for three days\, arriving in Cherbourg and staying two nights in Carentan\, visiting memorials\, museums and scenes of conflict\, including the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc\, the famous church at St Mère Église\, the main German cemetery and a V1 launch ramp. There were also links to films such as The Dirty Dozen\, The Longest Day and The Band of Brothers. The first part of Trevor’s talk was excellent so do join us for the second part of his tour.
