Weekly 4K adventures with humour, history, and heart.Strap in for a veteran-led motorcycle adventure from Morocco back to Europe: cancelled TransMed ferry, windblown coast runs, and a lucky re-booking to Algeciras before we chase unfinished history at Badajoz. We film the British Cemetery and siege breaches, then roll north to Salamanca and a story-packed night on the Camino de Santiago—hostel tables shared with pilgrims from around the world. The finale takes us to St Nazaire and Operation Chariot—HMS Campbeltown, the Normandie dry dock, and the audacious 1942 raid—followed by a quiet salute at the CWGC cemetery before the ferry home.Expect honest military & life stories, BAOR Germany nostalgia (’70s–’10s), plus practical touring tips: border admin, ferry tactics, secure parking, wet-weather riding and kit that actually works.
