In September Adam and Sarah Wright, myself and Debbie Balding after years of planning finally set off to Monte Cassino with our Jeeps. Both Sarah and I had grandfathers that fought in the 5 months of Monte Cassino battles, and visiting the area with our trucks has been on the bucket list for a long long time.

Having been awarded Talulah the dancing Hula girl toy by Brian at the MVT Elvington event in August, we promised to take her with us and make sure she was featured in the report.
The trip involved 5000km, 5 countries, 12 pizzas and 3000 mosquito bites.

The highlights were getting the Jeeps up the mountain and with a lot of prep work, getting permission to ride the tracks on the Messa (mountain plateau) to visit key points of the mountain top battles.

We also did some alps runs in the Jeeps and managed to get smoking brakes on more than one occasion.
