Join me on the first leg of a new series (or not) exploring local war history, starting in one of the most iconic story's of WWII

In this episode, I ride to local area on the river Tamar that once echoed with the sounds of troops loading up on landing craft in preparation for theD-Day landing.

Whether you're a history buff, a biker, or just love discovering the past in the present, this journey offers a personal look at the legacy of WWII — right from the saddle.
