On tour with the SAS - more <here>.
Unlike the American Rangers on D-Day,we arrived at Pointe du Hoc in the 'Battle Bus' via a safe -if somewhat dreary road -having parked up there was a lengthy walk to the battlefield.
The first thing that you notice is the moonscape features of the ground, pounded to pieces on D-Day and before by allied bombers and support vessels, a wonder anyone of anything could survive.
Seeing the cliffs climbed by the Rangers puts their efforts into perspective, an incredible feat of bravery.
