Real military & life stories from British veterans: rugby, skiing/Telemark, classic motorcycles, sailing, and BAOR Germany (’70s–’10s)—told with humour, history, and heart. Expect 4K adventures, restorations, and behind-the-scenes banter.

Strap in for a veteran’s blend of military and life stories—from the British Telemark Championships to a soul-stirring Dolomites tour and the launch of our next motorcycle adventure. We road-trip in the X5 loaded with classic skis (cable boots and all), then hit ten days of Telemark racing: Classic, Sprint and the crowd-favourite Parallel Sprint (photo finish!), plus the brutal Mountain Race Relay. Vinka & Marlin chase podiums, the “boys” hold solid mid-table, and the oldest team on the hill still finds the steps—proof that experience and grit count.

Recovery equals paradise in Corvara in Badia: Sella Ronda laps, the magical Hidden Valley horse-tow, and alpine après worthy of a medals parade. Then we swap ski edges for throttles: winter testing in Spain with Ducati 1199/1098/899/749, MV Agusta, and Manx Norton—full drone and 360° action-cam coverage, paddock camaraderie, tyre-shredding laps, and a surprise BSB paddock invite. Finally, we kit up the Multistradas, roll onto the Portsmouth → Santander ferry, and kick off our Morocco overland series—mountains, desert pistes, souks, and veteran banter captured in cinematic 4K.

Real military & life stories told by British veterans: regimental rugby legends, the Ace Café Reunion ride to Brighton, Festival of Remembrance & Cenotaph March Past, plus family Christmas, New Year, and fresh ski kit for 2019. Expect classic motorcycles, BAOR nostalgia, humour, and heart.

Step into a packed episode of military and life stories: we kick off at the regimental Gathering—rugby heroes reunited (Tim, Stephen, Johan) and a pledge to sponsor next year’s fixture—then fire up the classics for the Ace Café Reunion ride to Brighton (Triumph Thunderbird, Bonneville, BSA A10, Norton Commando, Rocker leathers and roaring engines). From there, it’s a solemn, proud Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall and the Cenotaph March Past, medals polished, wreath laid, and old comrades shoulder-to-shoulder.

Back at The Old Manor House, Christmas lands with full force: family, laughter, turkey tactics, and Boxing Day on the beach—before a sparkling New Year’s Eve in the Salamanca Club. We wrap with a kit upgrade for the winter ahead: brand-new NTN Telemark skis and boots ready for 2019.

If you love real veteran stories, BAOR Germany nostalgia (’70s–’10s), regimental rugby, classic motorcycles, Ace Café culture, Remembrance traditions, family Christmas, and skiing, this one’s for you. Shot in cinematic 4K with behind-the-scenes banter from Tom, Jimmy & Mary.

Join us for a cracking chapter of military and life stories: a Hallberg-Rassy run to Jersey, dinner at Government House with the Lieutenant-Governor, dolphins off the bow, and a precision dash through the Alderney Race before tying up in Plymouth for a top-table night at Stonehouse Barracks Sergeants’ Mess. Back home, we celebrate a huge milestone—our 100,000 subscribers Silver Play Button—then flip the switch to race mode with a full CRMC weekend: MV Agusta, Manx Norton, and RG mayhem, silverware won, and garage banter in spades.

You’ll get cinematic 4K sailing and racing, behind-the-scenes editing chaos with Tom, Jimmy & Mary, and a front-row pass to the Hornet Services Sailing Club reopening with HRH The Princess Royal, Princess Anne. It’s the best of veteran life: tradition, camaraderie, proper humour—and purposeful travel from quay to paddock.
