The idea of the rally was to arrive in Casino Square, Monte Carlo and en route, we’d be set a series of challenges, both skill and time-based. We’d also get to see some of the rally related sights along the way.

One of the first stops was where I’m taking you now. The Reims Racing circuit. Opened in 1926 and closed in 1972, the Formula One French Grand Prix was held here many times between 1950 and 1966.

To get to our next unmissable stop on Anglesey, you’ll need to keep your eye on the tide times…

St Cwyfan’s church is also popularly known as the “Little Church in the Sea” and for good reason. St Cwyfans sits on a tidal island, so at high tide, it’s just out there, in the sea, only accessible by boat. But at low tide, you can walk to it over a rocky causeway, sit on a bench against the lime washed walls and soak in the sea views.

At one point, St Cwyfan’s was attached to the mainland, but over the centuries, the little church and the land it stood on got separated through erosion, to become the island it is today.

In 2003, singer, Andre 3000 and OutKast asked the question, “What’s cooler than being cool?” And today I’m asking you “What’s more secret than ‘Most Secret’?”

No, it’s not Top Secret, it’s actually Ultra Secret. A phrase commissioned during the Second World War for a facility that’s activities were so secret, so important to global wartime intelligence, that even married couples didn’t find out for decades that they’d both worked in the same facility… true story. It wasn’t until the mid 1970’s that the work of the men and women of Bletchley Park was finally publicly revealed.

What’s in Louisville (pronounced Loo-uh-vil) you may ask? Riverside parks, humongous bridges, a cosmopolitan cityscape and museums to sate any taste.

I was particularly looking forward to visiting two museums. As a baseball fan, I had to visit the Louisville Slugger museum and factory. The very place they make the iconic bats used by professional and amateurs alike.

When I was born, “The Wall” was already 10 years old. As I sat drinking coffee in a Berlin cafe, it was almost surreal to imagine that during my lifetime The Berlin Wall had existed, been lethally enforced and had tumbled, reuniting two halves of one of the most interesting, vibrant and progressive cities in Europe.
