I've reached out in a few local 4x4 groups to see if they can suggest anywhere. Hopefully i will be able to come back with good news

Planning an international overland expedition involves careful consideration of many factors to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey. When planning our trips across Europe, North Africa, Scandinavia and the Silk Road / Pamir Highway to Mongolia we followed these steps and through thorough...

Thanks Rick for responding and yes you do have some valid points. I could contact iOverlander for a database of POI's to add to the map. But I don't want that! What I wanted are OB Member reviewed POI's on the OB map. FYI I do have a database of iOverlander POI's if I had wanted to go down that...

This is a very important subject often overlooked so don't let my photo take away the importance. Overlanding, camper vanning etc has exploded in popularity and where once only occasional visitor visited an area you could use the trowel and hole method but the numbers now visiting these areas...

Bjoern, agreed the note regarding wild camping rules should be prominent on the APP as this is a minefield of rules, rumours, grey areas and in some cases abuse. However as you say there are grey areas where the rules don't quite cover all scenarios. A good example as you state above is no...

I will be in the Alps in July but please keep me updated on your trip and we can try to arrange a get together. Also if you need any help withnplanning etc please ask.

I think suitability for a Roof Tent comes from someone who uses a Roof Tent. Here in the UK laws can affect where you can use a Roof Tent. For example sleeping in a van in a layby is acceptable and if in a car you can park and walk away with your ground tent to camp away from the layby as...

Hi Bjoern, The tie in with iOverlander was as a starting point as it is a database that already exists and would allow local members to go out locally and to target and review the iOverlander POI's to see if they are suitable and up to date for the OB App. If they are then add them to the App...

Hi Alex, I thought I had replied to you but for some reason it must not have loaded or sent correctly. Exactly what you are saying, this doesn't need to be an organised meet up or Rally Point or a long term trip away. Members sitting at home planning or dreaming of their next trip can take a...

Hi Mark, The whole point is to make the OB App a better app for the members. Updating iOverlander I will leave up to the individual themselves. In my case its something I won't do simply because it can and does lead to overuse of an area. I have seen it with some locations I have added in the...

Unfortunately I will have just returned from a week off work and away up in the HIghlands so it will be a stretch unless I can wiggle some work things and arrive just for the Saturday. I will keep an eye on it a try to make an appearance.

Let me begin by expressing my appreciation for iOverlander. We've relied heavily on it during our travels, particularly outside of the UK and Europe, where finding spots for wild camping or parking isn't as challenging due to the more relaxed relationship between locals and travellers. Many...

Rally Point has been created for the end of April when hopefully the weather is more conducive to sitting outside with a fire. We will be using Google Meets and I will set up the invite nearer the time once I have feedback.

Brill i will post an RP in due course.

Hi @Michael @Kent R @Jim SoG Not sure if it has been covered but would it be possible to extend the same discounts to Armed Forces, Veterans and First Responders out with the USA. In the UK veterans can now be issued with government ID recognising they are Military Veterans. First Responders...

Through lock down we had a few fire side video chats that were quite successful with even Michael and Corrie jumping in one of the calls and as our member numbers here have grown since then and as we are getting closer to warmer weather I wondered if anyone would be interested in doing some...
