Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
We are all seeing the constant headlines about the Omicron Variant now surging in the UK so it seems an opportune moment to remind everyone to be aware of the rules within your regions and to take sensible precautions to protect yourself and other overlanders.
As many know we have a New Years...
So as everyone started to see the vaccines as light at the end of the covid tunnel and started to look at longer overland travel here we are once again witnessing a new strain, Omicron, that is beating vaccines and once again leading to closed borders and tighter restrictions.
Here in Europe...
In recent weeks we have had a few discussions amongst the Representatives and some members around the idea of having our very own Overland Show next year in 2022.
The idea has got some merit and garnered positive responses from members who have heard about the possibility. So if there is the...
So it’s coming up to Christmas, the trees and decorations are out and my inner Grinch is in over drive.
However I am continually asked by the kids, grandkids and Angela what I want for Christmas presents.
To be fair I don’t need much and when I do I usually just buy it as I can’t be bothered...
So winter has arrived and for many this seems to be the time when camping stops and staying at home is the order of the day.
But it doesn't need to be. We head out throughout the year, always have done and with a little extra preparation there is no reason why a winter trip cant be great fun...

A chance to join up with other OB Region Members to experience the biggest 4x4 / Overlanding show certainly in Europe and possibly the world.

A major international outdoor show featuring all forms of 'alternative travel', it brings together people who love exploring the great outdoors their way.
For those new to Overlanding its a great opportunity to see the different styles and get to try them out.

A Sad Truth And Loss Of Freedoms!
None of us can fail to recognise the pandemic that has been affecting the world, locking us down, stifling our freedoms and irreparably changing our lives possibly for ever. The world is a different place to what it was only 20 months ago.
As Overlander’s we...

Following on from a members comment on the Regional WhatsApp group that it was good to see lots of new members, and because I have seen quite a few comments recently on FB Groups where the commentor mentions they are OB members. I realised I did not recognise them nor heard or talked to them so...
Never be in so much of a rush to get away that you miss the beauty on your doorstep.
We had a free night so jumped at the chance for a cheeky wee overnight explore of Royal Deeside.
Great weather, stunning scenery and all on our doorstep.
Bumped into fellow Overland Bound member Marcus who...
Having just returned from the Adventure Overland Show I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the members that came to camp, visit and say hello.

I see many threads on builds where people are using the standard, Pick Up, LR Defender, Land Cruiser etc but how many are using a van as a base to build into their overland vehicle.
