I actually really like this idea. I think it's something that could be useful and, not only that, but for the many overlanders who are stuck at home busy working unable to get out on trips as regularly as they'd like it'd be a good way to still connect with the community and contribute.

As others have said, your goal is only delayed. What about Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey and into Georgia? I've done bits of this trip and the scenery and opportunity for adventure are incredible.

I was coming on here to post a question about this very topic. I'm looking to do a multi-vehicle trip from the UK to Norway later in the year and I've got a quad band Ham rig in the vehicle as well as various PMR and hand held options. According to OFCOM my UK license doesn't allow me to use...

It's a point that's interested me for a while. Other than the jealousy of "why do they get cheaper fuel than us!" For most of the countries in Europe fuel taxation has been a thing since the inception of the common use motor vehicle. The fuel taxation act of 1910 here in the UK replaced the...

About $7.14 a Gallon here this morning. That's about $163 to fill up my Land Rover. How about you throw some of that dirt cheap fuel this way?

Hi All, I'm planning on doing a relatively large multiple country trip across Europe at the end of next year. It's going to involve a few people from different ends of the country, need quite a bit of planning and lots of communication. How are people finding it's best to put together a route...

Hi Arno, Sorry for the slow reply. It certainly isn't easy to go entirely off grid for more than a few hours travelling in the UK. As others have said the plain can be done with some smaller camping options. The best way I've found is by combining a few scenic routes on tarmac, decent campsites...

Looks like a great platform, what are your plans for things to go in there? Does it need to support a tent or is it just for cooking and equipment storage etc? The main bulk of the issue is planning out what needs to go in there and making it fit. If you know the exact items it'll be far easier...

Personally I'd like to recommend TP-Link equipment. I find the longevity, ease of use and robustness second to none. However looking around it seems the stuff we get here in the UK isn't as available over there due to deals tied in with the carriers. One of the best all round hotspots though is...

I'll go with what the others say, perhaps find a few friends with the different brands and try them if possible? The top 3 are all as good as each other, I also a TYT unit which is about 1/3rd the price of any of my Yaesu stuff and does exactly the same job, the only compromise I'd say is in the...

Perhaps not a particular beach in itself but I highly recommend going a little bit toward the lesser traveled and doing the South West of Scotland. The bay around Loch Ryan at Stranraer is excellent, indeed the whole drive up that coast to Ayr is very much underappreciated in my eyes. Start...

Now that's a gorgeous cutting board. Fantastic attention to detail

Looks fantastic, I really love those wheels.

If we need something in the South East then I'm sure I can sort something in Sussex especially but Kent / Surrey area too without too much hassle, all of the 4x4 Response groups around here have access to some areas which are suitable for vehicle gatherings, camping, and possibly some light off...

Rather at the extreme of things I have several locations here in the South East that we could use or, similarly out of the way, I have a friend in Stranraer who owns a camp site that would be more than welcoming. They are rather both at Two extreme ends of the spectrum, although Stranraer may...

Hi All, Do we have many Overlanders who use their rigs to help their communities? I'm a Trustee and Ops Team member for a local 4x4 Response group that uses our vehicles to help the emergency services in bad weather or times of major incident. Last Week was one of our biggest yearly exercises...

I rather like that one with the bridge and stream.

Hi All, Let's say you're planning a trip that lasts a couple of weeks, the weather is likely to be not great and you know you're going to get soaked on a few occasions. What do you do, assuming no campfire at night, to dry those clothes? Currently I just string a line between one side of...

HUGE Cooper fan here, currently running LTZ Zeons and have been for about 3 years, put about 25k on them and they still have great tread. Would love to go cooper again but recently have been finding myself drawn to looking at other brands, the sidewalls of all the Coopers are degrading fast...

Sounds like a great idea to me, a whole bunch of "live" movies created at the same time across the different nations stitched together into one big OB video would be quite an impact!
