Hi there peeps,

Just thought Id give a wave here after waving in the ‘New Member section’.

I’m a South African living in Portsmouth getting more involved in the overland scene, i have been lurking for some time and watching one to many overland you tube series and have now committed to getting more involved with the purchase if my ‘Bakkie’ (aka Pickup Truck).

Its a 2016 Ranger Wildtrak, 12K miles in the clock so a low miler which is one thing I really want to change haha!

Currently i am out camping near Corfe Castel with my Family in my father in-laws camper van but hopefully we can change that soon!

Thanks for the welcomes!
We just returned ‘camper vanning’ and am happy to report my 3yo loves it which is great I’ m already planning the next trip [emoji16]

Ill head over to FB and find the OB fb group [emoji2]
Hiya Jake, welcome on board. We’re vanning too now, the comfort of a permanent bed has won us away from demountable camping. Hope our trails will cross one day!
