Sadly I think Overlanding has ceased to exist almost worldwide due to Covid-19 and many of us are feeling imprisoned. I personally find living at home really difficult since our 2 years on the road and not being able to even escape at the weekends has just intensified the feelings.
Restrictions are easing but sadly at different rates through the home nations which make this more difficult for some but I think we will all need to think carefully about events and meets we are willing to attend. Some members have expressed that big group meets are not for them for the time being where as others are happy to go to shows so everyone needs to look at their own situation and risk factors to make the decision.
But support from OB will be there as long as you are following local government guidelines whether it is a 2 or 20 vehicle meet to something like the Late Adventure Overland Show and all members are equally important.
So what ever trips anyone is planning let me know how I can support you and please share your trips so other members can see what you have been up to. Our membership is still growing here in the UK specifically and I'm happy to see more and more members being active within our forums etc.
Stay safe everyone and here's looking to getting back to overlanding normality.

Well said - we're so looking forward to meeting up with people again once this Coronavirus madness and sadness is over (or at least manageable and safe for everyone). It'll be really nice to get out and about and start exploring and touring again.

Hi, only just set the app up, I'm in Nottinghamshire currently 4x4less but I'm looking for another disco 1.
Would be good to go out on a drive once we're allowed. Bloody covid making it difficult for everyone
