    Few pics from scotland. Bizarrely, non of my Land rover. We had just had our dog and so our focus was on her, including getting her used to us and the kids. Plus taking her out for lots of walks to the beach and into the mountains. As for shows. I can do the overland show in warwick...

    Definitely a fetish for cold places. Storm boris hit when we were in Scotland for xmas and storm Doris has just passed us by. Cold and wet, but still beautiful. Have some pics which will upload when I get home. We picked up a 10 month old St Bernard bitch called noodles on the Thursday...

    I know, but any fool can be cold. I was toasty. But when I sent that photo to my wife she replied with have I joined Isis? Cheeky moose. Also forgot to add, I recorded the gps route that we drove, so if anyone wants some of the lanes in the Peak District, then let me know. I use motion x...

    Hi Rob, Very funny story and difficult for the poor chap to respond to. Whilst the wife's logic is sound, it is second nature for us to continue to tweak the vehicle setup in order to make it a better vehicle overall and one which they will ultimately have a bit more luxury in. A difficult...

    Quick follow up. Had my MOT check today and it failed. MOT in the UK is a check which all cars over 4 years old have to undertake in order to prove that they are fit for driving on UK roads, i.e. they are not going to cause major crashes with being unfit to drive. I tend to find that my bill...

    Yep that happened to me as well. I kept meaning to email corrie and Mike to let them know that the customs charge was being hiked, something like 8 or 12 pounds being added by customs to handle the charge which is passed on to royal mail. Then I think royal mail added more on top. I think...

    Overland trip this autumn in Norway(Movie)

    @Joey83 let me know when you fancy a trip to the UK. Would be nice to meet other members and take in some of the beauty that the UK has to offer. Yorkshire and Northumberland are great destinations and I guess you would come into Hull via ferry (assuming you bring your rig). If you fancy a...
