I really like Viewranger - it's a great app designed for all sorts of adventurous activities. Lots of maps and satellite imagery available of varying detail and downloadable for offline use. Some free and some paid for. Full UK OS mapping at 1:25k is about £25 a year. Also has a tracker...

Sorry I can't make it this time, just not had the time to get the new engine running... Have a great weekend everyone!

Yes, changing the engine myself but had the rebuild done by ACR Automotive. Looks like a good engine - time will tell if it's as good as the original. Have responded to the rally point, I think..?

Looking forward to it! Forest drives look like great fun. I pulled the engine for a rebuild this weekend so attendance dependent upon getting the new block installed in time. Nothing like a deadline...

I've seen a few Defenders here in the UK painted in tinted U-POL Raptor. Looked really good and apparently tough as old boots! This one at a national Land Rover gathering: Am about to repaint mine and dithering over whether to do the same, seems like once you've done it there's no going...

Similar to most, we use a combination of head-torches, Coleman Dual-Fuel lantern, mini gas lantern and a couple of rechargeable led workshop lamps with mag mounts. Planning to fit an LED strip to the awning (anyone done this, is it worthwhile?) and some LED floods of the roof rack. Have to...

Some nice ideas here. Wish I'd have asked the same question years ago! I used a DIY awning for about 4 years until I finally invested in an ARB. I'll post some images tomorrow and an explanation in case the concept is useful to anyone. Basically like a giant roller blind made from drain...

Sounds promising! I've got a 110, never ending project but keeps me out of trouble [emoji6] Sent from my Moto G (5) using OB Talk mobile app

Welcome to the forum Mr E! A Northern run sounds good to me, I'm based in the Lakes just a few miles from the traditional C2C route. Been discussing the green lanes C2C over the past few weeks too and it all looks pretty good. Unfortunately my gearbox and rear diff are out for rebuild and...

Unfortunately I haven't managed to get to my PC tonight but I did have a bash on MS Paint :dizzy: at work. I think I could work up a more stylised version ( greater contrast between the mountains/lake/coast/forest/fields) with a different colour palette but it's a start. Looking at the other...

I'm really into the Orland Stove at the moment. Getting both heat and light from the stove is a real winner. I guess the glass could be a weak point but it does come in a decent box, not sure if the flue fits in too. Also has the advantage of a decent rear-exit flue with double-wall section...

To me, this feels like the right approach. When you look at the existing patches they manage to represent significant geographical areas without referencing administrative or political boundaries. It makes sense really when you consider that Overlanding is what has brought us together. Could...

It's a great event Nickburt, fingers crossed we'll see you there!

Don't forget to follow the Rally Point link to let us know if you can (even maybe) make it https://www.overlandbound.com/event/adventure-overland-spring-show-2018/ Look forward to meeting more OB members soon! Sent from my Moto G (5) using OB Talk mobile app
