Anyone out there building a VW Transporter as their overland vehicle. We are in the process of outfitting a VW 4motion Transporter for our future overland trips replacing our work horse Land Rover Defender. We accept we are trading some off road capability for comfort but based on our previous...

Some know him as Stephen Waddell or Caspoint220 and from early on he has been leading the charge for Overland Bound and it’s members. Continually leading by example whether that be arranging Trail Guardian events, pick up and delivery services or Toffee Vodka drinking. Well now he has stepped...

During the lockdown we had some good virtual campfires and although interest dwindled for a weekly virtual meet and life got in the way I still think it was a success with new members joining in to say hi. I think there is still an argument for a monthly virtual meet to give new members a...

MH and Andy have sadly due to Corona had to end their South Africa to London Trip and are now shipping their Land Rover Defender back to the UK from Durban. They are looking for anyone in the same situation who would like to share a container and the costs. This could be another vehicle in a...

So as the lockdown has eased a little more we have managed to combine a trip away in our camper and a visit to see some of our grandkids for the first time in months. It’s not a great adventure but for us it’s another little step back to normality.

Hi Viz for OB members. Thanks to Duncan and Billy of VIA for help. If you can let me know your thoughts and interest I’ll get something sorted. The Trail Guardian ones I’m looking at getting a central stash that can be sent out to Trail Guardian organisers and then returned on completion, you...

Following on from @caspoint220’s Facebook poll about hi viz vests for OB Trail Guardian events. I think we have all seen the shocking pictures of all rubbish left behind by shameless idiots as the lockdown has eased so I’m pretty sure we all have local areas we can clean up even as part of our...
