Change in circumstances for us. With Angela recovering from surgery on our Mongolia Trip we will be in the U.K. for the foreseeable future. With that in mind I start a new job on Monday which means predominantly travelling throughout the U.K. but Scotland initially spending up to a couple of...

Hey Keith your post has brought up a subject I have been thinking about. I know the forum has a buy sell swap section but I would l8ke to see it done in regions. When I look at it I have to traipse through hundreds of items for sale in the USA only to find nothing available in my region. By...

In the past 3 years we have put a few miles under our belts and worn out a few sets of tyres and our vehicle has evolved. This is our more significant trips with the Cyprus and Scottish trips included as they were the shakedowns for the following big trips and after major changes to our set up...

Medical Insurance is not cheap and good medical insurance is expensive so the urge to save is very strong. But before you do decided to streamline your cover take a lesson from our experience on our Mongolia Raid 2018 trip. There are many cheaper polices out there offering A1 cover at a lower...

Let me start by saying Michael, Corrie and all the team have done a great job getting all us like minded people all together and created an outstanding community. It is no mean feat to get over 10K people to sign up and support each other in the pursuit of heading out into the wilds in our...

Learn a lesson from our experience. Prior to leaving on our extended overland trip last year we were given a lot of warnings about the countries we were going to be visiting, specifically Turkey, Albania,Eastern European Countries and the Balkan States. With this ringing in our ears we checked...

Prior to our Big Trip 2017 which was our longest and most challenging trip to date we poured through previous Overlanders websites and social media to try and get a feel for how much it would cost us to live on the road. There are lots of planning variables when it comes to trips, from...

Is anyone else having a problem with the Overlandbound app. When I open the app it initially asks me to log in and if I add my password I am told there is a problem with the forum and to contact admin. If instead of logging in I select cancel it seems I am logged in but I do not appear to get...

This is Kostas (#OB5582 Mrice) helping us out on our #thebigtrip2017 in Thessaloniki Greece. We had a worsening coolant leak that Kostas diagnosed to the head gasket. We left the Land Rover with him and his colleague Tolis and less than 48 hours later we had it back. And his dog stood guard...
