Bought my tickets! Can't wait to attend again after being unable to make it last year. :D

We should have space at the venue if folks want to do an OB corral! We've done that at the NW event in Washington before, and it's been pretty popular. No added costs, but I need to know how many trucks so we can ensure a big enough space is set aside.

That would be awesome. I would be down for that if there's enough interest.

You'll be pleasantly surprised. When I was there in 2019 there was quite a sizeable contingent of Defender 110's - there's a LandRover club in the lower mainland of BC that comes almost every year. The UK plate might not even be unique to yours, however I'm betting the other guys also have BC plates lol Gotta find the one with JUST a UK tag.

@landyandy4x4 @CR-Venturer Yup there are a whack of us land rover guys in BC, not sure how many you will see this year from the BC Roverlander's, but there are usually a few.

You can check out the Club if you are interested The Rover-Landers of BC - Index page

I think I will probably bring three of my Rovers, my D90, D110, and RRC.

At NWOR we had about 25 OB members all camped together, it was a great turnout.

I'm also thinking of making a rover-area if there is interest, to celebrate 75 years of Land Rover. We could put the zones beside each other if there is overlap.

Question: I'm hoping it's okay to bring a guest to the OB area; I have a very good friend who's coming to the Rally whom I haven't seen in about four years, so I really want to camp beside him. I figured him being around the OB people would be a great enticement to join our organization, since we have such a great community here.

Sounds good to me!

With BCOR fast approaching, I'm starting to get my kit all sorted and double checked this week, and I wanted to let everyone know I will be rolling with the CB tuned to Channel 16 and the VHF on LADD 1 all the way from home to BCOR. Feel free to hail me if you see Rumble and me cruising down the highway on your way to the event!

See everyone there!

This link is still showing the old NWOR schedule. Is there going to be a new one, or will BCOR be following this one?

It is showing me the new one now, maybe you need to refresh the page? Could your browser be showing you the cached version?

Weird, this time when I clicked it, it's showing the updated BCOR schedule. The previous two times, it was showing NWOR.

Ah well, all good now! Excitement escalates :D
