This weekend we will set off to attend the Abentuer Allrad in Bad Kissingen, Germany (https://www.abenteuer-allrad.de/en/) so our Landy has been getting final preps and packing.
Today completed:-
New stickers added ✅
Refitted the dash and tested radio / switches ✅
Fluids checked and topped up ✅
Tyres pressures checked ✅
Engine bay checked ✅
Underbody checked ✅
Water tank sterilised ✅
Old Cypriot registration mounted ✅
Overland Bound merch packed ✅
Fridge on beer chilling ✅
Still more to complete and as always there will no doubt be a mad rush at the end.
This is Angela's first longer trip since her emergency surgery in Uzbekistan on our Mongolia Raid Trip last year so the plan is to take things easy and enjoy the journey.
Our rough route will see us driving first to Newcastle to catch an overnight ferry to Ijmuiden then spend a day or two visiting Amsterdam before heading to Abentuer Allrad.
Once we leave the show we will try to do a bit of exploring in Lichtenstein, Switzerland and France on the way back. A ferry to the south of England and then visit family near Yeovil.
Just under 3000 miles all in.
Hopefully the weather will be good to us and we will see some of you there.
New Stickers Added
We started our first big overland trip in 2017 on Cyprus plates so in honour our Cyprus Registration is now mounted to retain originality.
Tent Annexe, Frontier Stove and Spare Wheel Bag Mounted
OB merchandise packed to spread the word.
Planned route visiting Netherlands, Germany, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and France.
