New to the forum but not new the overlanding. In high-school used to go into the woods in our trucks and camp. Done trips on my bike, colorado and most recently my Raptor that I built. Definitely experienced.

Sold the bike and colorado but my rig now is my 2010 Raptor. From PA but moved to Boise, ID to he closer to outdoor lifestyle.

Hi all, another newcomer!
Im Tony, done a bit of off road over the years, but 'overlanding' is a new thing to me.
I've a lot to get sorted first, but the plan, as it stands is UK-Morocco in my 1974 88" Series 3 Landrover , staying Off-Road as much as I can.
Currently this isn't much more than an idea, but working on changing that.
Anyway enough waffle from me, here's a photo of the truck from a few years back.

Hi Tony,

Welcome to Overland Bound! Great Landy!

I am one of the OB Ambassadors in Europe. @Polaris Overland is based in the UK and he could point you towards the nearest Local Expert to you.. Please do not hesitate to contact him or me for questions regarding Overland Bound, and the App or information regarding overlanding.

Local information for any of the OB regions can also be found in the Overland Bound by region forum. Each region has its own sub-forum. UK, for example, belong to the region Western Europe. So, this link leads to the West Europe subforum. Feel free to introduce yourself to your local area here. Regarding your trip you might also find useful information at the OB Map.

Please take a look at the Rally Points for planned events. There you can filter by region. There are plenty of meetups planned for 2025 for Europe already and more to come.

We also do a virtual campfire once a month, there are always members from many regions of Europe. Will schedule the next one soon. This is a relaxed online talk about overlanding, trip plans, gear, everyday life and more with like-minded people. Just join us next time if you like.

If you have any other questions just ask, please. Always happy to help.

Safe travels,

Bjoern
