EU Mid Europe Planning and leading a trip with fellow overlanders

  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

We have some members in Europe who are also active and do some trips and other overlanding related activities. This year we have already done quite a bit together in smaller groups and it would be nice if there were more joint activities.

Believe me, it is not difficult at all to plan and carry out something like that. And OB also gives us a great feature for that: Rally Points.

I thought we would just make a call on this topic and I will show you how easy it is. Maybe we can also exchange ideas for joint tours.

Let's see how great the interest is. I am looking forward to a lively participation.

We will use the known Skype link Join conversation (Virtual OB Europe Campfire).

Great call. Only wish we could get more folks on calls like these.
Getting people to post and lead their FIRST rally point is difficult, but then it is easier to get the second.

Yes, that was a good call! Thanks to those who were there. And thanks to @Sandpoint Steve for your support and for joining us. Was nice talking to you.

And, folks, it's really easy to plan and do a tritp together with other members. You don't need much to do it. Decide where to go, gather the necessary information, pick a date, then make a Rally Point to let other members know what you plan to do. So and then do some good preparation to make it a safe trip for everyone and then you're off.
