Overlanders in Norfolk area??

(1/2) > >>

Hi,
I am wondering if there is anyone out there with an interest in Overlanding who lives around the Norfolk area?

Even though I have driven Land Rovers all my life, I am only now getting the interest in using my 110 CSW for Overland trips. I am in the process of kitting it out and have had very useful info from another forum, but would be keen to hear from anyone local to me with same interest, so I can grab ideas and advice over a pint.
We have done Norway and had a little trip to France and Belgium. In 2008 we are booked for Morocco, and are looking at other areas to go.
I travel a lot for work but since kids and a wife have appeared, the travel bug has extended to the rest of the family!

Cheers,
Scott.

Hi Scott,
I've recently been bitten by the overland bug too, although mine are just pipe dreams at present as finances don't allow it at present  :(
I'm assuming the other forum you've been on is The Hubb?

I've found reading some of the many journals on the net have been very inspirational, with great ideas for kit required, carnet/visa issues, local information etc. Some of the most enjoyable ones are:

Long Road Trip South

Tembo & The Dustsuckers

And the obvious one, Lone Wolf Transglobal Expedition

It would be great to hook up & check out your 110 though, PM me if you're intrested  :D

Hi Zacspeed,
Overland shouldn't have to cripple you with expense. Sure, the further away and exotic places the more it will cost, but if you have a sense of advernture, a 4x4 and a tent, then your halfway there!!

No don't know about 'The hubb'??

I have been using LRM own forums.

Yeah, been reading Lone Wolfs journals and I thought it was a shame he missed out Africa, but what an experience!!!

I am away for work just now and 'silly season' is around the corner, so lets grab a beer in early 2008???

Scott.

Africa Jack:
If anyone is wanting any info on Africa - mainly Kenya and south- I know SA, Botswana,Zambia,Malawi,Namibia and Mozambique the best. I can offer plenty of info. I am currently building up and preping a Disco to ship to South Africa for 6 months in March 08. I completed Cape Town to UK about 18 months ago in a 200 Disco. Can offer time for discussions at my place.

The Hubb <--- Clicky link  :wink:

It's a motorcycle based forum but there are threads dedicated to 4x4 too.
