Hopefully you will be able to get a taste of expeditions with Land Rovers around the world. I am trying to collate resources of current and past expeditions using Land Rovers, technical articles and to enpower you to feel the buzz of using a Land Rover as it’s meant to be!

And now something about me… I’ve spent two years and 14,000 miles using Land Rovers in support of expeditions in Belize and Ghana, where I caught the Land Rover bug! I have only used Defender 300Tdi 110’s, Hard top and Station Wagon, and found them to be incredibly capable and intricate machines, and a valuable tool in the jungle environments I have worked in.

I became interested in the workings of Land Rovers, and found the mechanics to be typically British in design and functionality, not least because they kept breaking down. Running two Land Rovers with regular off road usage took their toll on the years old machines, and things were constantly going wrong. Trying to juggle a maintenance budget and get the best repair possible, I started wanting to know more and more about things I could do myself.

Being half way round the world, the Internet was a prime source for advice and knowledge to undertake simple tasks,: changing universal joints, lights, shock absorbers, brake pads, servicing, but it would take a lot of my time trying to find how to do things the best way.

I found some amazingly detailed technical guides on various forums, after a lot of digging, and would really have liked all the information centralised to make it easier to find the good, useful stuff. So that’s where this site was born. It’s themed around expeditions because that’s the only way I know how to use Land Rovers. The 9-5 commute is not something I could use one for.

I’ve bought my own Land Rover now, a 1992 Defender 110 Hardtop. I’m in the process of fixing and kitting it out and dream of having fun around the world. I run this site on that dream, to help others fulfil theirs and those who have, to help inspire everyone else.
