  • Overland Trip

    Just thought I would say 'Hi'
    Been reading all the handy info on here in prep for a year away in the surf we have just bought. The misses and me won't be off till 2011 so that gives us a year to get ready and a year to badger you lot with stupid questions!

    Drove a 20 year old Nissan Micra from the UK to timbuctu last Xmas, across the Atlas in maroc, 3 days in the sahara, river crossings and dirt tracks with holes that you could hide a lorry in! The car never missed a beat!

    Will be doing maroc again as it's great..... Then off to the middle east as well as eastern Europe. We will use this thread for updates of the prep work if that's ok, if not just say so and I will post pics etc.

    The surf is a M reg 3ltr diesel 95'000mls bought on fleabay one owner and imported 4yrs ago. All seems good with the truck and the guy seems to have looked after it very well. Plus it's not been off road....... Yet!

    That's it for now..... Feel free to make suggestions..... Or I WILL badger you.
    Kev and Heike.
    .... Which was nice.

      Yep...that's the one. Was a bit of an adventure with lots of getting lost and very "full on" at times...but a great time had. Lots of pics and video. The year in the surf will be more of a tour. Kinda fed up with things like bills, work, banks and the general state of day to day living. The kids are all grown up so I'm off! The rally gave me a taste for more of the same.

          Hi Tony..... You seem the one to get in touch with I have noticed... So I can see us popping down to you at some point.

          Maroc is very easy and beautiful. The police and officials have been told to welcome tourists so everything is perfect!
