Overland Expo: The Unofficial Start - Thursday

E-mail Print PDF

alt

 Even though Overland Expo officially runs Friday through Sunday, if you were here on Thursday you'd have thought the event was already taking place. A fantastic amount of overlanders showed up one, even two days early for the event, and there was exitement in the air for things to come. If you have the chance to show up a bit early for next years event I'd strongly suggest it, it's a fantastic chance to really catch up with people, and see the entire machine come to life. From Land Rover testing and refining their test track, to getting a little behind the scenes look at everything, it's deffinetly worth it.
