Overland Traveler's Website Links (permanent work in progress :)

[Ruined Adventures]

We might as well add our names to the list. Brenton & Shannon driving from Texas to Patagonia, zig-zagging all the way across the Americas. We're currently taking our time through Mexico, but we'll get there eventually. After South America there's a strong possibility we'll head to Africa.

You can follow us through our website, or even on Facebook

great blog - I have had a Eurovan myself and had to deal with the infamous transmission...good luck. Don't forget that I believe technically you are supposed to swap the electronic module from your original transmission (or something like that, I don't remember the exact details - but it was complex).

This is a great list! It is always good to get ideas and tips from other travelers. I would like to share our blog as well, www.adventureamericas.wordpress.com. We are currently in Nicaragua on our drive through the Americas.

Discovered this image when I was just mooching about on t'internet, and it did make me smile

I loved my 130 Exped.......it did 5 years as a support truck for off-road motorcycle adventures in Morocco and took us on numerous family holidays......Superb off road, as long as you knew how to deal with berms and a 130 inch wheelbase

I got her stuck a good few times, but the most embarrassing was definitely when we decided to do some extreme shopping at the local supermarket 1 mile from home......They'd piled up metre high banks to stop the travellers from towing their caravans onto the dead lands around the supermarket.....I just couldn't see that as anything other than a challenge, so we took them one by one, until I managed to beach the thing on a particularly high one when I had to approach it a bit too straight on


Much giggling from the kids in the back, stifled laughter from the missus in the front as I got the high lift jack out, lifted the front up 18 inches, pushed the rig backwards off the jack and repeated it a few times until I regained drive

Happy days!!!



First post by the way, though long term lurker ...Hi all




EDIT........Looking at the pod on the back and the reg number, I rather suspect that mine came from the same place as the top photo....an ex-electricity board pylon servicing vehicle

I should maybe have posted this here, so it is moved.
Hi All,
My wife and I are steadily working our way around Scandinavia and Europe...Having been through Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Latvia.
I was recommended to join this site from another, and it looks pretty good to me, I'm enjoying reading of others trips, as we nick wi-fi from outside a spa hotel somewhere....
It's a bit of an anthropological journey for me, or maybe just getting to know the neighbours. I am interested in the similarities and differences between all we tribes who inhabit this crowded Northern hemisphere. Some are roads well traveled, by better folk than me, but as the European dream seems ready to topple, I am interested in how the people feel.
I can assure you, there will be no self empowerment involved.

We bought a van, a load of gear, and I made it into a camper van. Pretty hurriedly in fact. The only bit that has let us down so far was Fords doing, ie the engine. The whole thing has been great fun, and a bit of hard work, so far.

Cheers, Kevin.
