Thanks for the feedback, it's an issue we are trying to resolve. We are new to the whole podcast game and especially digital recording. Hopefully the quality is getting better. Unfortunately, by the nature of what we do, we have to record many of the podcasts via Skype, this is proving...

Thanks for the tip off, his website looks good.

We're just three episodes in, but are still looking for interesting stories, if you'd like to share your story please get in touch at aroundtheworldin800days@mail.com

Hi Guys, not sure if this is allowed on the forum but will give it a shot. We’ve set up a podcast dedicated to Overlanding (cyclists, cars, 4x4, motorcyclists and trucks). The venture is currently not commercial and definitely not for profit. The Overlanding Podcast is simply a vehicle for...

Hello fellow travellers! Due to several drop outs we are in need of fellow travellers to join a group planning to cross from India to Thailand in 6 days on March 30th. Please pop us an email for further details... Thanks Andy aroundtheworldin800days@mail.com cheddar76@hotmail.com

Hi Dave, do you know any travellers crossing from India to Myanmar and into Thailand around the end of March? All the members in our group have pulled out, and left us up the creek without a paddle! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Andy aroundtheworldin800days@mail.com

Wow Lemsteraak, just the answer I was looking for. Perfect. Thanks.

Hi Guys We have an Autohome Airtop which we purchased in Dec 2011. The tent is amazing, but has been used for 350+ nights in all weather conditions from the top of mountains to the middle of deserts. We've recently noticed that in heavy rain water is starting to soak into the tent fabric and...

You can catch up with blog posts over on our website - the car is currently out of action with a cracked cylinder head. We're trying to rustle up some cash to repair through crowd-funding. All is not well - the woes of overlanding. :(

Has anyone had any experience using https://galileo-app.com for general navigation? Looking for something with worldwide coverage, that can work off-line and not cost a fortune. Always been a paper map user and feel the need to get with the times! Any suggestions for alternatives would also be...

We use a stocking, hold-ups or tights (in the UK). Cheap and replaceable all over the world. They work perfectly and cost nothing! We also lightly grease the air box which catches any really fine dust which might get through.

Just pinning down a route at the moment, so we'll be hitting up your website and reading all the blogs!

That's in great shape for the age…. Very scarce these days!

Some great films, can't believe we've not come across your site before now. We want to up our film making but it's really hard to find the time to edit on the road.

We left the UK in May 2012 and drove up through Scandinavia to the Arctic Circle and then we drove across Russia to Lake Baikal before heading South into Mongolia. Whilst in Mongolia we received news that both my parents had been diagnosed with Cancer. We turned around and drove back to the UK...

As well as our BBC tv appearance we made it onto Russian TV too..... http://uitv.ru/news/2012/07/12/11703/

SJC that is very well spotted, you must have eagle eyes. It's a home-made headphone pre-amp for our iPod. The signal on the iPod isn't great and so the amp acts as a signal booster before the music gets to the car stereo head unit. They work great if you like your music loud in headphones, here...

Hi Brodyagi. No real problems with the car, except that we cracked the right-hand side rear upper trailing arm mount off the rear axle on the way home. We also had a few alternator and cooling system problems which were fixed easily in Russia. The car is Diesel so low octane fuel wasn't a...

Thanks for the comments and interest. Way back in June the BBC made a short little film (which might not be viewable in all countries) about our adventure and the reasons for doing it. The film is now even more poignant considering the reason we came back. We are itching to get going again in...
