    Travelling the Middle East?

    Hey all, I thought I'd post a thread on this. This is part of the London to OZ thread posted in the forum. Does anyone have any (constructive) comments for travelling the Iran/Afghanistan/Pakistan route? The route is at this link: London - Sydney - Google Maps Thanks in advance! Jon

    UK to OZ - Summer 2012 anyone?

    How is Afghanistan for security? I heard it's an amazing country... Has it calmed down enough there to travel through it? Jon

    UK to OZ - Summer 2012 anyone?

    I'm trying to avoid Pakistan for no real good reason at the moment, but purely on people "suggesting" it is unsafe... Chinese guide is the next thing I need to organise... If you want to pass me the contacts of the one you use it would be great, thanks! Jon

    UK to OZ - Summer 2012 anyone?

    Well, there would be a LOT to ask! :) Firstly I am planning to include India and Nepal in the trip, which makes finding a route very hard unless you drive through Pakistan (which I am trying to avoid). I have found a piste that goes from Pusa Pasture (West China) to Duomaxiang on G219 road (see...

    Heya! I am looking for other cars interested in a UK to Australia overland expedition. I will be doing the route as a one-way trip ending up in Sydney, and it would be nice to have another car for this trip to join as a team! :) I drive a 110 Double Cab Pickup, which is almost all kitted up...

    Hi Kris, I have been told you are local in Surrey do you guys ever go out for green laning or some offroading weekends or days out? Could you perhaps let me know if you do? I have a 110 Jon

    Green Laning around London somewhere?

    Thanks for tips, yes it might also be lack of effort... But in any case it's always nicer to go in a group than alone... no? Anyone around? :) Jon

    Green Laning around London somewhere?

    Hey all, I am from South London, and I have not had a chance to get my Landy on the dirt since I bought it... (been off roading with other cars, just not with this one yet! Anyone from around London who knows some lanes and wants to go for a weekend out? Perhaps when it warms up a bit so we...

    Want to do an expedition, no idea where!

    What you guys think of the show? I was there Friday night... I did not think it was THAT amazing... Jon

    Want to do an expedition, no idea where!

    Let's see how that one goes! I might be going with a (biker) friend. I doubt you'll see my landy parked outside though... it's too central into London...

    Want to do an expedition, no idea where!

    Hey guys! I'm jumping in to this thread too! I have a TD5 110, and I am also looking for a destination and perhaps other cars for a trip... Either north (Norway/Sweden, etc) or Morocco would do for me... I think Morocco would be more exciting, and more expensive too! I'd be happy to join a car...

    New 4x4 overland travel forum launched

    You got a good start... I'd work on the looks a bit more though and remove some banners form the top (too distracting and lacks professionalism in my opinion) Jon

    110 Double cab pickup - HARD BACK?

    The Patriot Security Tilt looks fantastic I know! Google has no images for it... The one I posted from from landynet forums i think... Apparently Patriot Racks resellers will have this, or can be ordered priced at £450.00 or so... :-)
