As promised elsewhere, details of a new event in October

It's here at last! The big outdoor event that I've been longing to organise for years has finally been launched!

Entitled ADVENTURE OVERLAND it aims to span the entire overland and adventure travel scene from all-wheel-drive trucks to 4x4's, off-road dirt bikes to tourers, mountain bikes to tandems, adventure sports in the UK to treks, expeditions and explorations in far flung foreign lands.

It also incorporates an element that's linked to all these forms of travel - bushcraft - something that has been neglected in the 4x4 market up until now; not any more!

In a nutshell, it's an event that has never been held before.

The venue's excellent (somewhere new and fresh yet still central), the prices for day visitors, campers & traders are fair and ‘down to earth’ with advance-booking discounts ensuring everyone can afford to attend, the time of year is still mild enough for camping, and importantly, it doesn't clash with any other show.

Check out the website at www.adventureoverlandshow.com and let me know what you think … constructive criticism always welcome!

Great stuff, went to the German one earlier this year
Allrad & Abenteuer....the car park was better :woohoo: :woohoo:

everything inside was for those with too much time and money who want to show off in Africa or Asda

So are you say It wasn't any good?
Or it is for all sorts, but most are interested in those with the ££ to spend on the latest Minki Whale Skin waterproof suite?
