Calling all overlanders, adventurists and independent travellers!
We need your stories to help get our new website up and running! If you've got a trip report or story to tell from your travels then we want you to share it on www.theoverlander.org. Don't worry if you're not a professional writer, just tell it as it happened - where did you go, what vehicle did you take, was the kit up for the job and who went with you?
You can add a trip report by
registering with the site and then adding the information yourself, but if you're feeling lazy you can just send it to
stan@theoverlander.org and we'll take care of it for you.
This month we're giving away an exclusive Overlander T-shirt for every trip report submitted - send yours now and get your T-shirt now !
