Always fancied a shot of a superjeep, that looks awesome Mike. Were you driving it or was it a tour?
Plans are looking dubious, wife is firmly vitoing the idea. Plan B may be to buy an mx5 shed to rag round the Island :-D

Driving. 5 of us (1 to many :blackeye ) hired it for the week and rained for pretty much the full week.....not ideal as we were camping :lol:

Great fun, but we never got to adventurous with the off roading just in case! Ideal for the water crossings however. Also had a on board compressor for inflating the tyres which was nice.

Some place, would love to go back in the winter :thumbsup

Some pics....

Food for the week...

Eventually found the Dakota for lunch through GPS coordinates...Epic :wink:

Views..

Plan was to wild camp but the sites were so cheap it would be rude not to. Drying out the gear...

Last day we spent at the Blue Lagon 8)

We did it slightly differently (I would have preferred Mike's way but I went with pilots).

Literally knocked on the door of their club house and said can we all have a shot in your gliders please. Very accommodating folk.

My defender is about to go on the market, all you would need to do is put your kit in and go.

I suspect ever so slightly out of our budget Graham!
Was there a professional video of your epic siberian trip?
