Barry the camel has had some loving

The camel trophy we affectionately call Barry - don't ask it's a long story - has recently undergone some serious maintenance. A full set of new suspension bushes, new shock absorbers and a full engine service including cam belt. It's pretty much ready now just need to work out what to take with us. The overland trailer is also good to go having had a new axle which now incorporates brakes and Land Rover hubs and wheels.

Our Barry doing what he does best!

And so it begins...................

 Welcome to our blog; this is about a trip we are planning around the Baltic Sea, some 3500 miles in a month driving a Land Rover Defender 110Camel Trophy towing an overland trailer tent. Crossing from England into France, through Germany, across into Denmark on to Sweden and beyond; well you get the picture, we plan to do more updates as we prepare for the trip so keep an eye on this page.
