Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone from here is going to this?
We'll be heading up there in our Defender....if it makes it (LR reliability etc)

Come on, my 110 has just done 2,500 miles touring N & NW Scotland without a hitch (quickly touches wood!)

I'm hoping to get over there - it's the last one

Hahah, Did you have a good time? We did a loooot of miles in ours doing N & NW Scotland too, from Devon earlier this year (Feb), it was stunning, very wet, but stunning. Had a Universal Joint reach it's limit part way up, but that was it luckily. But I always sit on the side of caution now

We did thanks, despite some pretty mean weather

I replaced the front prop UJs before we went!

Ooo very nice!
I learnt about UJ's on the way Thankfully a v nice garage in Kendal sorted us out same day and had us on the road in an hour (well, it was longer than an hour, but only because we talked landrovers for a while! )

That pic was late last year, over Christmas we redid the back with extra storage, loads of insulation and made it a lot tidier looking... Downfall is we shrunk the bed size in the back and made it very cramped for the Scotland trip (ended up top and tailing).

We've got a roof tent now which has revolutionised the experience. Bedroom upstairs, dining and sitting room downstairs!

Loose plan is to one day change the roof for a pop top, but they're too dear for us currently..
