Last Solo Camp Before Lockdown
I’m a big believer in doing one thing every day to make your life better tomorrow. As a result I often make last minute decisions to go camping as the opportunity arrives. Having a daily driver that can be converted in less than 30 minutes to camper is ideal. Camping and being outdoors is (in…

In a post on Instagram I mentioned that I needed more practice off-roading, as much of what I’ve been doing with the Jimny has only been camping. Mat from North West Overlander commented that I should join his small group for a few lanes and camping in the Yorkshire Dales at the end of November….

Okay, I know what you’re thinking. He’s losing the plot now. The truth is it can be done. You will definitely need a roof rack and waterproof storage for all your food and kit. Granted it’ll not be ideal for long trips but I reckon an overnight trip would be great fun. An experience shared…
