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….

Upgrading the Jimny Tail Lights
I’m actually not that keen on the design of Jimny from the rear (shock, horror!). The stock lights are a bit bland design wise and I noticed @JimnyStyle posted a picture of their new LED tail lights on Instagram. I thought these would add a nice touch. I’m not affiliated to Jimny Style (nor any…

The idea was to make the cargo hooks multi-purpose by creating some leather covers for the metal hooks that would…

Kielder Forest Birthday Overnighter
44 years old biologically and 27 years in my head… it was time for a trip. The weather was looking good for Kielder. As it’s so convenient to get too and you can legally overnight car camp (make sure you pay, it goes towards maintaining the forest) it’s hard not to choose it as our…
