Whereisgibson has landed

[whereisgibson]

Hello My name is Martin and I've had this white LC80 manual a year. It's stock I think.

The only 4x4 experience I have was wrecking the half shafts of a disco on a 4x4 experience day.

By way of introduction I spend my day clicking on things, and planning roadtrip escapes. Here are some picks of my recent roadtrips and I hope to have the white beast in some of them soon.

Mongol Rally 2007:

London to Dakar 2008/9:

Non-EU Europe 2009:

London-Tbilisi-Bahrain 2010:

I hope to come along to some of the meets and be an active member of this forum.

Cherio,
Martin

Great reports thanks, read scotland and Iceland so far. I know scotland well, living up here, but nice to see the photos of places I love

Iceland, wow an amazing trip. Even more excited about our trip there in July next year in the Hilux.

Now to read the other report

Thanks for sharing your adventures

Somehow, I seemed to have missed this post...

Great photos indeed, a couple of them not too far from me it seems:

The Transfagarasan



and the Transalpina (If I'm not mistaken, before they re-built it; it's all asphalt now)



More travels to come, methinks....

 

[whereisgibson]

Cheers Andy - do get in touch if you need some Iceland route planning. I found a couple 'must do' routes if you've a capable vehicle that I've not seen discussed online or in books before.

 

[whereisgibson]

Clive, sad to hear the 67c is now paved. Progress I suppose. Great while it lasted!

 

[AndyCook]

Thanks, going with Atlas Overland this time, so Peter will be route master

Just seen Iceland - brilliant. Definitely on the list.

Coincidentally I did a similar loop of Scandinavia in 2013 at around the same time, carrying ehrmmm slightly more stuff than you. I think I was around 1 week behind you and also had to alter my plans to accommodate the holed ferry!
