The inaugural Landy Festival was held over the weekend of the 3rd and 4th march 2012 in South Africa. In total, 1007 Land Rovers lined up for the 27km long convoy…. This is the official video footage that sums up the entire experience and reconfirms…..our Landy’s Have Soul!

The alarm trilled annoyingly at 6:30 am and we leapt out of bed, still exhausted from our frantic purchasing spree the day before, where we’d invested in rainsuits, gloves, thermal underwear, polar fleece jackets and whatever else we thought we’d need for the icy cold weather in Cederberg. We’d burned the midnight oil getting our bikes ready and packed, screwing in a bracket to hold down our spare fuel canister and tying everything down securely. Needless to say, tired was an understatement.
Suitably layered with warm clothes, we started up our bikes (two LML/Vespa’s) and set off to Stellenbosch, where we’d be meeting Hein Gerber and his 9-year old son Daniel, before heading out to Wellington to meet the rest of the crew.
My bike, as yet unnamed and untested, had only 380km on the clock, while Chris’ had 1800. Our furthest trip so far had been the 40 km of tarred road from Somerset West to Muizenburg. (more…)

Wouldn’t it be great if your 4×4 insurance policy covered emergency accommodation so that you, your family and your damaged 4×4 can be brought back to South Africa safely? We offer full cover in: Angola, Botswana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Republic of South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe! (more…)

The questions that currently begs for an answer “Is this the end of a legend, an icon in Africa”? Is the Land Rover Defender busy dying?
Although the technology currently in use is some 26 years old, the concept for its replacement, the DC100, seems to be very controversial. The new replacement very well may be a fantastic vehicle, arguably better than its predecessor, but there is no chance that it will be the same vehicle.
Here are some “facts” about the substitute:
The car has been confirmed for launch in 2015, and although official details are still scarce, the Land Rover design team – led by Gerry McGovern – has aimed for what it calls a “functional and purposeful design” that celebrates the practicality of the original. (more…)

The SA Adventure Ladies Club set off on the 15th of April to Lesotho, for what was to be our first official Hand Me Down redistribution. We had chosen to work with Maliba Mountain Lodge. The lodge has sponsored a community centre in the nearby village Ha Mali that caters for orphaned children. We had the two Landy’s and the little Terrios known as ‘The Fish’ packed to the max with second-hand clothes that had been donated and we were very excited to get to our destination! (more…)
