Royal Geog Soc Overland Workshop May 23
Dear All
There has been so much interest in overlanding amongst folk that the Royal Geographical Society are supporting an Overland Travel Workshop near York (UK) on Sat May 23rd. Format is a day-long series of talks on various topics with ten typical overland trucks to look round (TLCs and LRs mainly), a medical workshop is being run and there is a range (about 15) of trade stands in attendance. The basic idea is to bring together those who want to make a trip with those who have made a trip, add those who can sell kit to help make it happen, and get them all talking to each other. Sorry bikers - at this stage its 4x4-oriented. Bikes welcome however! Admission is £5 per 4x4. Camping (basic facilities) on site - PM me for details if you want to come! Cheers Runner (Sam Watson, Yorks and NE RGS)

Looks like a great complement to the Overland Expo, held in Arizona last week. As an FRGS, I wish I could be there to contribute, good luck with it.
Please post after the event, I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to know who it goes. Nick. Last edited by nickt; 4 May 2009 at 19:48. Reason: fixed typo |

Thanks. It should be good - there's quite a few folk coming, and six talks, plus a good few trade stands and 140 pints of specially-made real ale to drink... its just a faff to organise it!

RGS Overland Workshop
Phew - finally get time to reply. The Workshop was great - 63 folk booked as coming, over 200 turned up (stretching the food budget!). All talks and workshops were very well received and there was a huge groundswell of feeling for another such workshop next year - but bigger and longer. So that's what we are planning for now! The
sort of lasted - we ran out but the local pub didnt ![]() Thanks to everyone for your support ![]() S
